Disgraceful Scheme of “Refugee off-shoring’’

of their cases under an initial fee of 120 million Pounds.asylum-seekers to Rwanda for processing
The illicit scheme provokes a host of questions.
Indeed, the whole package is intended to obscure the underlying causes, dynamics and varied tentacles of the scourge of human trafficking. Apart from vicious conflicts and wars stoked and exacerbated by extraneous agendas, certain countries continue to pursue policies of “strategic depopulation” against some countries for ulterior political motives. These are the vital dimensions that should be addressed for an enduring remedy to the global, multi-layered, crime.
In the event, the cheap and unethical scheme, that has evidently solicited complicity of an African country through financial incentives, must be roundly opposed and deplored.

Welby said.The details are for politics and politicians. The principle must stand the judgment of God and it cannot,
he said.It cannot carry the weight of our national responsibility as a country formed by Christian values, because sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God who himself took responsibility for our failures,
Welby is the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion of about 85 million Christians.
Last year, more than 28,000 migrants and refugees made the crossing from mainland Europe to Britain.
The arrival of migrants on rickety boats has been a source of tension between France and Britain, especially after 27 migrants drowned when their dinghy deflated in November.
