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 Nobody remembers your name in #Rwanda, @PVerlindenJst 😆😆
