As Part of an Agreement with Washington, the First Deportees Arrive in Rwanda

Each case was examined in accordance with the bilateral agreement, which enables Kigali to examine and authorize migrants prior to providing entrance, a government spokeswoman continued. Yolande Makolo stated on Thursday that the deportees have been “accommodated by an international organization,” but no details regarding their identities were disclosed.

Additionally, representatives of Rwanda’s social services and the International Organization for Migration are paying them a visit. According to Makolo, four of the deportees want to stay and start new lives in Rwanda, while three of them express a desire to go back to their home countries.

Kigali announced earlier in August that it will allow up to 250 individuals to be deported from the US as part of President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant policies.

Four African nations have deportation arrangements with Washington, including Rwanda. South Sudan, Uganda, and Eswatini are the others.

According to human rights experts, the deportations may violate international law by transferring individuals to nations where they run the risk of being tortured, kidnapped, or subjected to other abuses.
