        Coerced repatriation of #African #migrants by #Israel under threats of detention cannot quality as ‘voluntary’ returns.

        Israel should read the UN treaties before saying this crap. The Israel government should know that any citizen can live in their country so long as they have the required documents

        Of course they are angry that #Africa didn't vote for them in their quest to displace #Palestine. Only two state solution is key to peace in that region.

        I wonder why some of the countries come to Africa to sign bilateral agreements yet in actual sense they can't work with we Africans directly.

        This should not be an option. A rigorous due process procedure should be in place to identify those who can not return for safety and security reasons. Detention of asylum seekers should not be tolerated. Even in the case of migrants, detention should not be an option.

        .....and to think that this same Israel was courting African partnership at the AU only last year! Sad but IDK why it feels like a desperate attempt to be in @realDonaldTrump’s good books or its the price to pay for the latter’s loyalty. BTW we cn do the mirror effect here too

        Imprisonment for what? Is this not against human rights? What is the reason of having the UN?
