A contentious deal between the US and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is set to deport thousands of migrants to a third country, sparking widespread outrage and protests in the DRC. Under the agreement, migrants who have been living in the US will be sent to Rwanda, a neighboring country, where they will face uncertain futures. Critics argue that the deal is a betrayal of the DRC's sovereignty and will put vulnerable migrants at risk of exploitation and persecution. As the deportations are set to begin, the DRC government and human rights groups are speaking out against the agreement, calling for it to be scrapped.
