Uganda To Receive 40,000 Israel Deportees In A matter Of Weeks'

Rights Groups Say That $5,000 (About Ugx 18M) For Each Refugee Is Paid By Israel Government To Uganda.

During the hearing of a case filed by human-rights organisations seeking to block the deportation of refugees, mainly from Eritrea and Sudan, State Prosecutor Shosh Shmueli told the High Court of Justice in Tel Aviv on Tuesday that the Israeli government plans to begin deporting asylum seekers within the "next few weeks," according to a report by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Uganda and Rwanda have admitted working with Israel on the issue of African refugees, but little has been revealed of what the agreements entail.
According to reports, both countries have already started receiving African refugees, but mass deportations of the close to 40,000 are about to start.

When the High Court president Esther Hayut asked about the schedule for the deportations the state prosecutor replied, "Very soon." The Judge asked "How soon?" to which the state prosecutor replied, "Weeks."
Rights groups say that Israel offers Rwanda and Uganda $5,000 for each reject refugee.

According to the East African, Rwanda envisions economic inclusion of all refugees it hosts by 2020. The European Union has offered to support Kigali's efforts. Neven Mimica, EU Commissioner for International Co-operation and Development, met with President Kagame on the sidelines of the African Union-European Union Summit in Abidjan and discussed the deal.
