Rwanda Sells Homes Earmarked for UK Migrants Amid Flight Delays

The sale of homes intended for migrants deported from the UK to locals in Rwanda raises concerns over the future of the deportation scheme.

Properties on a new housing estate in Rwanda, designated for migrants deported from the UK, have been sold to locals due to delays in deportation flights.
Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman expressed disappointment over the sale, citing a reduction in available housing for migrants.
The Rwandan government disputes the reported figures but acknowledges the sale, emphasizing integration of migrants into communities rather than isolation.
The UK government faces challenges in advancing its Rwanda Bill through Parliament, aimed at resuming deportation flights grounded since June 2022.
Rwanda and the UK remain committed to the deportation partnership, with provisions for accommodating migrants despite the sale of some properties.
