Since January 2025, approximately 65,000 people have arrived in Burundi from the Democratic Republic of Congo, with over 56,000 in need of international protection. The displaced include rural and urban populations fleeing conflict, internally displaced persons from the DRC, and some Burundians returning from transit or cross-border work. Most arrivals are Congolese from Bukavu, Saké, Minova, and Goma, where the situation is deteriorating. In response, the Minister of the Interior has granted prima facie refugee status to those seeking protection.
