[UK restricts DR Congo Visas over migrant return policy]


This is Fair,
as the DRC (Congo)
are not being democratic about this.



[The UK is to impose visa restrictions
against people arriving from
The Democratic Republic of Congo
after its government failed to agree
to measures allowing the return
of illegal migrants and
foreign national offenders.

Ministers say the DRC has not made the
changes required under the toughening
up of the UK's asylum rules announced
in November.

Fast-track visa processes will no longer apply
to people from the country,
while the Home Office said VIPs and politicians
would no longer get
preferential treatment when coming to the UK.
Meanwhile, the Home Office said Angola
and Namibia had agreed to step up efforts
to take back their citizens,
having been threatened with
sanctions alongside the DRC.
A government source said
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood would not
hesitate to ban visas for other countries
refusing to take citizens back.

The Home Office said Angola and Namibia agreeing
to improve their processes marked the
"first delivery success from
last month's asylum reforms".

The government had warned it would
stop granting visas to people from
Angola, Namibia and
the Democratic Republic of Congo if their
governments did not rapidly improve
co-operation on removals.]

all 3 nations were not helping

But now two of them have agreed to take back
our illegal migrants

But Congo (DRC)
have not agreed to take back their people.


It is good to have an official agreement
with other nations, but the Democratic Republic of Congo
is not being democratic.

Presumably Angola and Namibia have got something in return?

those 3 countries are a nightmare

No
Now it is one Nation, Congo (DRC)
who have refused to take their migrants back.
Some could be criminals, but they are still born
in the DRC.

At least
Angola & Namibia
are taking back their migrants.

I don't mean generally, I mean, what do they have to offer us? Presumably they're getting something from us for, quite rightly, taking back their criminals?
