March 29, 2026March 29, 2026 AFRICAN METRO NEWS

The movie explores how distance stretches a relationship and showcases the acting skills of Nollywood’s new actress, Posi Benson. The plot thickens as the “Good morning, sunshine” texts devolved into “Busy day, talk later,” and finally, into a heavy, thrumming silence of a line that has gone dead without being disconnected.

Canada Faces Scrutiny Over Returning Refugees Fleeing the U.S.

March 2026 | African Metro News

Canada is facing renewed human rights scrutiny after the Canadian Council for Refugees warned that people seeking safety are being turned back to the United States, exposing them to unsafe conditions, family separation, and the risk of further removal.

In a detailed submission to the United Nations Human Rights Committee ahead of Canada’s March 2026 review, the Canadian Council for Refugees argues that current policies are failing refugees and other vulnerable migrants. At the center of the criticism is the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, which the group says is putting lives at risk by forcing asylum seekers back across the border instead of allowing them to pursue protection claims in Canada.

The report also raises concerns about proposed legal changes that could deny refugee hearings, an overbroad cessation regime that strips some refugees of their status, and an immigration detention system that can leave non-citizens held for indefinite periods.

The organization’s top demand is that Canada immediately withdraw from the Safe Third Country Agreement. It is also calling for the withdrawal of Bill C-12 and for the restoration of status to people who have already lost it.

Why it matters Advocates say returning refugees to the U.S. may expose already vulnerable people to detention, deportation, and broken protection pathways at a moment of rising uncertainty across North America’s asylum system.
