Burundi

Burundi has agreed to accept migrants deported from the United States who are not its own citizens, under a 'third-country' deportation arrangement pursued by the Trump administration. The deal makes Burundi one of a small group of African and other nations willing to receive deportees sent to countries they have no ties to. Observers are questioning the terms of the agreement and the safety of those sent there.

Burundi has announced it will accept migrants deported from the United States, but officials have given few specifics about how many people could be returned or under what conditions. The pledge makes Burundi one of the African countries willing to take deportees as the US expands removals to third countries, and questions remain about timing, screening and treatment of those sent back.
