Recorded in: Rwanda: New UK-Rwanda Migration Treaty to 'Reemphasise' Initial Plan Allafrica (22November, 2023)
“What we did object to is rather being portrayed as unsafe. Rwanda is a safe country in terms of refoulement, meaning sending asylum seekers back to the countries where they're persecuted. Rwanda does not do that. And this provision is included in the MoU."In order to address that concern, we will reemphasise it in the treaty that we're working on. So, that issue of being a safe country where asylum seekers will not be sent back is already being addressed and will be in the binding treaty.”

“These have to be talked about as well. I'm talking specifically about the proliferation of hate speech that is followed by attacks on people.
