Rwanda refugees warn UK government - ‘our country is not safe’ 

The u.k is not safe either

Its not just in Rwanda and Russia you have to be quiet to be safe, in Britain today you can be financially and socially destroyed for your opinions.

neither is ours.

Neither is the UK.

Rwanda is in good hand with kagame cause the man build the nation from scratch ! Let’s not forget the 1994 genocide and the French collaboration with the genocidal Rwanda government at that time. We need more heroes like Kagame in Africa , god bless Rwanda 🇷🇼 from Somalia. 🇸🇴

Over £200 million to Rwanda has been funding the civil war.

Im kenyan but when in rwanda im quiet...that is how scary it is.

£200 million to Rwanda? I bet someone has a healthy Swiss bank account balance.

they don't want to go back to their country, but they have no problem going there for holidays

I ,m Rwanda we are safe and we are peaceful country

In Rwanda we sleep well knowing tomorrow will be more beautiful than yesterday❤️

SOOOOO SICK OF SUNAK.

You realise that you've created a catch 22, where people fleeing from repression to the UK aren't safe here because you've let in people "fleeing from repression"

What I find astonishing about our beloved government is that just when you think they can't get worse they proceed to do so. And we keep voting for them, apparently? When you realise that the Prime Minister's wife's money could actually run the NHS for a month, and yet we have two young men sleeping rough outside our church (in the rain, as we discovered after the event), we have a steady stream of young families coming into the church living in 'temporary' accomodation, and thus unable to get their children into school… I could carry on, but this gruesome bunch need to go, and soon.

Russia wouldn’t be classed as an unsafe country.

He might want to inform the UN who are still sending Afghan schoolgirls there for a "safe" education. He should also inform the Labour candidate who has criticised the policy whilst organising school trips to Rwanda for UK schoolkids. Cherry picking what information in report on channel 4 news tut tut

ok. but the UK is not safe too

We should send Rishi to Rwanda. He will fit right in.

And they're making the uk unsafe too

Exactly 💯 if talk in Rwanda about government you die so you have to watch out when you are talking

Aren't Rwanda funding a fued in the congo with the money uk sends them

Why did arsenal have visit Rwanda in their strips 😒

I will ask once more when will the British government start the deportation of white Ukraine to Rwanda? Are is policy just for people of color that seeking asylum.

The money intends to facilitate massacres in DRC, no Tutsi among people being killed or fleeing or in refugee camps.

I'm currently saving money for my visit to Rwanda this coming November.

Rwanda IS a safe country, who are Channel 4 infantilising?. Why would a Afghan, Iraqi, Eritrean or Iranian “refugee” be at risk in Rwanda, they’re not that important. Are these “refugees” all Paul Kagame’s fierce political rivals, clearly not. Rwanda may not be safe for Kagame’s political rivals but it is certainly safe for refugees, as the UNHCR itself chose to relocate many refugees stranded in Libya to Rwanda.

That’s true was forewarned by a Rwandan to say nothing negative about the present regime..

But the Cons have written into law that Rwanda is safe..... so it must be safe.....!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 who is this people we are in Rwanda we are ok but I don't this people wht kind of Rwanda their saying to be opposition doesn't mean to say everything you want

Well if Honest Rishi Sunak is saying that its ok in Rwanda 🤔 it must be just fine 😳 😂😂😂 more Lies from Sunak.

shame on this man he is selling his own state & people

UK is supporting kagame to keep causing carnages in east africa especially in eastern Cong

Why within all other countries , they chose Rwanda?? African countries having good relationship with Iran ,, Turkey is sending back all Iranian refugees to Iran , they go straight to prison , Rwanda would be same as Turkey for Iranians who fled the dictatorship. There must be some sort of difference between economy asylum seekers and political asylum seekers , the UK government knows it very well about Iranian people !!!

Why are you guys selling out your country , Rwanda is safe as other safest nation in the world

Rwanda is a de facto one-party state, ruled by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and its leader Paul Kagame continuously since the end of the civil war in 1994. That state cares not one jot about if ANYONE within it 'feels' safe or not, other than those that run it. One false political move there and the place WOULD revert back to genocide at the drop of a hat. Those that do run it are kept VERY safely away from those whom would much like Rwanda to feel safer, namely it's people. Visiting British home secretary's, festooned with British security detail around them, are also kept VERY safely away from anyone while visiting too. The place is anything but safe for anyone seeking some actual safety. Attempting to say otherwise is like saying Jimmy Savile wasn't really interested sexually in children, he just liked a little cuddle every once in a while.

