This week, the UK will likely pass a law saying Rwanda is "safe" to deport asylum seekers to. Meanwhile, I was recently denied boarding on a flight to Rwanda, presumably because of my journalism on the treatment of refugees there. (THREAD) 1/
@sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Be careful anyway. I am, as a #journalist, persona non grata in #Rwanda since 2008. But I was advised as well by my minister of Foreign Affairs that time to NEVER go to Rwanda under this #regime because ‘we can not guarantee your safety, even as a Belgian journalist’. Take care!
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM The same defacto journalist that lied about Pegasus.. there is nothing you can do to tarnish the image of Rwanda and succeed
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM @PVerlindenJst, Even as a “belgian” journalist! Does being "Belgian" add anything really important to your so-called status as a journalist?
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Nobody remembers your name in #Rwanda, @PVerlindenJst 😆😆
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Rather the MFA of Belgium should have investigated if you have any role of accomplice : your 'wife' fake applications ID details for ....asylum in Belgium😅. Is that ironic regarding this specific topic of asylum? 😉
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Western manipulators who're the cause of the crisis in the greatlakes should always be personal non grata in the area. Can Belgium issue a visa to an alqaida "journalist " ?, i don't think so.
@PVerlindenJst @emmanuel_nda @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Belgians should be the last people to talk about Rwanda given what they did to this country. History can never be forgotten.
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Ok stay in your counties, you don’t allow Africans journalists in your countries what is special about you?
@PVerlindenJst @sallyhayd @pew_literary @4thEstateBooks @melvillehouse @Capitan_Swing @BBEditore @NWADAM Don't feel too superiour to not be denied a visa to an african country. Have you ever questioned how many people are being denied a visa to come to your country as well even when they are journalists?? if not, so who do you think you are to not be denied a visa to Rwanda??
