Rwanda

A 1000-strong protest on Monday night raged at judges' decision to throw out an appeal to stop the Tories' first deportation flight to Rwanda.

Already over half of those due to be kicked out of Britain on the first flight have been taken off after individual legal challenges. We have to stand up.” Justice Jonathan Smith ruled last Friday that there was “material Public interest” in allowing home secretary Priti Patel to continue with Rwanda deportation policy.

But those sent to Rwanda under the deal with Britain must apply for asylum in Rwanda. Rwandan authorities have said the agreement would initially last for five years, with the British government paying £120 million upfront for housing and integrating the asylum seekers.

Those set to arrive under Rwanda’s new agreement with Britain will be housed in shelters around Kigali with features like private rooms, televisions and a swimming pool. Britain will be central there as it continues to face questions about its deal with Rwanda. Rwandan authorities have said the agreement would initially last for five years, with the British government paying 120 million pounds ($158 million) upfront to pay for housing and integrating the asylum-seekers. Rwanda is one of the most densely populated countries in the world and still among the least developed despite its focus on modernizing since the country’s 1994 genocide. The U.K. government's deportation plan has been widely criticized, including by Prince Charles, according to newspaper reports. Britain is expected to pay more as Rwanda accepts more migrants, although the exact number of people the U.K. is expected to send isn't known. “They have a disease in the head and cannot settle here,” he said of their determination to move. “Sometimes I play football and in the evening I drink because I have nothing to do,” said Faisal, a 20-year-old from Ethiopia who was relocated to Rwanda from Libya in 2019 in the first group of refugees resettled under a deal with the United Nations. “I pray daily to God that I leave this place.”

"You can't compare it (Libya and Rwanda)," said Zemen Fesaha, 26, an Eritrean refugee at the Gashora transit center. Migrants stay between four and eight months on average before being resettled abroad, according to the center's manager. The UK plan has also drawn criticism from the only opposition party that ran against Rwandan President Paul Kagame in the last election, the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, who say the country can't afford it. In fact, she said, Rwanda could soon be accepting migrants from Denmark as well, with negotiations close to a conclusion. According to a parliamentary research briefing, the British government said it expects these will be similar to asylum processing costs in the UK, which stand at around £12,000 per person. Makolo admits that a similar program with Israel did not work and Rwanda abandoned it "very quickly." While the cost of individual flights varied depending on the destination, the figures mean that on average, the Home Office spent £183,000 per flight or £9,700 per person.

Whether their claim is approved or rejected these migrants will be offered a legal pathway to stay in Rwanda.” The survey also found a striking difference reflecting political affiliation, with 74 percent of Conservatives supporting the policy and only 19 percent of Labour voters support it. Supreme Court Judge Robert Reed ruled Tuesday that if a judicial review of the government policy, scheduled for July, finds the flights are illegal, those who already had been sent to Rwanda could be brought back. “Our policy is completely legal, it’s completely moral.” It was unclear how many people would be on the 200-seater flight Tuesday night to the east African country.

Refugees and activists from Rwanda and the DRC say the deal could have serious implications for the wider region.

“The partnership agreement between the UK and Rwanda is an insult to the Rwandan people,” she said. “My father is a political prisoner in Rwanda because he criticised a ruthless dictatorship with the same president for 28 years,” Kanimba told Al Jazeera. “Our work has been about showing the international community what is truly happening in Rwanda. These are conditions that lead to political prisoners, arbitrary killings and silencing of journalists and critics. The current UK deal is one that ties into that increasing culture of impunity, analysts say. Despite the presence of more than 16,000 UN peacekeepers, these groups continue to inflict horror on communities and control territory in some areas. According to the New York-based think tank Council on Foreign Relations, some of these refugees were génocidaires of Hutu ethnicity including members of the infamous Interahamwe group.

The fearful political discourse that dominates in the West comes as climate change is creating more displacement and when rich, aging nations are even more in need of younger workers to prop up tax systems. Watermelon, or subak, has become a byword for duplicity with its contrasting appearance on the outside and inside. A critical first step in this regard is to restore hope, either by protecting people from military aggression or by giving them the means to resist it.” “No matter how you feel about refugees and migration and all of this: It’s a huge amount of money that is being spent. But it’s not just the British government that seeks to keep asylum-seekers out of sight and out of mind. As Muhammad Idrees Ahmad argued in Foreign Policy in March, one way the West could help is by giving persecuted populations the means to defend themselves. As much as Ukrainian refugees are enjoying a warm welcome today, it might not last Ahmad argued. A key inspiration for the U.K. policy was Australia, where thousands of asylum-seekers have for years been held in island camps in the South Pacific. In the United States, migrants are kept in Mexico—or turned away entirely on spurious health grounds. Across the Western world, politicians have gone to great lengths, and spent billions of dollars, to make sure those seeking asylum—a right under international law—don’t get it on their soil. A new U.N. human rights chief. “We believe that this is all wrong … for so many different reasons,” U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi told reporters ahead of the flight. “We can provide people with work visas, where there are legitimate reasons to do that.

