英国内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德向厄立特里亚发出警告，要求该国接收被拒难民和罪犯，否则将禁止厄立特里亚公民进入英国 1。这是英国政府对不配合遣返政策国家采取的最新措施。
厄立特里亚与英国的遣返合作在今年早些时候突然中止，英国随后撤销了该国官员的签证快速审批权 1。根据英国政府数据，过去一年有近6000名厄立特里亚人通过英吉利海峡抵达英国，使其成为截至2026年6月过去一年小船抵达英国人数最多的国籍 1。与此形成对比的是，过去四年中，被拒的厄立特里亚难民共2626人，其中仅约100人被驱逐出境，驱逐率不足4% 1。
马哈茂德表示："厄立特里亚已有充分机会接收罪犯和无权留在英国的人。与其他国家不同，它拒绝了。" 1 英国此前对安哥拉、纳米比亚和刚果民主共和国实施过类似威胁，其中安哥拉和纳米比亚随后同意合作 1。此外，印度、巴基斯坦、尼日利亚、孟加拉国、索马里、埃及和加蓬也被认定为抗拒接收非法移民，可能面临同样的制裁 1。
Britain's Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned Eritrea that the country faces an entry ban for its nationals unless it agrees to accept more rejected asylum seekers and criminals 1. The threat comes after Eritrea abruptly halted deportation cooperation earlier this year, prompting the UK to revoke expedited visa processing privileges for Eritrean officials 1.
Eritreans have become the largest nationality arriving in the UK by small boat over the past year through June 2026, with nearly 6,000 individuals crossing the English Channel during that period 1. Despite this influx, the deportation record has been stark: of 2,626 Eritrean asylum seekers rejected over the past four years, fewer than 100—less than 4 percent—have been removed from the country 1. Mahmood stated that "Eritrea has had every opportunity to take back criminals and people with no right to be in the UK. Unlike other countries, it has refused to do so" 1.
This action represents the latest in a series of visa sanctions Britain has imposed on nations resisting cooperation with its returns policy 1. The UK previously issued similar threats to Angola, Namibia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with Angola and Namibia subsequently agreeing to cooperate 1. Additional countries identified as resistant to accepting deportees—including India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Somalia, Egypt, and Gabon—face potential similar measures 1.