But i think they are coming to be refugees! Not politicians! Shame on you Channel 4 asking thieves and criminals how worse is Rwanda! What do you expect?? Come ask local people here! Stop that nonsense

Rwanda like Russia?What a nonsense!

Having just come back from 2 weeks in Rwanda, I can genuinely say I've not felt more safe in any other African country (and a lot of global countries even!) I've been to. I can't really comment on the political issues, but I was strolling around on my own, in different neigbourhoods, in the dead of the night. In both Kigali, and the Lake Kivu city of Gisenyi, and I've only ever had friendly conversations. You will get stared at as a foreigner, but it's been nothing but harmless curiosity. The Singapore of Africa as they say

Don’t bring those killers and say Rwanda there is no peace. Us Rwanda 🇷🇼 We know where we come from and we are proud of our own President Paul Kagame🇷🇼 We will choose him again and Again. If you don't know Rwandan go and visit 👏👏

If it's so unsafe why did the EU have a big meeting there, why have the EU entered into a cooperation strategy, why is there an EU-Rwanda business forum? _The presence of the European Commission in Rwanda started in the mid-1960s and was formalised in 1991 with the signature of an “accord de siège” with the Rwandan Government. Rwanda has a well-articulated policy framework to guide its developmental aspirations_ Firstly the EU didn't exist prior to 1993, it was the EEC but there was obvious European involvement in this so-called (alleged) dangerous "Russian like" country, HOW with such heavy European and claimed EU involvement? It's only been pushing this when Britain hit an agreement with Rwanda to report illegal immigrants there. Strange timing. Rwanda is part of the British Commonwealth, or as it is now just the commonwealth of nations. This isn't a backwater country... _June 25, 2022 - Rwanda is a member of the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance - the Blue Charter Action Group on tackling marine plastic pollution. ... Rwanda will host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) which was to have been held in Kigali in June 2021 but was postponed_ (due to you know what)... It's a bit of a mixed message when bug global meetings, commonwealth membership and European involvement is OK, but deportation of illegal immigrants there is dangerous?

Id rather in Russia than the uk these days

"If you want to be safe in Rwanda, you have to keep quiet". OK - so if you are a "refugee" from another country, keep your head down and your gob shut and you'll be fine.

Tony Blair connection. He works with the Rwandans.

Don't deport people to Rwanda it is not a dumping ground!

I don't care what YOUR problem is in YOUR country ,when mine was suffering from communism we fought and rebelled but you ran away to another country and you brought your problems and your bad intentions ,now I have to deal with them too ?

Where is safe enough for those special ones? The Uk is no longer safe for trying to keep strangers safe, such a paradox

So where were these people when during the war in Rwanda… why do they fear to go there because they may be national reckers.

Well, it’s not .. is it.. far from it..

The fact this Government has explicitly said they're happy to "break International law in a limited and specific way" should cause doubt over assurances Rwanda is safe simply because they could be lying to achieve their goals in principle, not to mention the reality described in this video and the mass killing of people back in the 90's. This policy is overkill to control immigration and shouldn't be happening.

why is that our problem?

💔💔💔 More than. 6000 people have been killed by rwanda. In East DRCONGO .💘💘💘

Kagame, Putin and Museveni are birds of same feathers

Yeah... We all know what happened in Rwanda...

"Rwanda is like Russia" well that's fine then Rishi already operates businesses out of Russia so it must be a great place... right? Man governments everywhere just suck....

Rwanda is one of the safest countries because of rule of law. I have lived in a few countries, and I can tell you that there is no partiality here, especially for the leaders here. You should only be afraid of breaking the law because it is applied here. This is sincerely one of the most beautiful places on the face of this planet, and I am not Rwandan, I was a refugee here and I am privileged to call this place my home away from home. The "fear" people say they feel is because we foreigners have to be sensitive and respectful of the people of Rwanda, their history and how they choose to govern their nation. The people interviewed in this video have not anything for this country, but they have alot of things they want to "improve" Rwanda. I would not take this video seriously, take it from someone who has nothing to gain or lose from this. Come to Rwanda, or not.

