The UK Government has threatened to impose measures affecting Eritreans in response to concerns over migrant returns, with the Home Secretary warning that action could be taken against countries that refuse to co-operate.
The warning relates to the return of migrants and the level of co-operation provided by other countries. The Home Secretary said she would not hesitate to introduce measures against governments that did not work with the UK on the issue.
The statement places Eritrea among the countries facing possible consequences over their approach to accepting returned migrants. No further details of the proposed measures or their timing were provided in the supplied material.
The latest position is therefore a warning rather than confirmation that a ban or other restriction has been introduced. Any next steps would depend on the UK Government’s assessment of co-operation and its decision on whether to proceed with measures.
