The next time a pious liberal castigates the Rwanda deal, remind them of the inconvenient truth about the EU’s hell holes for migrants
by Rakib Ehsan, Mailonline:
[…] Imagine a cell so thick with people there’s hardly anywhere to sit. A cell lit by a fluorescent tube all night. A cell whose only source of natural light is from a small grille in the door. A cell where inmates fight over the chance to sleep under the shower as it’s the only place of ventilation.
Critics of the UK policy might think this to be the fate of migrants bound for Rwanda.
But it isn’t anything like the breezy, bright, newly renovated hostel accommodation in Kigali, the country’s capital, arranged by the Home Office.
This awful place I have just described is the Al-Mabani detention centre in Libya. And it’s the EU’s inconvenient truth.
The centre is one of many that the EU helps finance across the war-torn country that detains migrants, stopping them from crossing into Europe.
It’s ‘offshoring’, pure and simple.