It's absurd that you call seekers of greener pastures "asylum seekers".😡

We are being flooded with cowardly giant babies. So far cost us £35 billion. On its way to £200 billion.

Saying they will not invade our country yet daily thousands of illegal immigrants grace our shores and are placed in luxury at the cost of the hard working Brits. No they will not get into our families, what a joke on us.

Am Rwandan people am in the country Rwanda is safe

What about the safety of the majority of the British people. Does that no matter Channel4.

How many billions have we sent to Rwanda?

Just close the border completely and stop the benefits

What do you expect a Rwandan Refugee to say? They are economic migrants to the UK, so what would stop them from being told to return home if the UK adopts Rwanda as a safe country??

Channel 4 is a joke

How is Russia like Rwanda?

Have you been to Russia?!

UK is reinforcing Rwanda merceniries tocontinue the looting and crimes in Eastern DRC. They are not refugees but merceneries to support M23/RDF in North Kivu

💔💔💔 Rwanda is killing in East DRCONGO , 6,000,000 people have been dead there since kagame take power in Rwanda 💘💘💘

Do these people not get it? THEY'RE NOT WELCOME ANYMORE‼️

I am neighbor to Rwanda if i am told to live there i would say no, President has all powers there. What they say is true.Actually i am from Tanzania and so many Rwandese are in exile for a long time.

If Rwanda is not safe the entire African continent is not safe

somehow agree with him coz i've seen lots of rwandese refugees in Ugandan refugee camps

Why Rwanda? Who was approached before Rwanda? How many countries turned down this deal?

Neither is ours. Illegal entry is against the law

Rwanda is very good and safe

Like Cuba with the only party and no election. 🥺🙏🏻🕊✝️

I would rather be in Russian than being in UK

Why not Haiti?

This man who don't hide his face is a real hero... what I can say is that if you're not Rwandan it'll not be easy to know how much rwanda is not safe

Mr president.your country is great.don't listen Hippocratic phones to destroy your beautiful country.

Of COURSE its not safe... thats exactly why there is such a thing as a refugee, living in Britain, from Rwanda. Of which... there are many.

What European or UK country is safe? Which still has freedom of speech? Which still serves it's people?

What really is terrifying in Rwanda there’s no Social Security payments and they might have to work!

Since when did government bill overrule courts?😮

The Anglo-Saxon world always wanted to believe in Kagame, no matter what he does.

How would anyone from Rwanda have a clue what Russia is like? These clowns on Channel four don't have a clue either.

Rwanda is real jail . for people and future refugees

The UN is still sending refugees to Rwanda.

If I started certain facts and statistics in a public setting I'd be subject to harrasment from police and other government organisations, arrest then ultimately prison. So can I go claim asylum? Get free money, food and accommodation?

He's right, Rwanda is EXACTLY like russia...😂

Quick Rishi, let's legislate that there is no cost of living crisis, no NHS waiting lists, no school with unsafe buildings, no climate crisis, what else?

What do you expect from the so called opposition!!! Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. A state without rules, norms, regulations,…will lead to chaos, anarchy,… If you are a law break, what do you except from the state which is meant to protect his/her citizens? Rwanda is one of the safest country in the world, yes it is.

Hilarious. People who like the rawanda plan don’t even know that we take there refugees

Scared to have a cup of tea but openly shows his face on screen? Eh?

All on the ground 😢😢😢this is hard ,All grounds are vulnerable 😢😢😢All grounds are common ground now

Generally where migrants come from is very similar to the political situation in Ruanda, but it would be traumatic for genuine refugees. Most if not all countries have extra-judicial killings not matter what they claim - that is no justification, it is simply a reality.

Perhaps the UN sends people to the safe part of Rawanda?

Uk is not sate for us tax paying mules either,because of outcast.get them out

Imagine sending Russian and non EU states like Albanian and Kosovar to Rwanda

In 2014, Israel introduced a now-defunct policy to send those rejected for asylum and illegal immigrants - mainly from Sudan and Eritrea - to Rwanda
