Gambians living in Angola have called on the President Adama Barrow government do something about Gambian immigrants who are currently languishing in prisons in Angola.
It comes as the Gambian consul in Angola, Haji Jawara, early November told The Fatu Network that Gambians were being arrested in that country.
A Gambian immigrant in Angola speaking to The Fatu Network on Monday said “three Gambian citizens are arrested and been imprisoned in a province in Angola called Malange.”
“These Gambians have been arrested since October 3. We are really concerned about them since they have no one to stand up to their case,” the Gambian immigrant speaking on condition of anonymity said.
According to him, the Gambian consular to Angola is aware of the issue but has so far failed to take any steps.
“Mauritanians living in Angola were faced with a similar problem but their government has intervened. We want our own government to come to our aid,” he said.
