Tutsis not singled out for Canadian resettlement

    NAIROBI
    Following an IRIN report of 22 February regarding resettlement of persons at risk in Kinshasa, the Canadian government said it wished to clarify that it has “no special program that singles out or accelerates the resettlement of Tutsis.” In a statement sent to IRIN today, the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi said Canada has a regional processing centre in Accra, Ghana, from which various immigration programmes for the DRC and other countries are coordinated. This includes refugee and humanitarian programmes undertaken in cooperation with UNHCR and other UN agencies, the statement said.
