Many African students in UK  have fled to Repubic Ireland

Many African students in the United Kingdom have fled to the

Republic of Ireland over fear of being deported to Rwanda. Some of the students who fled did so because of threats from their universities to report them to their home offices over their inability to pay their school fees.

Many of these African natives have thought they would come to the UK and work and pay the remaining of their school fees, only to come over and realise it is not as easy as they have thought or were told. Letters from school threatening them to pay or face withdrawal suddenly led panicky students to travel across the border to the Republic of Ireland.

Many other immigrants from across the world that the UK is planning to take to Rwanda have also fled the country to Dublin to seek asylum.

The government of the Republic of Ireland is worried and discussing legislation that will make them send anyone coming from the UK back to the UK.

The UK government is still debating relocating anyone who came into the UK illegally to Rwanda. The deal has almost been sealed, but the court has barred it from going ahead for now.
