Other refugees say they believe those sent over by the UK will have no trouble building a life for themselves in Rwanda.

At least they are trying and no country can do more than that.
Actually, as a British citizen, I kind of want to go and live there myself. Unfortunately, my passport expired 1 year ago, it costs over £80 and probably 3 months to get a new one. I actually fancy a free flight and resettlement in Rwanda myself, so am seriously considering rocking up on a dingy near Dover!
Good for you mate have fun
@@Emperor-Inker I just checked the GDP per capita for Rwanda; not pretty, 40x less than the UK's! I think I will remain here for a while, save 10% of my income, and then make the move via dingy!
@@gregmoore167 your pension will probably never run out .I think Rwanda is better off without the criminals arriving on your shores.
I think a lot of people fed up with life here would like to give it a go. It looks very tempting.
I lived n Rwanda and I’d go back anytime! One of the most beautiful, safest and friendly places I’ve ever been to and I travelled the world- Love Rwanda and it’s people♥🙏✨👌
@tory teen Hi, yes usually people who never actually went anywhere:) There are many people from all over the world in Kigali- Its actually a really nice place and Id rather walk around Kigali at night than many western capitals. Visiting Rwanda was one of the best experiences in my life and really changed my perspective
@tory teen Have you heard what the left say about council estates in this country ? the places they apparently represent and support lol but im told its the other side who hates us and looks down on us ...
😍😍🙌🏽
There's a difference between living and going on holiday there. The people are nice everywhere when you just there for couple of weeks.
Well we should all move there and leave this shthole for the sandys
Rwanda going to taste some of that peaceful religion real soon.
Kagame will manage very well. he has no problems keeping people in line.
& what about the peace the west has introduced to the world. It's not like 2 world wars came from European-centric societies & the several wars in the middle East & north Africa over the last 4 decades.
But People from the middle East or Muslims are the issue. I'm a Christian speaking so I don't care too much about other religions but let's not, as we live in a hypocritical society in the west & the UK. 🤷🏿♂️
Yup!
Sadly, we'll all get a piece of that peaceful religion eventually. 😅
Muslim are all over Africa stop this nonsense Islam in Africa is 60%
Rwanda is at least trying to change, and it does look like the country is moving in the right direction. You can't expect a country to change overnight but it does have to start somewhere.
Yes - maybe the UK could try to change too - starting to value its history, culture and achievements would be a good place
Seems way above average when it comes to most African nations!
@@MVUK358 Yep, better than a country whose politics sounds like 1930's Germany eh Lineker . .
Rwanda’s success is to be commended. I wished the country and its people all the best. Let us hope it can become the Switzerland of Africa.
By all accounts Rwanda is a major player in the multiple party conflicts in DR Congo. "There are none as blind as will not see."
@@christopherhunt9078 Maybe true but look at what the US is doing in the Ukraine, Iran in Yemen, China in Burma, etc., etc., etc. Many countries are involved in the plunder of the Congo so liberal White people can enjoy their smart phones and electric cars. France and China played their part in the Rwandan genocide and Bill Clinton did a Pontius Pilate. There are not many clean hands out there! Still wish the people of Rwanda all the best.
Well, actually the Singapore of Africa! Btw, 3 cheers for Paul. 👍😎
I've had enough of this country how can we go to Rwanda please
I hear ya!
Me too 👍
Have you got a DINGHY 👍
@@padiedo7213 no😄😄😄
Simple. Denouce any application for residence. State you are clearly illegal and wish to take part in relocation.. But i have the idea you are meerly posturing .
Trouble is these people want to work hard to make it work, the young men who come here don't, they think we owe them a living
We should give the Rwandan people credit for what they have achieved.
I think it would make a great holiday destination. Arsenal advertise it, but their ‘celebrity’ fan Starmer keeps turning his nose up at it!😂
Rwanda deal is for 200 people only, and it’s an exchange deal, 1 out, 1 in. GBNews is LYING to you! It’s also cost £120 million minimum, more of your money laundered
Visit now before it becomes Islamic
LBC channel & James O brian take note
O'Boring thinks its a Nazi slave camp. 🤦🏻♂️🙄
James O'Brien is an absolute double standards hypocrite. A white man saying an improving African country with lots of opportunities for asylum seekers is not good enough, and that only the UK is good enough for them. Asylum seekers that pass through safe EU countries but don't even consider O'Brien's beloved EU good enough to seek refuge in. If it was Brits not wanting to live in the EU he would call them racists. If it was Brits not wanting to make a new life in Rwanda he would call them racists. And yet he thinks the UK is the only country good enough for asylum seekers. Sounds like he thinks the UK is more superior than all the safe EU countries and Rwanda. Absolute double standards hypocrite!
Is it not madness??? How can take someone from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and send to Rwanda?? Is not obvious that this people want to destroy this beautiful country. If all this so call Asylum seekers are send to Rwanda then very soon there will be no peace there anymore
The Rwanda deal is a scam, for every One we send there, Rwanda send's One of their "Vulnerable" refugees here (It's basically an exchange program).
