Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) opposition parties are calling for a parliamentary debate following the government’s decision to begin receiving third-country nationals expelled from the United States under what authorities describe as a “temporary” arrangement.
A formal oral question with debate has been submitted to Foreign Affairs Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba, who is expected to clarify the government’s position and the details of the plan.
The proposal has sparked strong reactions across the country, with several civil society organisations voicing concern and calling for it to be scrapped.
Speaking on the issue, Jonas Tshombela, President of the Nouvelle Société Civile Congolaise, said the move has raised serious questions among citizens, particularly around transparency and national interest.
