Refugees and internally displaced persons:
refugees (country of origin): 393,611 (Burundi), 150,112 (Democratic Republic of the Congo) (2006)

Illicit drugs:
growing role in transshipment of Southwest and Southeast Asian heroin and South American cocaine destined for South African, European, and US markets and of South Asian methaqualone bound for southern Africa; money laundering remains a problem