The idea is the threat of being sent to Rwanda will stop a lot of the illegals paying to come to Britain. Not saying it will work but the intention is that the dinghies will stop or the numbers drastically reduce so not that many will need to be sent to Rwanda anyway.
It happened in Manchuria under Stalin, and in Tibet under China. The elite call it "importing migrants" to dilute the gene pool and break down culture.
yep its all a scam they want them here end of
It sure is I have to live with them around me, the young, old, disabled, and mentaly impaired. all have been brought in to add to the burden on this country
But it disrupts the people smugglers, and that is core benefit. The same situation as Australia, and it worked fine. The exchange actually does not occur, except to a small degree.
If they get there they will have to work, not spung off the tax payers.
This has to happen ...the West can not sustain mass immigration which gives a good quality of life for everyone ...these countries like Rwanda can provide future prosperity for its citizens ...
This GB reporter should be commended for a fair delivery. So refreshing to hear a journalist deliver a report without knowing whether they are for or against the plan.
Take your rose tinted specs off - not one challenging question asked. GB news doesn't pretend to be impartial - but this is shameless one-sided reporting.
Apparently someone should tell James O'Brien this another champagne socialist.
I heard somewhere that asylum seekers cannot pick & choose which country they are allowed to settle in. If they come to Britain & claim asylum we have a duty to keep them safe, not send them back to their own country if it is dangerous & not move them on to any other country which is dangerous. If we send them to Rwanda & its safe thats job done for Britain.
They should be turned away in English waters by our Navy long before any of this happens. You want to come here? Apply from your own country.
They shouldn't have been allowed in so many countries they passed so No they must build their lives in Rwanda 🤬😡🤬
Why come to UK in the first place. Why not go to countries nearby to their own country. How do you know that they are genuine asylum seekers 🤔.
Looks nice. The boat people are lucky.
That's what I can't fathom, the threat of sending those souls to Rwanda is suppose to be a deterant from crossing the channel?.By making Rwanda look so appealing, might have opposite effect.
Do the same in an Arab country so people In the middle east can stay closer to home and still have their culture and traditions without the personal endangerment. Sounds like a win for all.
It looks like a really nice place and not Islamic. Can British people emigrate there?
You missed a memo.
There are plenty.
How's sending asylum seeker to this country hurting these ppl, it's helping them stay within a culture there know,
If ppl are fleaing War & persecution then I'd say unless your coming to UK for all the wrong reasons then why would this be a bad idea to settle we're your been offered a safe, clean home.
Ethiopia is another up and coming country. These are the future 1st world countries. UK will be a 3rd world because it has enabled those that come to take and use the country. That's what you get when you do not vet those that land on your shores.
Rwanda looks better than living in Ireland.
VOTE REFORM UK
Looks nice, perfect for asylum seekers who are in the UK 🇬🇧 be like a 18- 30 holiday for young men occupying our hotels,sunny🌞,all inclusive absolutely perfect.
Sun?
It should be enforced when you reach safe country you are supposed to stay there .
Boris for PM!
Well a thousand times better than PNG and Nauru, where Australia sent its refugees.
@ds Seeing as how they didn't have to ''flee'' they could always have stayed where they were . Far away from the ''racist''white folk.
I am a British citizen can I emigrate there???
Only 5% Muslim 45% Christian. I think if the migrants do not want to go, they should open the opportunity up for Brits, a sort of £10 Pom deal.
😄👍
Correction it's 90 or 95% Christian
@@jfk787 I didn't include Catholic, I googled protestant. Since Sad Dick Khan has decided to light up Oxford Street for Rama(damn), I am not prepared to live in UKISTAN for much longer. 2024 GE is my deadline.
Looks good
Rwanda is perfect because kagame know how to keep people in line lol you mess up their you go missing probably why the uk picked them dictator but also friendly dictator
😂
This article is entirely contrary to what has happened. Israel sent some 4,000 migrants to Rwanda. Supposedly with the support of the UNHCR. That was not forthcoming. The were abandoned by the UNHCR. Most of the asylum seekers left Rwanda for Uganda. At least one was shot dead, in North Africa, apparently while trying to return to Europe.
Israel sent about 4,000 asylum seekers to Rwanda. Almost every one of them left.
The Israel Supreme Court declared the policy of transfer contrary to the Israeli Constitution.
Israel ceased sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Lies
As you said yourself the UNHCR abandoned them, and the Israeli gave them only 5000$ and told them to fuck off, I agree that the deal the Rwandan Gov't signed wasn't thought through well and I think they hadn't done any Feasibility study to see if it will work. Moreover it was agreed upon that Israel in partnership with UNHCR was to fund that program for which they didn't do, then they come back and accuse Rwanda of not treating them right!! Comeon for me that's lack of accountability, if they had done their job well maybe it could have worked. And Rwanda now has much more experience in those kind of partnerships in 2019 it signed one with UNHCR to harbor refugees which were held in Libya and being mistreated and so far it's been excellent. So I think if the UK does as agreed upon in the agreement the partnership has high odds of being successful.
