‘Suedwestpresse’ says that five years ago a young Gambian man in his late teens was accepted as refugee. The German government agreed that the young man really was threatened by persecution in his country back then. Anyway five years later he is in his early twenties, speaks the official language of Germany fluently, has a job, has many friends and never committed a crime, never even bothered anybody. And yet there are plans to send him baclk to this least developed country as they think he won’t be threatened by persecution anymore if he goes back to where he came from.

The German newspaper ‘Suedwestpresse’ says that a former refugee from Gambia accidentally drowned while taking a swim in a lake, a big pond or a river in Germany. Many people in Germany knew this young man as he was the apprentice of a baker from here. So people started fundraising to collect enough money for him to be buried on a cemetery in his Gambian home village. After all he still had friends and family there. Luckily they succeeded and he received a burial in Gambia.

‘Domradio’ says that Senegal, Mauretania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Benin, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Togo – and some other countries that are not least developed countries – currently suffer under a great drought that may cause a famine within the next few months.

“Tagesschau” says that in Kafuta a small village in West-Gambia all young men have left and now try to improve their situation as refugees in the EU or somewhere else. Some also gained this status within Gambia or in a neighboring country. By doing so however they left behind a village that consists mostly of children, elderly people and women who never had a proper education let alone an apprenticeship. Needless to say this situation resulted in Kafuta’s economy being at the lowest point it could possibly be.

Re-upload: My first comment reuploaded: As far as I’m informed, this photo shows Gambian street children after they got help from an organisation. If you want to get involved, too – or maybe want to get informed of NOT ONLY one organisation that helps them, then you should visit the following website: “http://www.crin.org/organisations/vieworg.asp?id=987”.
