Overview

• Germany's ambassador to the UK confirmed there is no plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.
• The proposal to use Rwanda for asylum processing was suggested by Germany's migration commissioner, Joachim Stamp.
• Stamp's proposal targets migrants entering the EU from Belarus and Russia, citing 'hybrid warfare' by these countries.
• The UK previously spent £700 million on the now-abandoned Rwanda scheme, which was scrapped by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
• Criticism and political pressure in Germany follow a fatal attack linked to a Syrian asylum seeker and recent far-right electoral gains.
