A meeting place to exchange views, no matter how different or diverse these may be. Keeping these civil and courteous would be appreciated
The Trump administration has struck deals with third-party countries, including four in Africa, to accept US deportees.
Rwanda has announced it received seven people deported from the United States as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration.
A Rwandan government spokesperson said on Thursday that the deportees arrived in mid-August, marking the first transfer in an agreement that might see as many as 250 people arrive in the central African country.
“Three of the individuals have expressed a desire to return to their home countries, while four wish to stay and build lives in Rwanda,” spokesperson Yolande Makolo said in a statement.
“Regardless of their specific needs, all of these individuals will receive appropriate support and protection from the Rwandan government.”
Makolo emphasised that the Rwandan government had “vetted” the deportees before their arrival.
They are currently being “accommodated by an international organisation” and would receive visits from local social services and the International Organization for Migration, a United Nations agency, she added.
Rwanda is the fourth African country to agree to receive deportations of non-citizens from the US, alongside Uganda, Eswatini and South Sudan.
The US has declined to comment on the recent deportation, and the identities of the seven individuals have not been publicly disclosed.
“Unwanted” humans?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly Bolehland Navy was instructed to shoot (sorry, shoo) Vietnamese boat people. Thousands were cramped in open air prison (Pulau Bidong) then shipped off to third party countries.
Oz did the same - cramped in Christmas Island, Nauru, Papua New Guinea etc.
