Adam is joined by the BBC’s Mark Easton who’s in the capital Kigali, and Camille Le Coz from the Migration Policy Institute to chew over the plans and explore whether they’ll ever take off.

Also… as trains, planes, cars and boats look set to be hit by travel disruption over the Easter weekend, we speak to John Irving, CEO of Liverpool John Lennon Airport, to see how he’s preparing for one of the busiest bank holidays since the start of the pandemic.
