TORY PLAN FOR WAR IN 'SAFE NATION' RWANDA

MPs not informed amid asylum safety bill vote
CONTINGENCY plans for a war in Rwanda were secretly drawn up by government officials - even as Tories voted that it was a safe country, the Mirror can reveal.
Former Foreign Secretary David Cameron was briefed on a communications strategy demanding that civilians and aid were protected.
The revelation comes days after Robert Jenrick became the first Tory leadership candidate to pledge to resurrect the Rwanda project, which was scrapped by Labour.
Memos obtained by the Mirror show preparations were being made in the Foreign Office in case tensions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo escalated.
