The family of Paul Rusesabagina, the man whose heroism inspired the Hotel Rwanda movie, has spoken on his arrival to the US after more than two years in a Rwandan prison.
Mr Rusesabagina, 68, arrived at his home in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday afternoon after departing from Qatar.
“Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring him home. Our family is finally reunited today,” his daughter Carine Kanimba – who lead campaign to free her father, said on Twitter.
“We’re glad to have him back on US soil”, the White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan was also quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
Mr Rusesabagina was freed after talks brokered by Qatar. He was serving a sentence to 25 years on terrorism charges.
