UK has an agreement with Rwanda to send refugees to Rwanda.

But the UK High Court nixed it, because Rwanda is "not a safe country".

There's a big difference between needing asylum and needing asylum in a stable country with universal healthcare and a benefits system.

Refugees are trying to flee to a developed country with healthcare, jobs and safety. Why would you want to go to Rwanda? I realize it has improved by leaps and bounds but very few people are going to want to emigrate to an African country.