People who had their appeal rejected at the Court of Appeal on Monday were able to ask the Supreme Court for a review today - one of these was rejected.

Four other people were starting their appeals today at the High Court, and could go to the Court of Appeal if they fail. Lawyers discussed in court how claimants could appeal the rulings if they were deported. Labour's shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell told Sky News: "We think this policy is unworkable...

The first flight of asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda is due to leave on Tuesday evening.

Although the deal involves a £120 million (€138 million) payment from the UK to an "economic transformation and integration fund", ministers have not revealed how much the scheme will cost. At least 44 people, including three children, are known to have died or disappeared while attempting to make the crossing last year. The cost of sending these people to Rwanda and their living expenses while there will be covered by the UK government, or the UK taxpayer to be precise. The policy will see the UK transfer migrants to Rwanda as part of a five-year deal between the two countries, with an option to renew the scheme one year from its end date. The UK government is hoping the new policy to clamp down on refugees coming by boat will act as a deterrent, reducing the number of people turning to people smugglers to make the dangerous journey across the Channel. The new policy aims to reduce the number of people crossing the Channel to the south coast of England from mainland Europe.

The Guardian is hosting a discussion on this topic on Thursday this week. Downing Street has defended the appointment of David Buttress as the government’s new cost of living tsar despite Buttress saying in January that Boris Johnson should resign. Speaking during first minister’s questions in the Welsh parliament, Adam Price, the Plaid leader, said: Join Annie Kelly, the Guardian’s human rights journalist, as she chairs a panel of speakers that includes public law director for Duncan Lewis Solicitors, Toufique Hossain; Zahra Joya, the founder and editor-in-chief of Rukhshana Media; and Shabia Mantoo, a global spokesperson for the UN Refugee Agency. A member the armed services, who asked not to be named, said it was a “shameful” day for the country he served. He said the group comprised: three Iranians, two Iraqi Kurds, one Albanian and one person from Vietnam. Buttress has also criticised Johnson and the Tories more widely, as well as arguing that the Rwanda deportation policy lacks common decency. No one should be deported under such racist and discriminatory policies. One activist said: “No one should be on this flight. As a country we’re better than this, or used to be. “It’s a cruel policy. “We’ve got to stop people coming over from France in those little boats and we’ve got to stop the people smugglers.”

Survivors of torture and trafficking must be able to present their case in a fair and lawful way. That simply isn't happening, says Kerry Smith, ...

We will not give up: we will prepare for the final hearing of our case by gathering evidence of how this unfair system is operating in practice and supporting individuals at risk. Those given a one-way ticket to Rwanda by the Home Office only have seven days to find legal representation and gather the evidence to respond. However, the stark reality is that it is very difficult to access good legal representation and there is not the capacity in our sector to both find and prioritise those potentially earmarked for removal to Rwanda on an ongoing basis. Once removal instructions are issued, they only have a further five days to appeal to the courts. However, we are confident in our view that the way the Rwanda scheme is being implemented is unlawful and unfair. Yesterday, my organisation lost its bid to have an urgent injunction put in place to prevent any flights to Rwanda carrying refugees from leaving the UK, until after a full hearing on whether the policy is lawful next month.

According to the Times, the future king made the remarks ahead of the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Kigali next week, where he will be deputising for his mother.

Migrants will also be given a monthly allowance of 100,000RWF a month (roughly €105) to help pay for essentials. The support package – including healthcare, food and accommodation as well as the monthly allowance – will continue to be provided until the person in question is able to support themselves. While their immigration status is determined, migrants will take part in an “orientation” programme to help them adjust to their new life in Rwanda – if they choose to stay – with information about the country such as the weather and geography as well as a tour of the area. Anyone without an asylum claim, or one that is rejected, will then be considered under wider immigration rules with a view to provide a right to residency and to work.

Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, said: “We’re pleased the courts have ruled to stop this flight.

In today's newsletter: Boris Johnson said 'tens of thousands' would be sent to Rwanda. Last night the number on the first flight was reduced to zero.

Amid the noise around “cancel culture” and the “dangers of wokery”, it’s pleasing to see how a celebrity can go about making swift amends for a wrong – and have it welcomed by critics. The front page of the Financial Times says “Coinbase to cut almost a fifth of staff as crypto crunch worsens”. undermining everything that we are trying to do”. The reality appears to be a predictable set of legal challenges which the government is likely to have been advised would succeed. While it has been reported that the vast majority of the appeals are under article 8 of the Human Rights Act, the “right to family life”, Diane says: “We don’t know about every case, because we can’t attend them. The Times reports that the Home Office’s own modelling suggests that the true number likely to be eligible for resettlement in Rwanda in a year would be about 300. Dominic Raab walks back Johnson’s initial “tens of thousands” figure, saying he wants to “manage expectations” around the policy. The value of the homes at risk is in the tens of billions of pounds. But Diane has spoken to refugees who describe “50 people in a room, and a few being picked off by officials – you go left, you go right. Sturgeon said she had a mandate to do so as she released a new report making the case for independence. Before the headlines, a quick note to say that tomorrow Nimo and I will be hosting First Edition Live, discussing the most pressing issues and top stories with experts – starting with the future of the Conservative party. Today’s newsletter, with the Guardian’s Diane Taylor, is the anatomy of a policy that started with a very big number, and has now – at least for the moment – vanished into thin air. And then, to the jubilation of campaigners and lawyers who had been working to keep the flight from leaving, their ticket was cancelled too.

