00:00Burundi's become the latest African nation to agree to accept people deported by the United States to countries that are
00:07not their own.
00:08The announcement came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court said it would allow third-country deportation to continue pending
00:15a court case.
00:20As you heard, His Excellency the President said in an interview with France 24 that Burundi would receive people deported
00:29from the United States.
00:31But he made it clear that Burundi would accept only people who are not facing criminal prosecution and have no
00:38links to terrorism.
00:43She said preparations were underway to provide accommodation and help the deportees live in local communities, saying this required serious
00:52planning.
00:55The first benefit is that Burundi has long welcomed people facing hardship.
01:01This will also strengthen cooperation with other countries.
01:07People need one another, and Burundi attaches great importance to peace and good relations.
01:17Mutoni did not say how many deportees Burundi agreed to receive or when they would arrive.
01:22A U.N. report says sending migrants to countries they don't come from can have deadly consequences and must be
01:28halted.
