Exiles want talks with Kagame

Exiled Rwandans have said they want to hold talks with Rwandan President Paul Kagame before deciding whether to return home. At his inauguration on Saturday, Kagame appealed to Rwandans outside the country to come back. "We are satisfied that Kagame has acknowledged that there are refugees outside the country," Charles Ndereyehe, who leads the Rassemblement pour le retour des refugies et la democratie au Rwanda (RDR), told the BBC
Kinyarwanda service. "We are also asking to hold talks with Kagame before returning home...because we believe that talks are necessary for us to agree on questions which create refugee situations." He noted that some RDR members had returned to Rwanda "but cannot speak their minds because there is no freedom of speech in Rwanda". "We are therefore talking on behalf of those inside the country who cannot express themselves and those
still in exile," he added.
