A Look into Rwanda’s Migration Deal with Libya
The United Kingdom's controversial legislation to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda has passed, after two years of delays. However, this deal is not the first migration deal Rwanda has signed in order to receive migrants from other countries. In 2019, Rwanda signed a deal with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the African Union (AU) in order to receive refugees and asylum seekers being held in detention centres in Libya, as well as those who were at risk in the country.
