    Has anyone considered maybe sending migrants back to their actual country of origin, instead? Or is it too hard to ask them where they’re from?

      Yes, in fact it is too hard…

      When the cruelty, disorientation, and disappearance is the point. 🤷‍♂️

    Worth mentioning that Sudan and Putin’s Russia are very very close friends, who have only strengthened their economic and military ties since 2022.

    I give it a month before Trump deportees start magically teleporting from Sudan to Ukraine’s front lines on the side of Russia.

      South Sudan is an independent country and not part of Sudan (anymore). And not in good terms with Sudan.

      Sadly also a very war torn country.

      Both Sudans are facing active conflicts and humanitarian crises yes, but Sudan (ie the North) which you are likely referring to due to recent media coverage is a separate country to South Sudan which split from it a decade or so ago.

    I’m sure they’ll be perfectly safe in one of the hottest war zones in the world.
