UK,Rwanda Scheme,Asylum Processing

Leaked documents suggest that the UK is considering replicating the Rwanda scheme with countries like Armenia, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica, and Botswana for third-country asylum processing. Negotiations with these countries have been ongoing, but progress has stalled. Other countries like Paraguay, Peru, Brazil, and Ecuador have also been considered, but have shown less interest. Cape Verde, Senegal, Tanzania, and Sierra Leone are on a reserve list, while Morocco, Tunisia, and Namibia have declined to enter negotiations.

Rishi Sunak wants to replicate the Rwanda scheme with Armenia , Ivory Coast , Costa Rica and Botswana being targeted as possible destinations for migrants, leaked documents suggest. All four countries have been in negotiations with the UK to discuss what is described as "third-country asylum processing deal", The Times reports. However, as the original Rwanda scheme struggles to get off the ground, progress has reportedly stalled with the nations.

It comes after a Cabinet minister insisted flights to Rwanda could take off “within weeks” - despite the Government seemingly having no airline willing to take migrants to the African nation.
