Louise Mushikiwabo told a local media portal that the government was ready to find space for Africans in Libya even though Rwanda was a small place. \u00a0In an official statement, the government joined the world to condemn the CNN<\/span> report that exposed the human slavery enterprise in the north African country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am deeply appreciative of the offer made by the government of Rwanda to resettle up to 30,000 African migrants languishing in Libya or transport those who wish to return to their countries of origin.<\/p>\n
