UK threatens visa ban on Eritreans over migrant returns dispute

The United Kingdom has warned the Eritrean government that it may impose a ban on visas for its citizens. This threat comes as a direct response to a disagreement over the return of migrants to Eritrea. The UK is seeking to repatriate individuals who arrived in the country via small boats. Additionally, the policy aims to address the return of foreign nationals who have been convicted of crimes. The BBC reported that the UK is pressuring Eritrea to agree to accept these deportees as part of its ongoing immigration strategy.
