How many people from Albania live in Africa?

According to the United Nations, 1,660 people from Albania live in Africa.

In total, 1,140,000 people from Albania live abroad, and about 1% of them live in Africa.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Albania in Africa

On Compatri, people from Albania already meet in Alger.

In total, 2 members take part.

Joining the Albania community in Africa

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

The Albania diaspora elsewhere in the world

Elsewhere, the Albania diaspora also lives in Italy, Greece, and France. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
