Botswana rejected Britain’s request for an anti-immigration deal

International Group Report Tasnim news agency According to the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” newspaper, the country of Botswana rejected the conclusion of an anti-immigration agreement similar to Rwanda with England. This arrangement of the South African country has opposed the refugee deportation agreement with Britain.

A few days ago, the British Parliament approved the controversial plan to deport refugees who come to England by boat to Rwanda in East Africa. Botswana, another African country with which conservatives under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wanted to reach such an agreement to expel refugees, has now rejected the offer. Recently, after this decision, the British Parliament told South Africa’s Newsroom television channel: “We have enough problems to deal with ourselves.” In such circumstances, it would be “unfair” to bring unwanted migrants from another country to Botswana, said Kwap. Relatively wealthy and sparsely populated, Botswana, with a population of just 2.5 million people, lives in an area about the size of France and, among other things, attracts migrants from the crisis-stricken neighboring state of Zimbabwe.

The Associated Press reported that British Govt. Recently, it has been negotiating with five countries to conclude an agreement on the expulsion of refugees: Rwanda, Botswana, Ivory Coast, Armenia and Costa Rica are among these countries. The British newspaper “Independent” has now reported that at least in Armenia, people are skeptical about this issue. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of this country in Yerevan also told this newspaper that so far “fundamental discussion” has not been held with London on this issue.

While human rights organizations are strongly opposed to the British-Rwandan agreement. They criticize, there are also criticisms of this issue in the East African government.

Frank Habinza, the head of the leading green opposition party in this country, has repeatedly pointed out that human rights must be protected. On Thursday, he told Turkey’s Anadolu news agency: Rich countries like Britain should fulfill their international obligations and welcome refugees and not take them to third countries. The British Parliament on Tuesday night despite criticism and opposition Passed a law in which Rwanda was introduced as a safe third country. The law allows the Conservative government in London to deport asylum seekers who have entered the East African country irregularly. They must apply for asylum there.

Human rights activists consider this law a violation of international obligations. The Irish government also strongly criticized this project.

Representatives of the German parliament had also condemned the anti-immigration measures of the British government. In a letter to British Prime Minister Sonak, 13 politicians from the Social Democratic Party, the Greens and the Christian United Party Union were particularly angry and concerned about the British government’s statement that it “no longer wants to respect the interim orders of the European Court of Human Rights.” /p>

With this new law from the Rishi Sunak government, the British Prime Minister no longer wants to give irregular arrivals the chance to apply for asylum in the UK, instead, they must can be deported to Rwanda and apply for asylum there, and regardless of their true origin, there is no plan to return them to the UK.

The purpose of these regulations is to prevent refugees from crossing the English Channel by boat. The UK government is paying millions of dollars to Rwanda. The UK High Court has declared the refugee deal illegal. The East African country is accused of violating human rights The new law aims to overturn the High Court ruling by declaring Rwanda a safe third country and preventing appeals in UK courts against deportation. The Refugee Council, which campaigns for refugees in the country, criticized the plan and warned of high costs, chaos and human suffering. This organization said that the government in this way creates the risk of tens of thousands of people being trapped in this system. They imported it and accused this country of violating human rights. Rwanda’s anti-immigration law
