Fifteen people deported from the US, who are reportedly from South America, have arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This is the first group of an unknown number of people that the US has expelled which the DR Congo had agreed to take in.

The government in Kinshasa has stressed that their stay in the country is only temporary and that Washington is funding "their reception, support and care".

The US has already sent deportees to several other African countries, including Ghana, South Sudan and Eswatini, as part of the crackdown on immigration.
