Resettlement planned in northwest

    NAIROBI
    The government has identified sites for the resettlement of displaced populations in northwest Rwanda, and topographical surveys are currently underway, according to the latest monthly report prepared by OCHA-Rwanda. The resettlement sites, in the Cyeru and Rwerere communes, were chosen based on accessibility to water, health and educational facilities as well as agricultural land, the report said. The aim is to resettle displaced people in their areas of origin for increased safety, the report added.
