Attila LAJOS has explained that deportation of undocumented Gambians in Europe needs to take place because leaving them there would be an ‘encouragement’ to many ‘new guys’.
LAJOS made the explanation during an exclusive interview with The Fatu Network on Tuesday.
The EU top diplomat in the country said: “We restarted a few operations early this year and then because of the COVID circumstances, we also suspended such operations. What I want to explain by this is that, the fact that the European Union is very much listening and understanding the challenges in the country.
“On the other hand, we will also have to these operations because if you don’t do such operations, that will be an encouragement for many new guys, many new Gambians to decide on the ‘back way’.
“The ‘back way’ is not the interest of The Gambia, not in the interest of the individual and not in the interest of any receiving state. Not to mention the dangers associated with it.”
