Focus on World Refugee Day : Rwanda, a beacon of hope for Refugees: After war, there can be peace and hope
Paul Vicent Rukonji is part of the refugee generation that has repatriated to their homeland after living for decades outside Rwanda. He was born in 1959, at a time when genocide had sprouted in the country, forcing some of his family and relatives to flee to neighbouring Uganda and eventually settling in Tanzania where they found a sense of security, albeit for a short season.
