Thousands of migrants stranded in Agadez

Thousands of people on move are stranded in Agadez, Dr Chehou Azizou  the founder of the local Non-Governmental Organization Jeunesse Nigérienne au Service du Développement Durable JNSDD AIKIN KASA, in Niger Republic, has said.

He noted that the migrants  still have hope that the current situation will change. “Desperate people are waiting to return back home after they experienced nightmares. Disabled and injured ones receive assistance from our courageous ground teams. In fact, there are families who won’t see their dearest because they are buried somewhere in the desert or drown after shipwrecks.

“The dilemma is those families still keep faith that one day they will meet their loved ones. It is an opportunity to congratulate Niger population and authorities in general and particularly Agadez local communities because of their resilience despite all the challenges they face. They develop strongly the solidarity with people on move. The general social context doesn’t spare any person. But they share love with victims of racism and pray for better future conditions that African continent lives.”
