Rwanda has reached an agreement with the United States to accept up to 250 migrants deported from the US. The deal, signed by officials from both countries in Kigali, includes provisions for the deportees to receive workforce training, health care, and accommodation upon arrival in Rwanda. This arrangement reaffirms Rwanda's commitment to supporting displaced populations and promoting their reintegration. A government spokesperson, Yolande Makole, confirmed these details to the BBC. Rwanda is the third African country to agree to receive deported migrants from the United States. US officials indicated that preparations are underway for the first group of deportees to be sent to Rwanda, though no specific timeline has been provided.
