UNITED KINGDOM EXPULSION OFILLEGAL MIGRANTS IN RWANDA | |
After months of legal battle, the British Parliament finally adopted a bill authorizing the return of illegal immigrants to Rwanda. This decision, presented in April 2022 by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, praised Rwanda for its reception and integration of migrants. Despite controversies and a temporary suspension by the European Court of Human Rights in June 2022, British MPs have maintained their position. On the night of Monday to Tuesday, they voted in favor of this law allowing London to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda. Despite Rishi Sunak's assurance that flights to Rwanda will take place, the application of this law remains uncertain, with the possibility of future interventions from the European Court of Human Rights and the British Supreme Court, which had already deemed the initial project illegal last November. Furthermore, rebuilding their lives in a country with almost 20% unemployment promises to be difficult. Especially since London promised 144 million euros to Kigali. |
