How many people from DR Congo live in Europe?
According to the United Nations, 240,000 people from the DR Congo live in Europe.
In total, 2,090,000 people from DR Congo live abroad, and about 11% of them live in Europe.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
Where to meet people from DR Congo in Europe
On Compatri, people from DR Congo already meet in Bruxelles and Liège.
Each community brings together members of the same city, so you meet neighbours rather than a crowd.
In total, 4 members take part.
Other diasporas in Europe
There, the largest diasporas also come from Morocco, Turkey, Kazakhstan, India, and Syria, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the DR Congo community in Europe
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
DR Congo Independence Day in Europe
Every June 30, the national day brings the DR Congo diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
The DR Congo diaspora elsewhere in the world
Elsewhere, the DR Congo diaspora also lives in Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
