""Rwanda stands ready to receive as many as possible under this partnership, we have the capacity to receive in the tens of thousands but for the moment it will be on a gradual basis."

"Not at all, actually based on our history we understand the importance of protecting anybody from hate speech and discrimination, this is not tolerated in our society, the freedom from discrimination due to sexual orientation of a person is guaranteed in our constitution and the rule of law is there to enforce that.""

"It is Rwanda that will be testing the claim, these people are coming to Rwanda to be relocated and re-integrated in Rwandan society."

""Under this partnership, we are getting substantial investment that will benefit all migrants and all refugees in Rwanda, which means that all those vulnerabilities will be addressed under this investment partnership that we have with the UK,"

"The UK's responsibility to take some refugees from Rwanda was "only for these very isolated and extreme cases""

"We are ready to accommodate as many (migrants) as the UK is willing to send.”"

"Rwanda is “not a prison state” and repeated assurances that authorities will not be able to stop migrants leaving the country if they wish – giving rise to questions over whether some may try to make their way back to the UK again."

"The government will help people return to their country of origin, or another where they have a right to reside, if they choose, she said, adding: “We do not want to create statelessness or a revolving door of migrants.”"
