- RWANDA DEPORTATIONS: On Tuesday, Priti Patel announced the first deportation flights to 🇷🇼 will depart 14 June. The following day, detained asylum seekers, inc Syrians, received letters notifying they'll be on first flight. We managed to speak with them & see their letters...
- An incredible team effort to bring you this. ⬇️ Thanks to many colleagues inside and outside the BBC, we can share this extraordinary story with you - of the last moments of a dictator's 23 years in power, and the beginning of the Arab Spring.
