Denmark-Rwanda deal: deporting people, outsourcing & offshoring asylum

In September 2022, Denmark and Rwanda signed an agreement on the possible transfer of asylum seekers to the East African country. The prospective ‘transfer-system’ resembles the one announced by the UK in April. About 1,000 people may be deported yearly to a country thousands of kilometres away where refugees are killed and forcibly recruited by militias. After fleeing their countries, crossing borders, and risking their lives to reach a safe place, people are pushed back into a state of imminent danger. Learn more about the prospective Denmark-Rwanda deal, as well as its possible implications, in this article.
