The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, be sayin' that the first ships to Rwanda be settin' sail in July.Kwape didn't say when the U.K. came knockin' on Botswana's door, but it be known that they already signed a deal with Rwanda in April and have been chattin' up other countries like Armenia, Costa Rica, Ivory Coast, and Botswana about a similar arrangement."Arr, the British government did indeed send us a message through their fancy diplomatic channels askin' us to take in their unwanted mates," Kwape shared. "But we be havin' enough troubles of our own, so we politely told them to walk the plank."As for Sunak's plan to stop migrants crossin' the English Channel, it be causin' quite the stir among human rights groups. The deal with Rwanda be havin' the migrants processed there, with the British government already payin' a hefty sum for the plan, even before any swashbucklers be sent on their way.
