The claim
日本の4市がアフリカ諸国のものになり、移民が流入?
Original review summary
The review says the four cities were designated as “JICA Africa Hometowns” to strengthen exchanges, not transferred to African countries. It also says JICA and the cities rejected claims that the designation involved special visas or promoting immigration.[S1]
Additional context
JICA identified the four city-country pairings as Imabari–Mozambique, Kisarazu–Nigeria, Sanjo–Ghana, and Nagai–Tanzania, and said the initiative would support international exchange. [S1]
