The Congolese government said on April 5 that it will start receiving U.S. deportees originating from other countries starting this month.
Congo’s Ministry of Communications said the arrangement would be temporary and is part of an agreement with the United States. It did not provide details of the agreement or specify how many third-country deportees will arrive.
