Equatorial Guinea diaspora in Gabon

People from Equatorial Guinea in Gabon meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from Equatorial Guinea live in Gabon?

According to the United Nations, 94,400 people from Equatorial Guinea live in Gabon.

As a result, Gabon hosts the largest community from Equatorial Guinea outside the country.

In total, 136,000 people from Equatorial Guinea live abroad, and about 70% of them live in Gabon.

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

Where to meet people from Equatorial Guinea in Gabon

No community for people from Equatorial Guinea exists in Gabon 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 Libreville and Port-Gentil, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Equatorial Guinea community in Gabon

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.
