Three African countries — the Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia and Angola; have agreed to accept the return of illegal migrants and foreign offenders following threats from the UK government to impose visa restrictions on non-co-operating nations. The move comes after the UK Home Secretary warned that failure to cooperate on deportations could lead to sanctions on visas for diplomats and citizens. This deal could enable the removal of thousands from the UK, part of broader efforts to curb irregular migration.
