US President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly plans to deport nearly two dozen people, including at least two Iranian women, to the Central African Republic.
Sources said the flight was expected to include migrants from Afghanistan and Syria who had sought refuge in the US.
It would mark the first such deportation to the very poor African nation, that has been plagued by violence, human rights abuses, and conflict.
The US State Department, on its website, advises citizens to not travel to the CAR “for any reason”.
Washington and Bangui nevertheless recently reached a deal to accept so-called third-country deportees from the US.
