London, England – E be like say UK and France don finally agree on how to face this migrant wahala wey dey happen for Channel. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron come gather talk say dem wan start beta pilot scheme wey go return some migrants wey carry boat enter UK back to France. Dis na wahala wey plenty governments don dey try solve since as far back as before the last time dem fit settle down like dis.
The plan wey dem call ‘one in, one out’ mean say, for every person wey dem send back to France, dem go allow one valid asylum seeker come UK. Starmer kon talk say dis plan go dey start within weeks. Abeg, make we see how e go play out because many people still dey wonder whether dis scheme fit really work.
So far, dem don report say this year alone, more than 20,000 people don cross Channel through small boats. Starmer talk say if e no work true, dis scheme fit just dey like when you put salt for water wey get too much pepper (no be wahala?). Dem dey hope say the agreement go reduce the number of people wey dey enter UK illegally, especially as dem don plan for security check before dem go allow anybody enter.
Macron sef don talk say Brexit come make the whole issue dey worse o. E bin say UK people dey complain say na EU be wahala, but na Brexit bring this problem come street. If dem no fit balance dis whole arrangement well, na definitely e go turn to another wahala, wey fit dey difficult pass the original one.
But no be everybody dey agree, oh! Some critics don already call dis whole thing ‘migrant surrender deal’ – dem dey feel say only small percentage of migrants go fit dey affected. Chris Philp wey be Conservative shadow home secretary don criticize the plan, say e make no sense to only return about one in every 17 people wey dey come into UK. Talk about pressure wey go dey on UK side if dem fail to manage am well.
As dem dey plan the pilot scheme, dem still dey face many questions plus how exactly dem go choose dem wey go dey sent back, na wetin we still dey hear updates on. But one thing wey dey sure be say, if this plan no start well, na dem same people go dey suffer the effects again. As the coast don turn up, all eyes dey on the first step of dis ‘ground-breaking’ arrangement to see wetin go happen next.
Simultaneously, na this arrangement dey also raise eyebrows across Europe, especially with countries wey dey fear say dem go inherit wahala if dem send migrants back to France, and dem go end up crossing back to dem borders again. Na real serious matter, but dey say na devil wey e go take to remove devils.
Starmer don talk say there go dey coordination between UK and France, wey go help boost border security and combat the people smecklers wey dey use dis situation make money. But for now, everyone just dey expect whether dis national strategy go fit really stop those wey dey risk their lives fighting to cross dis water.
