DRC residents question plan to host US deportees: Video
Residents in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, have raised concerns over a government plan to receive deportees from the United States, citing ongoing insecurity in the country’s eastern region.
Locals say the area is already struggling with conflict involving armed groups, which has displaced millions and strained resources. Analysts have also questioned whether the country has the capacity to host additional people given its fragile conditions. While authorities say the arrangement will be supported by the US and place no financial burden on the state, the decision has sparked mixed reactions among residents worried about safety and stability.