UK home secretary says preparation for next flight 'begins now' after aircraft failed to take off following European court ruling.

“These repeated legal barriers are similar to those we experience with other removals flights and many of those removed from this flight will be placed on the next. “This will help break the people smugglers’ business model and prevent loss of life, while ensuring protection for the genuinely vulnerable. Ms Patel described the European Court of Human Rights intervention as “very surprising”, adding “many of those removed from this flight will be placed on the next”.

In a dramatic military escalation, Kinshasa accuses Rwanda of backing a rebel group and seizing a border town.

He said he had been kidnapped and abused by human traffickers on his route to the U.K. Conflict minerals in the region have played a major role in the strife. No one will be relocated if it is unsafe or inappropriate for them.” They will be given accommodation while they wait, and if accepted will be allowed to remain for five years, after which they can apply again. Rwanda repeatedly denies both accusations linking it to the M23 rebels and that it sends troops into its neighbor’s territory, but international pressure is growing. Rwanda is a safe and secure country. There is no path to return to the U.K. Britain is paying Rwanda £120 million (€138 million) to act as its partner in its new migration policy, and the main defense of the scheme from the ruling Tory Party is that it will kill the trade of profiteering people smugglers, who charge refugees a fortune to risk a perilous Channel crossing to the U.K. in a small boat. He said it was “generous” of the Rwandans to agree to take in refugees from the U.K., but blasted the British government for going ahead with a plan he insisted would not prevent people-smuggling and would end up being expensive for British taxpayers. “While it would be legitimate for Rwanda to respond to the repetitive attacks … on our territory, Rwanda is not involved in the ongoing fighting in eastern DRC and has no intention of being drawn into an internal matter of the DRC. Rwanda wants to collaborate with neighboring countries for a sustainable solution to insecurity in our region,” she said. Denis Mukwege, a gynecologist who won a Nobel prize for his work combating sexual violence in conflict zones, said an increasing number of victims were heading to his clinic in eastern Congo and pointed the finger squarely at Kigali. “Rwanda is hoping that everyone will look at the Ukraine war and that it will be left alone here,” he told POLITICO at the Panzi hospital in Bukavu. The U.K. prime minister will soon also have to grapple with the fallout of a dramatically escalating regional conflict that Rwanda is accused of stoking in the east of neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Thérèse Coffey says she is sure government will go back to European court of human rights over decision.

He was then served with removal directions to Rwanda for 14 June. A letter from the court said the asylum seeker should not be removed on Tuesday evening. He claimed asylum in the UK last month, citing danger to his life. Coffey backed up Patel’s claim on Tuesday night that the UK was preparing for another flight of asylum seekers. The UK justifies the policy on the grounds that it is meant to deter people seeking asylum from making a dangerous crossing across the Channel by small boat. David Lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, told Sky News: “Look, this is a mess that Priti Patel created. However, two government ministers appeared to reject the idea of withdrawing from the convention on Wednesday morning.

But Madam Deputy Speaker, as you referred to in the earlier point of order, on this side of the House, such accusations are a grotesque slur. And between 80 to 100 million people are now displaced and others are on the move seeking better economic opportunities. We are a generous and welcoming country, as has been shown time and time again. Madam Deputy Speaker, the case for our partnership with Rwanda bears repeating. Meanwhile, this government wants to get on with delivering not just what the British people want but reforming our systems so yes, they are firm but equally Madam Deputy Speaker, so they are fair to those who pay for them and fair to those who need our help and support. Our domestic courts were of the view that the flight could go ahead. Now Madam Deputy Speaker, I have always said that I will look at all proposals to reduce illegal migration and illegal entry into our country, and even those that the opposite benches might prepare to put forward, but we still wait for them. But of course, I’m afraid Madam Deputy Speaker, that the usual suspects have set out to thwart and even campaign against these efforts and with that, Madam Deputy Speaker, the will of the British people. The global asylum system is broken. But Madam Deputy Speaker, we simply have to focus our support on those who most need it the most. And this Partnership sends a clear message that illegal entry will not be tolerated Madam Deputy Speaker while offering a practical, humane way forward for those who arrive to the UK by illegal routes. Now Madam Deputy Speaker, I welcomed the decisions of our domestic courts, the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court, to uphold our right to send the flight.
