About UK - Rwanda Deal:

       People who arrive in Britain as stowaways in trucks or boats illegally may now be relocated to Rwanda.

       Once there, they will be assessed for eventual resettlement in the African nation.

       The plan aims to improve the UK’s asylum system: UK has been struggling to deal with a combination of real humanitarian crises and evil people smugglers profiteering by exploiting the system for their own gains.

       The scheme would break the business model of traffickers and disrupt the flow of illegal migration.

       The UK said that it may start sending asylum seekers on one-way flights.

       Those who tried to jump the queue or abuse our system will find no automatic path to settlement in our country but rather be swiftly and humanely removed to a safe third country or their country of origin.

       The UK has paid the Rwandan government £120 million for housing and integrating the migrants as part of the pilot scheme, which will initially last for five years.
