REFUGEES FEAR WAR COULD HIT RWANDA

REFUGEES from war zones are terrified they are about to be thrown into another in Rwanda.

Last week, the Court of Appeal ruled it was too unsafe to fly asylum seekers there but ministers plan to appeal to the Supreme Court.

And it comes despite fears violent border clashes between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo could explode into war.

Analysts say a million people have been displaced by fighting with M23 rebels, who Rwanda denies backing. And both nations accuse each other of firing rockets across the border.

A Syrian refugee living in a Nottingham hotel said: "My wife and daughter are still in Syria but I'd rather die than take them from a war zone in Syria to another in Rwanda."
