Migration Policy Protests Continue In Kinshasa

WBUR Boston Kinshasa 14d14d Impact 5

A Colombian man reported being forcibly deported from the United States despite being in the process of seeking protection from removal. Demonstrators are angered by the arrival of Latin Americans and reports that the US administration may send Afghans to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The US administration has not yet responded to inquiries regarding whether 1,100 Afghans will be sent to the country. Some of these displaced individuals previously worked alongside U.S. The administration was recently questioned at the White House regarding a potential plan to send 1,100 Afghans to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many deportees interviewed said they would prefer to return to their home countries despite the risks rather than remain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They remain in a state of uncertainty regarding their next steps in an unfamiliar country.

They remain in a state of uncertainty regarding their next steps in an unfamiliar country. One Ecuadorian man described the process as human trafficking, stating he feels as if he has been bought and sold. The deportees are currently receiving assistance from the International Organization for Migration. The Congolese government claims the stay is temporary and funded by the US. One Colombian woman reported that none of the deportees fully understand the situation or their future status. The individuals lack passports and claim their home governments have not guaranteed their safety.
