Tory ministers told to come clean over threat of war in Rwanda after UN warning | Mirror Online
Did she know? When Priti Patel was Home Secretary, she announced a partnership between the UK and Rwanda that would allow us to send asylum-seekers arriving in the UK to that other country. Was she aware that tensions with its neighbour might make Rwanda unsafe, and did she hide it?
This is the country our Tory leaders are telling us is perfectly safe for asylum-seekers, many or all of whom are fleeing violence in their own land?
Clearly it isn’t true. We need to know why the Tories have been lying to us about Rwanda and what they are trying to get out of their grubby deal with the government there.
Ministers must come clean about the threat of war in Rwanda, campaigners have warned.
The Foreign Office has repeatedly refused to release its assessments about tensions between the African nation and its neighbour, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It comes after the US told the two countries they must “must walk back from the brink of war” last month.
The Government’s silence has been branded “unacceptable” as Rishi Sunak tries to push through legislation declaring Rwanda a safe country. In recent weeks the US State Department has voiced its alarm over escalating violence in the DRC, while Rwanda told the UN Security Council its neighbour is trying to “cause regime change in Rwanda using force”.
