DR Congo has issued directive barring anyone employed by government from staying in Rwanda – adding yet another layer to increasing border controls.

The country’s immigration directorate (DGM) in North Kivu, has this Tuesday written to all heads of government agencies to ensure none of their staff resides outside DRC border.

Rwanda’s Rubavu district bordering Goma and Rusizi against Bukavu in South Kivu, have for years been home to Congolese unsure what could happen anytime.

In addition, with the presence of thousands of aid workers and UN employees, accommodation was had to come by. Rubavu and Rusizi have boomed as a result, as they have not only provided a safe haven, but also all the amenities of life.

For example, more than 100,000 litres of fresh water are ferried from Rubavu across to Goma everyday. Even Congolese requiring HIV/Aids medication, some get their doses from inside Rwanda.

To be closer to services, many North Kivu officials and able ordinary Congolese reside in Rwanda. They trek daily back to Congo every morning for work.

The immigration directorate says a written permission will be required at border from any government employee traversing to Rwanda. The document will indicate specific details of what exactly they are coming to Rwanda for.

The new border control comes after expensive visa fee was imposed on Rwandans travelling to Goma. Since last week, no Rwandan students are also allowed to cross to Goma unless they have student visas.

The new changes also come as Congo, specifically, North Kivu is struggling to recover from a devastating ebola epidemic. Up to 2,000 people have been killed.

The border controls take immediate effect from today September 10, 2019.

  65. Okay, so today I am going to show you how to sync your Google Contacts on your Chromebook. A small note before I start this. This is available only under a flag which you can enable from chrome: flags. Using this guide, you’ll learn How to sync Google contacts with Android using Google’s official sync method. Also, we will show you another method for syncing your Google contacts manually, in case your device’s internet connection is not working or if the sync feature isn’t working properly. If, however, you use exclusively Apple devices, you have a choice: use Apple’s iCloud, or use Google Contacts. iCloud is designed to work seamlessly with iOS devices, and if you use iCloud or Apple’s Mail app everywhere for your email, it’s the obvious choice. but if you have an iPhone and or iPad and use Gmail on the web for your email, it may still be a good idea to use Google Contacts—that way, your contacts are synced between your phones, tablets, and your web-based email.

    Step 4: Now for the slightly tricky bit, selecting all the contacts in the Contact list. To do this, single click the first contact on the list, scroll to the last contact, then click the last contact whilst holding down the shift button. This should select all contacts in your list as demonstrated in the screenshot below. Today we will tell you how to transfer Google contacts to your iCloud account. Both of these accounts are entirely different. So, most of the people think that they cannot do this job. However, you will need a computer or Mac to do this job. In order to import Google contacts to iCloud account, you will need to first save the contacts in your system and then import your Gmail contacts to your iCloud account. The whole process is straightforward and just takes a few minutes. Here is how you can do this.
