Burundian security launched an operation to round up all Congolese staying on its territory without residence permissions

 

Burundi has reportedly launched search operations and the tracking of Congolese living on its territory without a residence visa.

According to witnesses on the ground, these young people are taken from neighborhoods and loaded into trucks of the Burundian national police PNB.

The collective of Congolese students in Bujumbura calls on its members to be cautious, to have the documents and says it is fighting for the release of those already arrested.

While a control of documents is claimed, fear reigns in the class of Congolese living or having taken refuge in Burundi.
