Information on Rwandan and Burundian refugees in Cameroon could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within time constraints.
Further, a request for information on these subjects was made in a 27 October 1997 letter to the UNHCR branch in Ottawa. To date neither an acknowledgement of receipt of the letter nor a response has been received by the Research Directorate.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
