🇬🇦 Gabon
People from Gabon in Mali meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.
According to the United Nations, 15,600 people from Gabon live in Mali.
Therefore Mali ranks number 2 among the destinations of the Gabon diaspora.
In total, 56,800 people from Gabon live abroad, and about 27% of them live in Mali.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
No community for people from Gabon exists in Mali on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Compatri follows cities such as Bamako, and each one can host its community.
There, the largest diasporas also come from Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Senegal, and Mauritania, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
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.
Every August 17, the national day brings the Gabon diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
According to the UN, about 15,600 people from Gabon live in Mali. Their children born here do not count in this figure.
Communities start where members sign up. If your city is still missing, suggest it: a community often begins with a handful of neighbours.
Join the community of your city on Compatri, then attend the meetups its members organise. You can also host your own event.
According to the UN, the largest ones come from Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Senegal, and Mauritania.
Gabon Independence Day falls on August 17. In Mali too, the diaspora celebrates it every year.
No. Joining your community, discovering nearby members and attending events stays free. The Starter and Advanced plans only add features to go further.
Elsewhere, the Gabon diaspora also lives in France, Republic of the Congo, and Cameroon. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
