EU escalates row with Gambia over expelled migrants

The EU could tighten visa requirements for Gambians following Banjul’s refusal to accept deportees from Germany. Experts say Gambia’s decision to reject its citizens could have wider consequences. The European Union is mulling over Gambia’s decision to deny landing permits to flights carrying Gambian deportees from EU countries — particularly Germany. More than 2,000 Gambian migrants who have exhausted their asylum appeals in Germany are awaiting repatriation (source: Infomigrants)
