Burundi says it will accept US deportees, details unclear
Original: Burundi says it will accept migrant deportees from the United States but details are vague
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.
Why now: The US is pressuring or negotiating with African nations to accept third-country deportations, and this new commitment raises unanswered humanitarian and practical questions.
