Ooh err, missus! From 'The Times'

"Britain has entered talks to replicate the Rwanda migrant deportation scheme with Armenia, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica and Botswana, according to leaked documents that reveal the government’s extensive search for another third-country deal "

There is said to be quite a nice place near some hippos.....

We don't think so. Where they came up with that one goodness knows.

That seems a very odd choice of countries. Armenia possibly being the strangest. Little tolerance for anyone other than Armenians and not exactly stable, with constant arguments with the neighbours. I don't know about the Ivory Coast, (is there some connection with France, maybe?), but I see that life expectancy is less than 60, so that could be a reason :ymdevil: It's about the size of Poland and the population is already 30m and rising rapidly. Costa Rica is a quiet unassuming place - it doesn't even have an army. not much connection to the Muslim faith, either, with most of the country, unsurprisingly, being Catholic. On that basis, Botswana sounds like a perfect fit =))
