** Hundreds of Rwandan refugees—many of them women and children—who fled to the Democratic Republic of Congo during the 1994 genocide have finally returned home. The UN refugee agency facilitated the repatriation of 360 people, marking the start of a larger effort to bring back around 2,000 refugees still living in Congo.

What This Mean: ** This is a small but meaningful step toward healing one of the darkest chapters in Rwanda's history. For decades, many refugees lived in limbo, unable or unwilling to return after the genocide. Their homecoming isn’t just about logistics—it’s a sign of fragile trust being rebuilt, even if challenges like reintegration and reconciliation remain. For Rwanda, it’s another milestone in moving forward.
