Rwanda captures Malawi rebel in DRC
A Malawian is said to be among a group of RNC combatants arrested in Democratic Republic of Congo and were arraigned in Rwandese military court on Wednesday.
Rwanda’s The NewTimes newspaper says four Burundians and three Ugandans are also among the 25 Rwanda National Congress (RNC) rebel group members captured and arraigned in the court.
The Malawian national has been identified as Lambert Ribanje, who was born in 1996 in Rumazi camp in Tanzania, according to The NewTimes.
The newspaper says Ribanje and the other 24 rebels have since been charged with being part of an unlawful military outfit, treason, forming an illegal military outfit, and conniving with foreign countries to destabilize Rwanda.
The report says led by South African-based fugitive Kayumba Nyamwasa, RNC is a terrorist organization blamed for a spate of grenade attacks in Rwanda between 2010 and 2014 that killed 17 people and injured over 400 others.
There was no immediate comment from Malawi authorities on the issue.

How is he Malawian?
Honestly speaking he is not a Malawian. If you look at his name it doesn’t sound Malawian name but he might have been found with an identity of Malawi e.g. passport. So let’s not get worried as Malawians law catch with him.
But why we are keeping refugees here while there countries have peace? please send them back close all camps we are destroying our country.
The issue here is not that of immigration or corruption matters is an issue of UNHCR and the Dzaleka management. Lambert Ribanje was born in the refugee camp in Tanzania and grown up in Dowa/Dzaleka camp in Malawi which is only the country he knows before sent to rebel group in Congo, that is why Malawi has been mentioned and we may expect other cases like this one of Ribanje. Rebels don’t need passports but guns

A refugee can use any passport which can help him or her to travel abroad without being a citizen of that country in using all means available to him/her. The Malawi passport is not only that has problem than those of Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, DRC etc…
