Zambia: Zambia to revoke status of Rwanda refugees

Zambia has started the process to revoke the status of an estimated 6,000 Rwandan refugees that fled from the genocide in 1994, the Zambian Ministry of Home Affairs announced. The announcement comes amid threats by the UNHCR to send back 10,000 refugees from the DRC illegally settled on Zambia's northern border with the vast central African state following complaints from the Zambian government.
