On April 26, 2026, over 100 Guinean nationals arrived in Conakry from Morocco as part of a voluntary repatriation program, according to reports from local media and the Guinean government. The returnees, who had been living in Morocco irregularly, were flown back with the assistance of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The repatriation is part of ongoing efforts by the Guinean government and international partners to address irregular migration and provide support for returning citizens. The returnees were received at Ahmed Sékou Touré International Airport by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the IOM.
Each returnee received a reintegration package, including financial assistance and counseling, to help them resettle in Guinea. The IOM has been working with the Guinean government to facilitate safe and dignified returns for migrants who choose to leave Morocco voluntarily.
This operation follows a trend of increasing returns from North African countries, as many Guineans seek to return home due to economic challenges or difficulties in regularizing their status abroad. The exact number of returnees was reported as 104 by some sources, though official figures may vary.
