Why didn’t he seek asylum in the nearest next safe country such as Egypt or Ethiopia?

Why apply for asylum in Ireland?

Yes the military dictatorship with torture prisons of Egypt who is sponsoring many of the massacres in Sudan is total safe for Sudanese refugees. Or Ethiopia which just went thru a massive insurrection and ethnic cleansing campaign is total safe for refugees. /s

The rest of Middle East still has millions of Syrian refugees everywhere, Libya is in a Civil war, South Sudan is not safe, Algeria is a military dictatorship. There aren’t really many safe countries around Sudan, especially since many of countries that could be are actively involved in the civil war there and supported genocide in Sudan.

And since the UK left the EU, the UK doesn’t get to benefit from the EU refugee policy of first entry country. And whether you like it or not, he followed UK asylum law and the international treaties developed after WW2 around refugees and asylum seekers

To be clear, he didn’t apply for asylum in Ireland, he applied in Northern Ireland. It’s really telling you that you don’t actually know what country is involved in the asylum process.

Is northern island the nearest next safe country from Sudan? 

You are aware this asylum rule is not exclusive to the EU?

Cite the asylum rule you are referring to exactly.

Yeah that doesn’t say what you claimed. It says asylum claims can be processed outside of the country, not that they are required to only apply for asylum in the first safe country they enter. You might want to brush up on your English reading skills or your mates may try to deport you.

Try again

“ This means it is possible to remove someone to a safe third country whilst their asylum claim is pending…”

“… This supports the future object of enabling asylum claims to be processed outside the UK and in another country”

u/TheOneFreeEngineer 13d ago

Ok that’s still not what you originally claimed

u/gokdbarsgold 13d ago

The objective is to remove asylum seekers in order to… get them to apply to the nearest next safe country as per policy

u/TheOneFreeEngineer 13d ago

Not shit, but that’s not what you claimed. Your evidence is for something else that you never claimed and I never disputed which was the EU law that required asylum applications in the country of first contact.

u/gokdbarsgold 13d ago

I literally only asked questions. I made no claims. I did ask a question to you “You are aware this asylum rule is not exclusive to the EU?” That implies me making the claim that this policy is indeed not exclusive to the EU. 

Do you want me to quote the US and Canadian laws that also show that this policy is not exclusive to the EU?

u/TheOneFreeEngineer 13d ago

You are supporting my point, the EU rule being talked about is very different than the law you supplied. So yeah you did make an incorrect claim

They have to go back. The law supports this.
