The United Nations (UN) is among many voices that have objected to the United Kingdom (UK) controversial bill to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, saying the law's likely to have negative effects on global responsibility-sharing, human rights, and refugee protection.  After a prolonged battle in the courts and in Parliament, Britain's Conservative government has secured this bill. The legislation is intended to override a Supreme Court ruling last year that deemed the plan to send asylum seekers to the African nation unlawful. The judges ruled that Rwanda was not a safe country in which refugees could resettle or have their asylum cases heard.

The United States (US) says it will temporarily withdraw some of its troops from Chad. This as the US is also expected to pull its troops from Niger.

The US is yet to announce a timeline for when it will pull out the more than 1,000 military personnel.
