There will be more deportation of Gambians by German authorities, according to reliable sources.

A deportation alert for Gambians in Germany, which was seen by The Point was released yesterday.

Confirming these developments, Mr Yaya Morro Yapha, Gambian migration activist based in Germany, who has been campaigning against forced deportation of Gambians by European countries, especially Germany, said: “There have already been a chartered deportation flight to The Gambia recently as I understand, and, sure, expectantly there will be a lot of chartered deportation flights going to The Gambia in which the majority of Gambians living in Baden-Württenberg can be deported.”

As per Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, a German foundation, there are over 16,000 Gambians in Germany – 70% are in the region of Baden-Württemberg. It’s stated that 4,240 Gambians have no longer the right to stay in Germany and will get deported.

Since 2018 to date, Germany alone has deported more than 500 Gambians back home.

However, this seems to be not enough for the Germans, and Germany is planning to deport more Gambians, according to migration activists based in that country.
