Rwanda refugees warn UK government - ‘our country is not safe’

But we can reveal that the Home Office has been granting protection to those who have fled the country.

We’ve spoken exclusively to Rwandans, some of whom have been given asylum since the bill was introduced - the Home Office accepting their claim to have a well-founded fear of persecution.

One activist told us you are only safe if you stay silent.

Its not just in Rwanda and Russia you have to be quiet to be safe, in Britain today you can be financially and socially destroyed for your opinions.

Rwanda is in good hand with kagame cause the man build the nation from scratch ! Let’s not forget the 1994 genocide and the French collaboration with the genocidal Rwanda government at that time.
We need more heroes like Kagame in Africa, god bless Rwanda 🇷🇼 from Somalia. 🇸🇴

In Rwanda we sleep well knowing tomorrow will be more beautiful than yesterday❤️

Over £200 million to Rwanda has been funding the civil war.

Im kenyan but when in rwanda im quiet...that is how scary it is.

[Szanox]

they don't want to go back to their country, but they have no problem going there for holidays

£200 million to Rwanda? I bet someone has a healthy Swiss bank account balance.

What I find astonishing about our beloved government is that just when you think they can't get worse they proceed to do so. And we keep voting for them, apparently? When you realise that the Prime Minister's wife's money could actually run the NHS for a month, and yet we have two young men sleeping rough outside our church (in the rain, as we discovered after the event), we have a steady stream of young families coming into the church living in 'temporary' accomodation, and thus unable to get their children into school…
I could carry on, but this gruesome bunch need to go, and soon.

You realise that you've created a catch 22, where people fleeing from repression to the UK aren't safe here because you've let in people "fleeing from repression"

[TetaTeta-qf]

I, m Rwanda we are safe and we are peaceful country

[allolimete]

He might want to inform the UN who are still sending Afghan schoolgirls there for a "safe" education. He should also inform the Labour candidate who has criticised the policy whilst organising school trips to Rwanda for UK schoolkids.

Cherry picking what information in report on channel 4 news tut tut

[labouraredangerous]

And they're making the uk unsafe too

[gdfggggg]

Russia wouldn’t be classed as an unsafe country.

[HiggiroFred]

UK is supporting kagame to keep causing carnages in east africa especially in eastern Cong

[patrickkasongo]

The money intends to facilitate massacres in DRC, no Tutsi among people being killed or fleeing or in refugee camps.

Rwanda is one of the safest countries because of rule of law. I have lived in a few countries, and I can tell you that there is no partiality here, especially for the leaders here. You should only be afraid of breaking the law because it is applied here. This is sincerely one of the most beautiful places on the face of this planet, and I am not Rwandan, I was a refugee here and I am privileged to call this place my home away from home. The "fear" people say they feel is because we foreigners have to be sensitive and respectful of the people of Rwanda, their history and how they choose to govern their nation. The people interviewed in this video have not anything for this country, but they have alot of things they want to "improve" Rwanda. I would not take this video seriously, take it from someone who has nothing to gain or lose from this. Come to Rwanda, or not.

Rwanda IS a safe country, who are Channel 4 infantilising?. Why would a Afghan, Iraqi, Eritrean or Iranian “refugee” be at risk in Rwanda, they’re not that important. Are these “refugees” all Paul Kagame’s fierce political rivals, clearly not. Rwanda may not be safe for Kagame’s political rivals but it is certainly safe for refugees, as the UNHCR itself chose to relocate many refugees stranded in Libya to Rwanda.

shame on this man he is selling his own state & people

[mattadams]

Aren't Rwanda funding a fued in the congo with the money uk sends them
