Gambian-Sierra Leonean Woman Seeks Help to Find Mother Missing for 16 Years
Osman Koroma A Sierra Leonean woman living in Gambia is appealing to the public for help in locating her mother who disappeared 16 years ago.
Fatu Sahr Songa, born to a Sierra Leonean woman, shared her story on social media, explaining that her mother, Musu Songa from Kenema, left Gambia to return to Sierra Leone with her younger sister. Since then, Fatu has not heard from her mother.
