STORYLINE:
Rwanda says it's ready to receive migrants from the United Kingdom after British Parliament this week approved a long-stalled and controversial bill seeking to stem the tide of people crossing the English Channel in small boats by deporting some of them to the East African country.
There is even a place ready and waiting for the migrants - a refurbished Hope Hostel in the vibrant upscale neighborhood of Kagugu, an area of the Rwandan capital of Kigali that is home to many expats and several international schools.
The hotel has never had a customer since opening its doors two years ago.
The hotel's manager, Bakina Ismael said in an interview with The Associated Press that they have been ready to offer the best services to the asylum seekers for years now.
"When they arrive here at Hope Hostel, they will get different hospitality services," he said.
Previously, the hotel was known as the Association of Student Survivors of Genocide (AERG) hostel.
It was a safe haven to young people orphaned in the 1994 genocide, when up to 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.
Rwanda’s government has often described the 100 bed capacity facility as a transit centre, the first of its kind.
They have been adamant that in the event of more deportations, the Rwandan government will build other similar centres.
British tax-payers' money has been funding the maintenance of the facility through a 462.7 million US dollar agreement signed by the two countries in 2022.
Rwanda has acknowledged receipt of some of the funds.
In an attempt to deter people from making the risky journeys, the UK government struck a deal with Rwanda in April 2022 to send migrants who arrive in the UK as stowaways or in boats to the East African country, where their asylum claims would be processed and, if successful, they would stay.
The British Parliament finally passed legislation to send some migrants to Rwanda, clearing the runway for flights this summer under the government's controversial plan to stop migrants crossing the English Channel from France to the UK in small boats.
Human rights groups and other critics of the plan say it is unworkable and unethical to send migrants to a country 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometres) away that they don’t want to live in.
No one has yet been sent to Rwanda, but British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the first flights will leave in July.

Looks better than where these migrants come from in the first place , what will it look like after the migrant have lived there for 12.months
Keep your children safe, Rwanda
from church priests.
Exactly
I was happy at first when I hear the law gor finalized and fibally ready to send people there, but i then felt sad knowing what till happen to this christian country that thought they got a deal with hosting "peaceful" Migrants...unfortunately they do not know what is going to happen to their country.
Rwanda is in for a rude awakening. Don't know what they're getting themselves into. Amazing what these greedy governments will do for money. 🤦🤦 That hostel looks very clean and nice now. Show us again what it looks like after a month. 🤦😁
and only 1 washing machine 😁
Yeh - then the migrants will be on a plane back to the UK🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@akalizaakaliza7049Stop talking about what u dont know.
Don't worry.First let's help them getting out from those unsafe tents and after we will find solution to any arising issues.
Unfortunately Rwanda does not know yes, I cannot think of the pain the people from Rwanda will have to face due to these migrants
It looks lovely. Why wouldn't Africans be willing to go? More opportunities in a developing country than in the UK.
Africans are your problem???? They're the only illegals?
you must also know that Uk government paid for those buildings to be built and the services they are getting there. It's just pure business transaction btwn the two governments. Do you think all Rwandese people live in these kind of environment?
*muslims.
Brit talking here,
I would love to move into that place to start over..
I am living in America right now, and it is not safe for me here.
Man I see life is good plus uk funding your lifestyle in a low income country you just become rich
😂Why are you still there then?
its nice but Rwanda has no transition plan for those people we can clearly see who they are trying to make feel cormfortable with halal everything , they dont have work for them or welfare checks like some european countries have done two generations of welfare people , in africa if you dont work you dont eat literally
How much money are we Brits paying for that hostel?
Do we Brits get to holiday there?
The madness that is British Government continues!
Dear Rwanda, other Africans, we love you, we proud of you. The road to development is long, full of stumbles. But you have learnt lessons that many of us refuse to learn. We are proud of ypu and wish you the best...
Im uk citizen from africa originally, can i join them in rwanda. Life in london is hard man
😂😂😂😂
😭😂😂😂😂
@@NabeetaChrispus 🌼LETS 🌸ALL 🌺LIVE 🌻IN 🌹The beautiful, beautiful places of Africa, so sweet and wonderful and quiet and peaceful! No one to bother you at all☺️
Wow, red carpet, wow, amazing. Like royalty is coming
British govt pays for these... 🤪

