flag UK secures deportation deals with Angola and Namibia after threatening visa cuts for non-cooperation.

flag The UK has reached agreements with Angola and Namibia to repatriate undocumented migrants and foreign national offenders, following Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's threat to impose visa restrictions on countries that do not cooperate. flag The move, which is part of a larger UK strategy to strengthen border control, comes in response to allegations that Angola, Namibia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo slowed deportations by delaying paperwork and requiring individuals to sign their own removal documents. flag While no specific timelines or numbers were disclosed, the UK has already revoked fast-track visa access and preferential treatment for DRC diplomats. flag The Home Office confirmed that new procedures will allow for deportations in the coming months, emphasizing the importance of continued cooperation in maintaining UK visa privileges.
