Germany Denies Plans to Adopt UK’s Rwanda Asylum Scheme

German officials clarify that any third-country processing will be under UN oversight, countering speculation about using UK-funded facilities in Rwanda.

Germany's ambassador to the UK confirmed there is no plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The proposal to use Rwanda for asylum processing was suggested by Germany's migration commissioner, Joachim Stamp.
Stamp's proposal targets migrants entering the EU from Belarus and Russia, citing 'hybrid warfare' by these countries.
The UK previously spent £700 million on the now-abandoned Rwanda scheme, which was scrapped by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Criticism and political pressure in Germany follow a fatal attack linked to a Syrian asylum seeker and recent far-right electoral gains.
