The Dutch government is considering a plan to relocate rejected African asylum-seekers to Uganda, as suggested by the African country’s trade and development minister.
During a recent visit to Uganda, Reinette Klever put forward this proposal, although it is uncertain whether it would be legally or practically viable, and whether Uganda would be willing to accept it.
Ugandan Foreign Affairs Minister Jeje Odongo expressed openness to discussions about the idea in an interview with Dutch broadcaster NOS.
This initiative aligns with a wider European strategy of establishing “return hubs” outside the EU to house asylum-seekers whose applications have been rejected before repatriating them to their countries of origin.
