A total of 20 citizens from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe were repatriated in April this year to their respective countries, by the Angolan Immigration and Foreigners Services (SME) in eastern Moxico province, for illegally entering the national territory.

According to a source from the SME Information and Analysis department, two Zimbabweans were repatriated through the Jumbi border post, in Alto Zambeze district, and 18 Congolese nationals returned across the Luau post.

The source added that those repatriated intended to reach the country's capital (Luanda), to deal in trade and search for better living conditions.

Moxico shares a border of 1,077 kilometres with the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia, with 11 border posts controlled, including three fluvial ones in the districts of Luau, Bundas and Alto Zambeze.