Not what you think. You follow the law it's that simple or live the alternative.I this this is a universal fact.
Wow is it all inclusive
How lovely is that I think I would love to be sent there
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY.
I feel so sorry for Rwandans for letting their greedy dictator to do all this for his own benefits
Criminals know their plan to enslave these poor young men into criminality, employing them into stilling minerals from congo and to work as intelligence around the region🔥
Pure Madness Rwanda gouvernement is Mad
Leave my country's Government son of evil 😊
Their government will make money from this
What - just ONE hotel????????????
I can see this going easily wrong, Rwanda is very much underdeveloped with lack of police and this can mean a genocide part 2
Devin. You haven't been to Rwanda, have you?
It is heavily and effectively policed.
You are lost . Jst think about your policy that didn't know how to avoid this .
@@Samuel-hd3cp Yes I’ve been there and no it’s not heavily and effectively policed, very few areas are, that’s not gonna stop a population
You clearly have never been to rwanda. The level of crime in UK compared to rwanda. You’re joking 😂. Rwanda is far more secured police wise
Be quiet!
If asylum seekers truly want to be saved, they will have to follow rules in Rwanda and assimilate
😂 GIVE NIGERIANS 🇳🇬 THISNKIND OF ACCOMODATION I BET THE GOV'T OF RWANDA WILL GET TIRED OF THEM AND CHASE THEM AWAY BECAUSE THEY WILL EAT AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AND NOT GOING ANYWERE AGAIN. THIS IS LUXURY TO NIGERIANS I KNOW 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow it is looks like luxury hotel
All the people that have power and can do whatever they want with human being , they will be accountable to God on Judgment day. This is God earth no man is and island
Local would like to experience this, I think
Human are first resources here, 😉 every one eat,wear,drink,recreate ,consume electricity and water,travel,communicate,innovate etc. the leadership and organisation keep us on next level of thinking every problem brings more business opportunities.none here will depends on Others to survive every one shall work .
Madness madness
How they going to fit 180.000 of them in there 😂😂😂😂😂
I cant watch this without thinking of the film 'hotel rwanda' and that didnt end well.. the building even looks similar
What is not ending well is your dirty mind. So mind your business.
I do not support that African open your eyes.puppet
Gosh these nice people don’t need trash . Can I go ?
wow, getting food it is very hard in Rwanda hopefully u will be cooking for them
Poor Rwanda...they even prepared them Quran s and prayer maths, they clearly do not know what these people are going to do to their country....poor Rwanda
They know! becasue if you are given a job there, it means you are a criminal and able to carry out the task. these are Kagames intelligence working there! many rwandans are jobless, but not everyone will get job there.
They are gonna be lots of cries and shouts alahu....SNACKBAR ...for sure in the days to come......
5 🌟
Loved that they're not staying there for their whole life after some days they'll start working and surely they'll be developing rwanda not their home countries
@Thetrend. I believe that the Rwandan job market is quite tight and I don't think that those immigrants are necessarily more skilled than the Rwandese youth itself.
@@stansiyomana1239 I'm Rwandan citizen but I loved that we're trying to support huge number of Africans who are dying in Atlantic and else where trying to go to Europe and I'm sure Rwanda will show them how Africa including their countries is wealthy if they open eyes.
How long they will be lodged here?.
as long as the brits pay to keep them there, luxurious lifetyles for the rich and famous
Get me deported to Rwanda it's safe, beautiful and there's no xenophobia
Do you have schools and hospitals for children
no women, no children will be sent to Rwanda. only men will because they need cheap strengths to employ in criminality, stealing, abducting rwandans and make then disappear!
Will they be given jobs or only accommodation??
How about food and entertainment?
😂😂😂 Netflix n I phone
Nonsense people
In 5 🌟 hotel
At least it'll be warm enough for them🙄
Now Kagame will have men enough to fight in the eastern Dr Congo for the blood minerals 🩸
Does the package include a
tour of the museum.of
skulls ?
👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
Why do you scare us already 😅
I am English, born in torquay south devon 64 years ago, is there any chance I can go to Rwanda, it looks great, then some ILLEGAL being can have my uk status, ( I am not joking).
5star hotel
Africa wakeup there Will be another palestine in Rwanda.
Sad, a French family from a safe country seeking refuge without the means is sent there until processed & if not stay there.
So what? French, does that mean greater humanity
Foolishness, idiot
On the best will do all inclusive with a prayer mat and a Quran so have a couple of weeks of r and r and then do it again 😂😂😂😂
WHY is this luxury afforded to illegal economic migrants leaving France in search of improving their lot - maybe the UK disabled loosing their PIP might be offered the oppertunity to go to Rwanda !
What will these migrants be doing in Rwanda? Just staying put, being fed and all...Kagame knows the secret
they will be deployed to steal menerals in congo, to fight wars in congo in the name of British govenment
Nice place, I am coming to uk illegals then rishi snacks will send me to Rwanda 😂, im here in africa.

I like that fishing snack, not sunak. Predictive texting changed rishi to fishing.
