Sierra Leone on Wednesday became the latest African country to receive migrants expelled from the United States under President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
A first plane carrying nine West African migrants landed Wednesday morning at the international airport just outside Freetown, an AFP journalist saw.
“We have received nine deportees this morning from the US,” Foreign Minister Timothy Musa Kabba told AFP, after initially saying 25 migrants would arrive.
The deportees are from Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea and Senegal, according to authorities.
