Covid-19: Angolan missionaries return from Kenya

 A group of 19 Angolans who were stranded in the Republic of Kenya due to Covid-19 returned on Saturday to the country in an humanitarian flight from Kenya Airways, organized by the Angolan Embassy in that East African nation.

The New Humanitarian | Africa and the coronavirus: Ready or not?

The group includes nine missionaries from the Catholic Church, four members of the Angolan diplomatic mission in Kenya, five theology students - recently graduated - and one Kenyan resident in Angola, who were unable to return following the suspension of commercial flights.

Speaking to Angop, Friar Wilson Bonito, a theology graduated, said he spent roughly five years in Kenya to complete the training and at the time of his return to Angola he was caught by the restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19.

According to a note from the Angolan Embassy to the Republic of Kenya, the operational costs for the trip were borne by the passengers and the Angolan diplomatic representation.
