Burundi to Receive Deportees from the United States

Burundi plans to receive people deported from the United States, joining other African countries that have agreed to take similar steps.

The move would add Burundi to the group of destinations in Africa willing to accept deportees from the US. Details of the planned arrangements have not been provided.

The available information does not specify how many people Burundi expects to receive or when any transfers could begin. It also does not identify the nationalities of those who may be sent there.

The terms of their reception, including their legal status and how long they might remain in Burundi, are not outlined in the announcement.
