Anja Ringgren Loven gives water to Hope, 2, after finding the emaciated boy wandering the streets Anja Ringgren Lovén/Facebook
Harrowing pictures show how a starving two-year-old Nigerian
boy was rescued after being discovered naked and wandering the streets
because his family thought he was a witch.
The boy, who has been named Hope, was found emaciated and riddled
with worms after being forced to live off scraps of food thrown to him
by passersby for eight months.
He was rescued by Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman living in
Africa who bent down and began feeding the boy and giving him water.
She then wrapped the boy in a blanket and took him to the nearest hospital.
The Government has announced that it will begin relocating Burundian refugees who fled the ongoing conflict in their country.
Rwanda is host to about 75,000 refugees.
According to statement released early Friday morning
by the Office of the Government Spokesperson, Rwanda will "immediately
begin working with partners in the international community to plan the
orderly and safe relocation of Burundian refugees to third countries."
Foreign Minister and Government Spokesperson Louise Mushikiwabo
pointed out that while Rwanda readily shoulders its obligations to
protect and care for refugees, experience in the Great Lakes is that the
long-term presence of refugees so close to their country of origin
carries considerable risks for all involved.
"The callous indifference to the well known root causes of
instability in Burundi, and the refugee exodus is troubling. It also
exposes refugees to increased threats from forces at home and
compromises lasting political solutions."
"For Rwanda, the growing risks to our national security from the
Burundian impasse and misunderstandings in our foreign relations are
unacceptable.”
Rwanda has previously requested international partners and
organisations to host Burundians living in camps and in towns in Rwanda.
"No party has come forward yet, even as the political situation in
the refugees' country of origin shows no improvement," the statement
read in part.
Minister Mushikiwabo said that for Rwanda and the region, the costs
of repeating past mistakes of political mismanagement and international
politicking, at Rwanda's expense, are too high.
This new development comes after a leaked UN report alleged that Rwanda was training Burundian rebels.
The report cited "testimonies" from up to seven Burundians found in DR Congo forests as the evidence for the accusations.
The Government has previously cautioned against using Rwanda as a scapegoat for crisis in Burundi.LINK

The Nigerian Air Force, NAF, Saturday said it was yet to locate the
missing girls taken away by Boko Haram insurgents on April 14, 2014 from
a school in Chibok, Borno State.
The clarification came on the heels of media reports suggesting that
the NAF had found the location where the kidnapped girls were being held
in Sambisa forest.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Ayodele Famuyiwa, the Nigerian
Air Force categorically denied the claim that it spotted the girls.
“The attention of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been drawn to a
statement to the effect that the NAF has located the position of the
Chibok girls,’ Mr. Famuyiwa said.
“Please let it be known that this statement is a misrepresentation of
the interview that the NAF Director of Public Relations gave the
Channels Television that was aired on Friday 12 February 2016.
“The NAF is hereby making it categorically clear that in the said
interview the Director made mention of the NAF’s ability to identify
POSSIBLE LOCATION that the girls might be in.
“Hence, the NAF wishes to categorically state that it has at no time
identified the specific location of the Chibok girls. However, it is
working round the clock with surveillance aircraft covering the over
157,000 km2 area of the North East in order to identify the position of
not only the Chibok girls but other Nigerians that might have been held
captives.
“Towards the realization of this goal, the NAF has from January 2016
till date using aircraft, ISR platforms such as ATR-42, B-350 and CH-3
UAV flown surveillance missions totaling over 346 hours consuming about
85,887 litres of Jet A-1 and 3,830 litres of Mogas costing
N15,337,862:50 and $19,150:00 respectively.”
