We have conducted several dialogues with the German government, and they are willing to support us so that our youths will not be deported always.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years we have intervened in many instances where people are taken to deportation camps, we engaged the authorities and they were released to go back to their workplaces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Zakaria Sowe alias Zakz, the Public Relations Officer of the association said the Gambian government is not putting more effort to protect the welfare of its citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur government is not doing much to support the citizens. Gambian youths are hardworking and even the German government recommended that but back home the leaders are not supporting,\u201d Zakz asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that Gambian youths all over Europe are known to be committed to their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe German government has given the Gambian migrants the opportunity to stay and learn skills to regularize their status. They give the Gambian government the opportunity to come up with a master plan so they can work together as two nations but unfortunately, the Gambian government has failed to materialize their side of the plan,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further on diverse topics, Zakz noted that during winter other nationals will not go to work, but Gambians will sacrifice in the snow to go to work.<\/p>\n<p>This, he added, has helped Gambians to get the trust of white people. \u201cThe problem is our leaders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Gambia Refugees Association was formed after the beginning of mass deportation in Germany some years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The list of Gambian migrants who are awaiting deportation has not been disclosed to press, but it is scheduled for March 9th according to the refugees association assistant chairman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
