The new 'Rwanda deal' was a shock to Rwandans. We know this is no place for asylum seekers
Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza in The Guardian
Britain's Rwanda migrant deal "should be opposed on the basis of the facts", says the former Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza in The Guardian. Human rights in Rwanda are "appalling", meaning no migrant will get a "real solution" here. Many Rwandans "disapprove of the deal" but "fear of the authorities" means they will not speak out. Consequently, efforts to transfer migrants "must be stopped" until Britain "has supported the country to improve".
