В статье рассматривается изменение роли Африки как пункта назначения для иностранных мигрантов. Особое внимание уделяется становлению Руанды в качестве центра переселения нелегальных беженцев и несостоявшихся просителей убежища из некоторых стран Западной Европы. Несмотря на то, что Африка не является традиционным миграционным направлением, в последнее время число беженцев и просителей убежища на континенте возрастает. Руанда, исторически не принимавша таких мигрантов до 2016 г., стала в этом отношении необычным пунктом назначения. В настоящем исследовании анализируются причины, по которым руководство Руанды, не обладающей сильной экономикой, с готовностью взяло на себя такую ответственность. Авторами рассматриваются недавние двусторонние соглашения, в том числе с Великобританией и Данией, которые определяют порядок переселения просителей убежища в Руанду. В работе подвергается сомнению предположение о том, что правящие круги Руанды руководствуются исключительно альтруистическими или финансовыми соображениями; вместо этого на первый план выходят иные мотивы, такие как стремление приобрести политические рычаги или дешевую рабочую силу. Проливая свет на мотивацию правительства Руанды, данное исследование вносит вклад в более глубокое понимание динамики миграции и переселения в условиях меняющегося глобального ландшафта.

This paper examines Africa’s evolving role as a preferred destination for external migrants, specifi cally highlighting Rwanda’s emergence as a hub for resettling illegal refugees and failed asylum seekers from select Western European countries. Despite Africa’s atypical status as a migrant hotspot, there has been a rise in refugees and asylum seekers arriving on the continent. Notably, Rwanda, which traditionally has not hosted such migrants until 2016, has become an unexpected choice. This study analyzes why Rwanda, a country with limited economic power, has taken on the responsibility of processing and transferring asylum seekers as outlined in recent bilateral agreements with the UK and Denmark. The research examines alternative motivations to Rwanda’s presumed altruistic or fi nancial intentions, including political leverage and the acquisition of lowcost labor skills. By shedding light on Rwanda’s motivations, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of migration and resettlement dynamics in a changing global landscape.
