African states must refuse to be complicit with the USA’s policy of ‘third country removals’
On 12 June, a group of 17 people – among them Turks, Afghans and Iranians – were forcibly removed from the United States and flown to Bangui, in the Central African Republic (CAR), a country where they have no ties and whose language they do not speak. According to Third Country Deportation Watch, all but one of these people had been granted protection in the US from being forcibly returned to their home country. Yet being sent back to their country of origin is what they risked once arrived in Bangui, in breach of the principle of non-refoulement under international law. More than 100 people have been put on planes by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and sent to third countries in Africa over the past year. This inhumane, unlawful policy not only violates the due process guarantees that individuals are entitled to before removal, but it also exposes them to human rights violations in the country they are being transferred to. The Central African Republic is one of 13 sub-Saharan African countries known to have signed a third-country removal agreement with the US – joining the ranks of Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Ghana, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda. These agreements with third countries enable the US government to remove people it wants out of its territory – even, and including, those who are in the midst of their immigration proceedings and who have been granted legal protection preventing their return to their country of origin because of the risk of torture there. African leaders must speak out against US unlawful third country removals which are discriminatory and contrary to human rights. Marceau Sivieude and Tigere Chagutah Racial profiling These harmful removals are the culmination of the Trump administration’s cruel and racist anti-immigrant policies, which continue to spread terror among migrants and others with protection concerns, as well as racialized communities who face arrest based on racial profiling. More than 10 people have been shot and killed during enforcement actions by ICE officers, thousands of migrants and asylum seekers have been detained, including children, in dire conditions lacking adequate sanitation and medical care. Over 50 people have died in detention since January 2025. People also face immense difficulties in challenging the forced removal orders against them. Many have even been forcibly removed whilst their cases were still under review by a court. Those removed to African countries, in breach of their rights, suffer further violations of their human rights in the host country. They are deprived of their liberty in prisons, hotels, airports and other places, such as the Bundase military camp in Ghana, where 11 individuals were held in poor conditions for around two weeks in September 2025 before being forcibly transferred to Togo. In many cases documented by Amnesty International, people who are moved to African countries do not have access to independent legal representation. In Eswatini, four of the first people transferred from the US were denied in-person access to a local lawyer for nine months until the Supreme Court upheld an order requiring the authorities to grant such access. In South Sudan, people have been arbitrarily detained for almost a year in an undisclosed location with no physical access to their lawyers. In Cameroon, a lawyer seeking to represent removed individuals was arbitrarily arrested. In some documented cases, as in Sierra Leone, removed individuals are unable to apply for asylum. In others, they may face danger due to their sexual orientation in countries where homosexuality is criminalized. There is a lack of transparency and due process surrounding the handling of their cases and the decisions that can lead them to be sent back to danger in their country of origin. These third country agreements appear all the more shameful and cynical for being part of a US immigration policy that discriminates against nationals of sub-Saharan African countries Marceau Sivieude and Tigere Chatugah Agreements signed behind closed doors These human rights violations stem from the secrecy around third country agreements which are signed behind closed doors, and generally not made fully public. In some cases, including Ghana and Sierra Leone, these agreements have not been scrutinized by national parliaments. In a report published on 13 February, US senators stated that more than US$32 million had been paid directly to five third countries, three of which are in Africa, in return for the removals. Diplomatic sources quoted by the Wall Street Journal stated that the signing of these agreements was part of the discussions on trade relations between the US and African countries. Many of these agreements are part of broader political negotiations characterized by asymmetrical power. For example, Liberia, Rwanda, and Uganda signed third-country removals agreements, and managed to secure US investments into their health sector. These third country agreements appear all the more shameful and cynical for being part of a US immigration policy that discriminates against nationals of sub-Saharan African countries. In December 2025, out of a total of 39 targeted countries, nationals from 12 sub-Saharan countries were subject to a total ban on entry to US territory, whilst those from 14 countries were subject to a partial ban – restrictions and obstacles that were brought to light during the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup. The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights adopted a resolution in November 2025 calling on African states not to enter into or maintain migration partnerships where there is a real risk of serious human rights violations. African leaders must speak out against US unlawful third country removals which are discriminatory and contrary to human rights. They must also guarantee the protection of the rights of people forcibly removed in their countries as well as refugees, asylum seekers and migrants on their own soil. No financial contribution or potential pressure to sign these agreements should justify African states’ complicity with the USA’s policy of ‘third country removals’.
