The Congolese people are the largest group: they are 75,000. Comparatively most black migrants come from Rwanda, however: about 18,000. There are only about 600 Ugandans in Belgium, mostly in Flanders.
Students and asylum seekers
In the colonial period Congolese, Rwandans and Burundians did not get the right to travel to Belgium. So the influx is mainly a post-colonial phenomenon. Most black migrants came to Belgium as a student or as an asylum seeker.
