Asylum seekers who were relocated to Rwanda as part of the EU program were suspended in the police state of poverty in the police state

asylum seekers in Rwanda said that they had been left in a "traumatizing" poverty flood for years, hardly able to afford clothes and constantly be afraid of the country's brutal security forces, according to an examination of the Telegraph found.

While the Interior Ministry is preparing to send the first group of asylum seekers on Tuesday, June 14, with a simple ticket to South to Rwanda, this newspaper sent journalists to examine what was going on in the police state.

British minister claim that the agreement for the permanent settlement of migrants who have illegally crossed the channel into the East African nation will give people a chance to "rebuild their lives into safety".

Rwanda has promised those who move into the country, a "long -term accommodation", but no details were published that show what they could look like.

The Gashora Transit Center, 90 miles from Rwanda's capital Kigali, is the clearest indication of where the migrants are relocated.

The police keep the center in the eye and refuse to access independent journalists, only in the event that one of the refugees says something that damages the Rwandas carefully developed image as Africa's "surprise".

Rwanda and the UN founded Gashora four years ago with the support of the EU to accommodate refugees in Libya's civil war, as they tried to over the Mediterranean come.

Today, the dilapidated accumulation of one -story concrete blocks houses almost 300 people who hope to get asylum elsewhere one day. Take a look at the local apparatus press or in UN reports, and the center looks idyllic.

"Take a look at the smile of the refugees from Libya who are housed in Rwanda," says a headline of the Rwandian New Times. "This center is life-saving for her," said Filippo Grandi, the UN refugee chief. "Because they find a future for their lives, but also because you take care of them."

But refugees sneaked out of the center to tell it telegraph reporter the reality of what was going on.

"Nobody can stay under these conditions"

"The economic conditions in the transit center were hard. Since I came here, I have not been able to support my child that I left behind in Sudan," says a man whose wife died when he stuck in Libya.

"Poverty was hard and the camp was traumatizing. Nobody can stay under these conditions for a long time."

Many live in constant fear of the security forces. The refugees in Gashora have an outcome lock at 8 p.m. and will be punished when they go out too late. Some claimed that the local police sexually abused a 16-year-old boy outside the camp last year.

The Rwandian police denied this and explained that the boy came up with the accusations because he came back after the initial lock and wanted to escape a punishment.

"This is not enough to live a decent life, where I find it difficult to afford the most necessary things like clothing, shoes and food outside the warehouse," says another man from Africa, who feared, to be punished if his name was published.

"The houses they have built are not enough for all of us. We are missing privacy. We eat three meals a day, but the quality is so bad. We have eaten the same kind of Essen since we arrived [Several Years Aggo]. We have nothing else because we have no money to eat outside."

"Medical care is not good. We get sick and do not get medical help in time or what is appropriate," he continued.

The refugees said they felt isolated in a sultry atrial at the lower end of Rwandic society, unable to speak the immensely complex national language of cinema.

Many trained specialists in Gashora are forced to work as a farm worker or home employee to make ends meet, but most are unemployed and dependent on around £ 35 a month.

"I never asked to be here and I don't want to be here. What was done was not in my interest ... You said we would be tortured in Libya. But at least people had hope for a better life," said an eritreaner.

"Some of our friends in this camp were rejected and risked to stay here for the rest of their lives. That is not fair."

While Rwanda has experienced something like a development miracle since the genocide in 1994, in which almost a million people were killed, the development was not evenly distributed.

The wealth that flows from Rwanda's growing service sector and the mines in the neighboring Dr Congo, controlled by militias, has transformed Kigali into a shiny city on the hill. But most rural rucander are on average among the poorest people.

Several refugees interviewed that even if they had the necessary capital to found a small company to feed their families, it would "die quickly" due to the lack of money in the region.

The lucky ones are the lucky. The country houses around 150,000 refugees from neighboring Burundi and the Dr Kongo.

A Burundian refugee in the huge Mahama camp in eastern Rwanda said that women were often raped if they went to the forests around the warehouse alone.

"Youth consumes drugs and alcohol to escape their problems. They have no vision for the future."

ordinary rucander say that they are not sure where the refugees and migrants from Great Britain will live. Rwanda is slightly larger than Wales and has a population that is more than four times as large. About 70 percent of the 13 million inhabitants of the country are subsistence farmers, and almost every piece of land is inhabited, cultivated or used as pasture.

The Rwandian police have kept the refugee protests under control in the past. In 2018, the police scattered a group of 3,000 refugees who protested against UN Food cuts with sharp shots, whereby at least eight people were killed.

"We have no freedom of expression in the camp, even if we want to express our symptoms. We are afraid of the authorities who apply excessive violence to prevent our suffering in the warehouse," said a Congolese refugee.

"Imagine you flee from your country because of a war, just to be killed in the host country to protect you."
