Germany Considers Using UK-Funded Rwanda Facilities for Migrant Processing
German proposal to utilize British-built asylum centers in Rwanda highlights shifting European migration policies.
- German migration commissioner Joachim Stamp suggests using UK-funded facilities in Rwanda for processing asylum seekers.
- The proposal targets migrants crossing the EU's eastern borders, aiming to deter 'hybrid warfare' tactics by Russia and Belarus.
- The UK had scrapped its Rwanda plan, but facilities in Kigali remain unused despite significant investment.
- Germany's coalition government is divided on the proposal, with some officials denying any plans for deportation.
- The debate comes amid rising anti-immigration sentiment and electoral gains by far-right parties in Germany.
