No repatriation agreement between Germany and Gambia!

Some media have reported that Gambian President Adama Barrow and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier have signed a repatriation agreement for 1500 Gambians. Responding to a question from us, staff at the German Foreign Office and the President's Office confirmed that these reports are untrue. As soon as we have written confirmation from the President's office, we will publish it here. Despite this, there were individual deportations to Gambia this year. 15 people were deported to Gambia from Baden-Württemberg this year. The district government (Regierungspräsidium) of Karlsruhe as the authority responsible for carrying out deportations confirmed this information in reply to an enquiry by the Refugee Council (Flüchtlingsrat) of Baden-Württemberg. read more
