Around migration in Rwanda
In recent years, Rwanda has established itself as a destination for migrants that are to be deported by western countries. Despite the concerns of human rights groups that indicate the inadequate compliance with fundamental human rights in Kigali, the country has assumed this role.Agreement with Great Britain and its effects
in 2022 Kigali signed an agreement with Great Britain to accept thousands of asylum seekers from the United Kingdom. However, this agreement was lifted last year by the newly elected Prime Minister Keir Strander. In an interview with the state broadcaster Rwanda TV: "We are in conversations with the United States."
Current conversations with the USA
"It has not yet reached the status that we can say exactly how to proceed, but the conversations last and are still in the early phase," he added.
immigration policy under Donald Trump
President Donald Trump started a comprehensive offensive against immigration during his second term in January and tried to freeze the US escape settlement program. His government worked intensively on deporting illegal immigrants and other non-citizens.
risks for migrants and the role of UNHCR
The United Nations' refugee agency (UNHCR) warned that there is a risk that some migrants who are sent to Rwanda could be sent back to their home countries from which they have fled. Kigali, on the other hand, rejected these allegations and accused the UNHCR to spread incorrect information.
cases of returns and legal challenges
Last month, the US government deported an Iraqi refugee to Rwanda, which it tried to extradite for a long time, after the Iraqi government had claimed that he was active for the Islamic State, as a US official and an internal email.
In April, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the government of Trump, which had used a rarely used war law rule to deport a group of Venezuelan migrants that accused them of as gang members.
