Illegal immigration to Angola

Illegal immigration to Angola has been an issue in the country for many years.[1][2] [3]The Angolan government has cracked down on illegal immigration with deportations.[4][5][6][7][8][9] There have been widespread allegations of abuses, including arbitrary detention, rape and beatings[10][11][12]. It has been noted that many border crossings from the DRC may be in order to visit family or to engage in religious or cultural events since the DRC-Angola border divides certain clans and ethnic groups[13]. In addition, illegal immigrants have been victims of human trafficking.[14]
