Eritrea said on Monday that it is opposed to the UK plan to send illegal migrants to Rwanda. The African country in a statement said that the recent agreement between Rwanda and the United Kingdom to resettle refugees is shameful. Eritrea says that the agreement aims to cover up the root causes of the scourge of human trafficking. Some countries are pursuing "strategic depopulation" policies against other countries for ulterior political motives, and this plan should be strongly opposed and condemned. This cheap and unethical scheme apparently lured African countries into complicity through financial incentives. 

This comes after the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England's highest cleric, has criticised the British government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda to process their claims for refuge.
