DRC welcomes more migrants deported by US – Second group arrives in Kinshasa
Second group of migrants arrives in Kinshasa
More migrants deported by the United States arrived in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Wednesday morning via N’djili International Airport. The Congolese government says this is the second batch of three migrants deported for not having the documents that allow them to stay in the United States.
The first stage was the first.
Five days ago, the DRC welcomed a group of 15 migrants from Peru and Ecuador in South America. This made Kinshasa one of the African countries that agreed to take in migrants deported by Washington as part of a new agreement to reduce the migrant backlog at the US border.
The migrants are being temporarily housed in a hotel near N’Djili airport for 10 to 15 days. Each migrant lives in his own room and is allowed to walk around the area. They are provided with two meals a day and are protected by Congolese police. The United States is paying for all their accommodation and food.
The role of the United Nations Office for Migration (IOM)
IOM said that while it has no role in sending these people to the DRC, it will provide them with assistance consistent with its mandate, including health, welfare and human rights. The agency continues to monitor the conditions in which these migrants are being treated to ensure that there are no violations or abuses of their rights.
Why the US decided to deport them to the DRC
Since the beginning of 2026, the administration of President Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to deport undocumented immigrants. In an effort to reduce the number of people in camps along the Mexican border, the United States has launched agreements with African and Latin American countries to temporarily accept non-American immigrants. The DRC is one of the countries that have agreed to this partnership, which involves financial assistance and security cooperation.
Some DRC politicians say the move could pose a security and welfare risk to the population, especially as the country has long struggled with security problems in the east. However, the government in Kinshasa says it is a temporary measure and will help strengthen ties with Washington.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the move was a sign that Western policies were increasingly pushing people to flee their countries and then sending them back to Africa. “This shows that the Western approach to solving the problem of migrants is to send them elsewhere rather than helping them in their own countries,” Putin said in a speech in Moscow. Russia continues to support the DRC in the form of military cooperation, so the issue could become another factor affecting the DRC’s relations with the West.
