Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The process has been closely overseen by Uganda’s State Minister for Labour, Employment, and Industrial Relations, Hon.<\/b><\/p>\n

In a significant development, more than 50 stranded Ugandan migrant workers have been successfully repatriated from Saudi Arabia, following a concerted effort between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Ugandan government.<\/p>\n

These workers, who had been detained for minor charges or were residing in the country without proper work permits, are part of ongoing efforts to bring relief to Ugandans facing difficult circumstances abroad.<\/p>\n

The process has been closely overseen by Uganda’s State Minister for Labour, Employment, and Industrial Relations, Hon.<\/p>\n

Esther Anyakun, who has been in Saudi Arabia for the past ten days. Alongside her, Uganda\u2019s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Zaake Kibedi, and Senior Presidential Advisor on Diaspora Affairs, Ambassador Abbey Walusimbi, have been working diligently to facilitate the repatriation.<\/p>\n

On his official X platform, Ambassador Abbey Walusimbi shared the news, stating: \u201cAs a gesture of goodwill, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has expedited the repatriation of distressed Ugandan migrant workers. Yesterday, 50 returned to add to a total of 130.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ongoing repatriation process has brought much-needed relief to Ugandan families anxiously awaiting the return of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

Walusimbi also noted that efforts to support migrant workers would extend to other countries in the region, including the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Iraq, Oman, and Turkey.<\/p>\n

The objective is to ensure that workers who are detained or stranded in deportation centers across these nations are given a chance to return to Uganda safely.<\/p>\n

As more workers are repatriated, the Ugandan government, in partnership with organizations like the International Organization for Migration (IOM), is committed to offering support services such as counseling, reintegration programs, and assistance with resettlement for returning migrants.<\/p>\n

The government is optimistic that these efforts will continue to alleviate the challenges faced by Ugandan migrant workers abroad.<\/p>\n
