UK signs new migration treaty with Rwanda: AFP reporter

Britain and Rwanda signed a new treaty on Tuesday in a bid to revive a controversial proposal by London to transfer migrants to the east African country.

British interior minister James Cleverly met Rwandan foreign minister Vincent Biruta in Kigali to sign the agreement and salvage London's stalled bid to send asylum-seekers and other migrants to Rwanda, after the UK Supreme Court last month blocked an earlier arrangement as unlawful.
