Boris Johnson criticized Labour for their "left-wing spite" in light of a US agreement to send migrants to Rwanda, a scheme Labour scrapped. The deal, which could involve up to 250 migrants, utilizes facilities financed by British taxpayers in Kigali. Former Conservative Home Secretary Sir James Cleverly accused Labour of mismanagement, stating that their actions allowed human traffickers to operate. Rwandan officials emphasized their commitment to care for the migrants, offering training and support to integrate them into their economy. Johnson claims the US decision reflects British initiatives previously established.
Rwanda has agreed with the United States to accept up to 250 migrants, in part because nearly every Rwandan family has experienced the hardships of displacement and our societal values are founded on reintegration and rehabilitation.
Johnson said that Donald Trump sending migrants to the African country shows 'yet again' the 'ideas pioneered by Britain.'
Labour wasted our money and the USA is making use of it. This was always likely to happen. Labour scrapped the scheme that we had paid for.
Under the agreement, Rwanda has the ability to approve each individual proposed for resettlement, and those approved will be provided with workforce training, healthcare and accommodation support.
