Third Rwandan rebel reportedly accepted by Australia in US refugee swap deal

The three men are former members of a Hutu rebel group that is an offshoot of groups largely responsible for 1994 genocide

The Australian government has reportedly accepted a third Rwandan man who had been charged with murder as part of a refugee swap deal with the United States.

In May it was revealed Australia had accepted two men as refugees for resettlement in November 2018, Leonidas Bimenyimana and Gregoire Nyaminani, and they were living in Australia.
