Congolese immigration to Brazil from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a new phenomenon caused by the wars and conflicts in the country, causing many to flee the country.[4]
The Congolese people in Brazil are found mostly in the favelas or the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.[4][5]
The Congolese people are one of the most underpaid immigrants in Brazil. They also have to deal with violence, racism and xenophobia.[3][2]
