STORYLINE:
Sitting on her bed in the hostel where she now lives, Gebrayesus Winta Girmay's frustration is visible when talking about her life in Libya. Gebrayesus is an Eritrean who worked as a cleaner in Egypt before heading to Libya from where she was evacuated to Rwanda.
She is one of the African asylum seekers from a variety of countries who were evacuated out of Libya detention centers through a transit mechanism to the Gashora transit facility in eastern Rwanda's Bugesera District.
Gebrayesus was flown to Rwanda over a year ago by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) after spending five months in Libya.
The asylum seekers that Xinhua met at the transit center speak warmly about the reception in Rwanda.

"I love Rwanda because Rwanda is more peaceful. I can live happily here as long as I am leaving soon, and because it's peaceful, I chose here. From Eritrea, my plan was to stay in Ethiopia. There was a refugee camp in Ethiopia. So that was my plan. But after I went to the camp, it was crowded, and I didn't see hope there."
Last year, more than 6,600 people had received resettlement assistance from Rwanda by November, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Those resettled included 1,288 persons who were first evacuated from Libya to Rwanda.
The asylum seekers were evacuated to the center in separate batches under the 2019 memorandum of understanding signed between the Rwandan government, the UNHCR, and the African Union.
The asylum seekers live at the Rwandan transit facility pending the processing of their resettlement to other countries.