This is quite interesting. Someone tell me the name of the restaurant. I would like to visit
Looks safer then Manchester
But we get there's.. this isn't a resolution.
The trouble with all the doubters in the uk shout their I’ll informed opinions when they no zero about the situation,perhaps they should go there and then I would believe the nonsense they keep spouting.They in my opinion our the racist against the Rwanda people,shame on them.
send them all to Rwanda
Taking notes Brits? I don’t think it will make my short list but doubt it will be long before my family and many others are fleeing Britain
Looks a Lovely place..
I’ll go just for the croissant.
Hold on a minute this couple could afford to travel around and then setup a coffee shop, not the best example one a planning consultant the other a dentist
The pair tried living in Kenya, Jordan, Malaysia and Chad, but said they came up against difficulties in setting up a home and satisfying immigration requirements.
What part of all that you couldn't understand ?
2:57 And they also brew
Heineken Smeineken! What more could you ask for!?
I guess some will say that the interview was staged
No need to stage anything. Eritrea's one of the worst countries on the planet. Of course he'd prefer Rwanda.
It's exchange one for another, no difference.
The weather is good, better than shivering in the UK and being punished with a pre-payment meter.
looks decent enough to me no litter or nothing all trimmed and tidy grass, why would you say no to rwanda
I bet. There's a reason why Eritrea is called "the North Korea of Africa".
Eritreans are a morally reprehensible people compared to North Koreans. North Koreans worship their ruler because they are blind to their lack of freedom due to them being deprived of knowledge of the world. Eritreans worship their tyrannical ruler and are indifferent to their lack of freedom despite being exposed to the democratic world.
Just Weastern Propaganda!
Eritrea is a self-reliant country. Eritrea is the only African country that has said it does not need USAID. This was inconsistent with US policy and they had to blackmail it and ban it.
How much was he paid?
How long did it take to find him?
that only works for the hard working people most here in the uk just want a free ride
It was just a matter of time. GB News doing the bidding of the Tory regime.
Couldn't agree more, only right wing journalists/ news papers invited on visit.
This is just a public relations report on behalf of the Tory Party. Whatever you think - it is never right for a Government to exclude parts of the media that may be critical and ask challenging questions. For the Home Office to exclude The Guardian, Independent and Mirror (among others) and the main TV stations is frankly a shocking trend.
The media that got an all Government paid trip were - Sun political correspondent Jack Elsom, Express senior political correspondent Steph Spyro, Times home affairs editor Matt Dathan, Telegraph home affairs editor Charles Hymas, Daily Mail home affairs editor David Barrett and GB News. I'm not saying that they should take everybody but Governments need to be held to account.
Of course they are happier around their own kind, way it should be
Funny how they are migrants but have the money to have thriving businesses
Being a migrant does not mean being poor. Many have money but have to flee due to war.
The ones who manage to leave and pay £5000 to a people smuggler to travel for months to get to Europe obviously have money... It's not a common thing in African countries, to be in your 20s and already have accumulated £5000 in savings, with their extremely low salaries.. 🤔😜
So it's comparable to the UK?! 😆
It's actually better than UK b'cause of ease patern to success.
If they aren't woke and pro-islam I might be tempted to migrate myself.
Where do you get the 800 thousand figure of the people whose lives perished during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi? Sheme!!!!
He'll be back in the
RWANDA is only small like size of Midlands in UK
Why the want more people there if they cant handling their owne citizens
It looks like their UK is helping RWAND to take a part of brother with Congo where's the war is UK should stop this nonsense people are dying in CONGO 😢
If you ignore the fact that this below is a film about new drone technology, which is amazing enough, just take a look at the video, it is shot in Rwanda and it might just open a few eyes.
Amazing Invention- This Drone Will Change Everything - Mark Rober
I believe these entrepreneurs are on a total different level to the illegals that are arriving in the U.K. by small boats and in the back of lorries. Have they any interest at all in working/starting businesses???
The majority are for drug running and benefits. They left for what they can get, not to start a new life.
It’s nice place but I didn’t see any beautiful girls 😅
Rwanda looks peachy playmate's....but....if and when the country becomes the main purchaser of guns and machetes....as in the early 90s ..then that's a sign of a forth coming readjustment in the population. The US and the UN could have stopped the genocide of the Tutsi tribe and the following genocide of the Hutus. But they looked the other way. Next time ....who knows.
Move all of them there Eritrea empty then it be a great place
Eritreans only runs away from poverty&Hunger so wherever they find Food&get married Its Heaven for them
eritreans are incredible. if they actually had freedom in eritrea they would transform the country into a developed country.
Propaganda propaganda no way he has not had incentive..
Think I might move there, less undesirables by the looks of it
Rwanda definitely one of the safest and cleanest countries in Africa. It beats south Africa when it comes to that. The leadership there is really trying to improve the nation(unlike many other African and even European countries)
