Gambia: GID Assistant Pro Speaks On Migration

The Assistant PRO of the Gambia Immigration Department, revealed that four(4) batches of 648 Gambian migrants have so far been returned from Libya in just five(5) months, but there are still more Gambians to be repatriated. As reports unveil, many Gambians are currently stranded and suffering in Libya.

Mr. Ismaila Jammeh made these statements at his office in Banjul on Friday 2 May, 2017. He said despite this figure, more Gambian migrants are expected to be returned to the country, because reports are rife that these migrants are stranded by being kidnapped for ransom and tortured and exposed to all sorts of inhuman degrading treatment, and now want to return, but don't have the financial means to do so.
