Rwanda To Take 10,000 Asylum Seekers From Israel (pictures) by AbiolaFawole(m): 9:08am On Nov 24, 2017 |
Rwandan Foreign Affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said
on Thursday that Rwanda is ready to accept around 10,000
asylum seekers, or "a bit more," who are currently living in
Israel.
"We have had discussions with Israel on receiving some of
the immigrants and asylum seekers from this part of Africa
who would be willing to come to Rwanda," the minister said
in an interview with Rwandan English newspaper the New
Times. "If they are comfortable to come here, we would be
willing to accommodate them. How it’s done and their
livelihoods once they are here are details that have not been
concluded yet,” the minister said.
The negotiations include how to secure the welfare of around
10,000 refugees, including livelihood, accommodations, and
general wellbeing, she said. Though Israel said they will continue to
pay $3,500 dollars and finance the flight tickets of asylum
seekers who voluntarily leave the country.
“I think what we are looking for is for any migrant coming to
settle here to have the minimum basics to have housing, to
be able to stay in the country long enough while finding a job
or setting up a business. We expect everyone to have a
minimum of shelter."
"We do not envision people to come here and stay in camps.
We envision giving them a normal life,” she said.
In the same meeting, Mushikiwabo said Rwanda is
considering taking in 30,000 African immigrants from
Libya. “We have a very progressive and open policy when it
comes to people living and settling in this country. Nobody
should feel like they have no country to live in, especially
those who are close to us,” she told the New Times.
Israel approved a plan earlier this month to close the Holot
detention center in 4 months and to send refugees either to
Rwanda or Jail.
In 2014, Haaretz reported that asylum seekers who agreed to
a 'voluntary departure' to Rwanda arrived in the country
with no status, no permits, and no path to livelihood. Some
were directed from Rwanda to Uganda with no warning and
no infrastructure in place.
As reported by Haaretz, the Population and Immigration
Authority is expected to launch an expulsion operation in the
coming weeks directed at asylum seekers in Israel from
Eritrea and Sudan. Many of them are expected to receive
notices demanding that they leave the country or face
incarceration for an unlimited amount of time.
It remains undecided who will be the first recipients of the
notices, but women, children and victims of human
trafficking are to be excluded from the expulsion drive as will
individuals who have sought asylum in Israel and have not
yet received a response. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.824660

Rwanda wants to murder the little Peace they enjoy in their country. Countries in Europe that took migrants are feeling the pain pangs . Accept them and invite trouble into your home |

Tocheagle: Do not believe everything you hear on the news.Arabs and Muslims have been seeking Asylum since colonial era in Europe. Europe favours Syrian and Eritrean Asylum seekers. Rwanda is taking back their African brothers from Sudan,Eritreans and other Africans.They are willing to take 30,000 Africans from Libya also. |
