The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has signed a new agreement with the Trump administration to accept ‘third-country’ deportees from the US. Starting this month, individuals from various parts of the world, many of whom reportedly possess US court orders protecting them from being returned to their home countries due to safety risks, will be flown to a temporary reception facility in Central Africa. While the DRC government insists the deal carries no cost to its national treasury and respects its sovereignty, rights groups have raised alarms. Critics question how a nation already grappling with a brutal internal conflict and millions of its own displaced citizens can safely house international migrants. The deal emerges as the White House attempts to broker a fragile peace between the DRC and Rwanda, which has reportedly been supporting the M23 rebels.
