Rwanda has agreed to accept up to 250 migrants deported from the US, becoming the third African nation to do so after similar deals with South Sudan and Eswatini. The agreement allows Rwanda to vet each migrant and provides them with training, healthcare, and accommodation. This follows a failed deal with the UK and amid criticism that African nations are being pressured to become dumping grounds for unwanted deportees. The US claims these are "barbaric" criminals. Concerns remain about Rwanda's human rights record and the safety of the deported migrants.
