According to its press release, ADHA, alerted directly by the victims, describes a situation of humanitarian distress. These migrants, brutally expelled, face a reality of extreme precariousness, without adequate access to vital resources. Their daily life, described as “degrading” by the organization, demands an immediate response.
A recurring problem
This crisis is reminiscent, we are told, of a similar episode that occurred in 2022, where ADHA assisted in the repatriation of 173 Senegalese in comparable circumstances. This repetition illustrates the persistent flaws in the protection and assistance systems for Senegalese citizens in distress abroad.
An appeal to the Senegalese authorities
Faced with this emergency, ADHA urges the Senegalese government to act quickly in collaboration with the Nigerien authorities to organize the repatriation of migrants. The NGO also calls for a strengthening of consular protection mechanisms to prevent such tragedies in the future.
Collective mobilization necessary
It invites international partners, humanitarian agencies and civil society to support this repatriation operation and contribute to the reintegration of migrants in their country of origin. The organization recalls that this humanitarian crisis is a cry of distress that calls upon the collective conscience, emphasizing the importance of concrete actions to avoid the repetition of these tragedies.
This new episode once again highlights the urgency of finding lasting solutions to protect Senegalese people in vulnerable situations abroad.
