Story summary

Burundi agreed on Tuesday to accept migrants deported from the United States, but only if these individuals have no criminal background or links to terrorism. Nancy Ninette Mutoni, a spokesperson for President Évariste Ndayishimiye, made this announcement in Ngozi, Burundi. The decision comes amid Washington's practice of deporting immigrants to third countries like Burundi where they often lack any previous ties, sometimes resulting in indefinite detention and costing tens of millions of dollars. Mutoni did not provide specific details about the number of migrants or financial arrangements, emphasizing that serious planning is required for accommodation and integration into local communities.
