UK Migration Minister Rebukes Rishi Sunak and Resigns.
The British Government Faces a Scandal Due to Minister's Resignation
One of the British government's ministers, Robert Jenrick, decided to cease his work after a conflict with the Prime Minister and other officials. Jenrick was responsible for migration issues and opposed the plans to relocate migrants to Rwanda.
The Cabinet published a bill that proposed relocating migrants from the UK to Rwanda. Jenrick disagreed with this decision, considering it inadequate and inhumane.
The minister himself submitted his resignation, explaining that the bill he was to present to the House of Commons was doomed to fail. He expressed doubts about the effectiveness and safety of relocating migrants to Rwanda.
The UK's relocation plans were tied to an agreement made with Rwanda during former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's tenure. However, the UK's Supreme Court declared this plan illegal, especially considering the risk of deporting migrants to countries they had fled from.
This scandal has become a serious problem for the UK authorities, which are trying to find solutions for migration and human rights protection issues. Rwanda also expressed its willingness to accept migrants and called for addressing the root causes of migration so that people would not leave their homes and seek refuge in other countries.
