Rwanda: Monuc Cited in 'Ex-Combatants' Scam

Eight Burundians have accused the UN Mission to Congo (MONUC) of involvement in the fraudulent registration of non-Rwandans as ex-combatants seeking 'repatriation'. According to the Chairman of the Rwanda Demobilisation and Reintegration Commission (RDRC) John Sayinzoga, the eight told RDRC officials that some MONUC officials connive with one 'Mama Claude' to 'repatriate' people allegedly from the DRC for US5 per person and a further reward of Frw.10,000, after receiving their 'resettlement package'.
