The UK High Commissioner to Rwanda in 2021 warned that the country “has been accused of recruiting refugees to carry out armed operations in neighboring countries”.

Charities and asylum seekers are currently involved in legal action with the UK government over the scheme. On Wednesday, Lord Justice Lewis ruled that four passages of advice from the FCDO to the Home Office on the plan could be withheld from the public, as well as certain words elsewhere in the document. The government sought to keep 10 passages completely secret. A full hearing is scheduled to be held next month on whether or not the plan is legal.
