Botswana rejects UK immigration deal

Botswana, a former colony of Great Britain itself has shown not even that slightest interest to the proposed treaty rejecting it upon proposal.

In an interview with Mmegi this week Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Lemogang Kwape revealed that the UK through its diplomatic channels reached out to Botswana in the wee months of 2023 proposing an immigration treaty that would open doors for UK based asylum seekers to find amnesty in Botswana. The envisaged model would be that the UK sends its asylum seekers to Botswana in exchange for enhanced monetary support to the economy of Botswana.
