Africans, Syrians and Afghans in TRNC were not issued work permit, there will be massive raiding next week for unregistered people
According to the information obtained; The Labor Department does not issue work permits to Africans, Syrians, and Afghan citizens within the framework of a state decision.
It is stated that although African origins are employed in many constructions, municipal tenders, industrial areas and even restaurants, the state is deprived of insurance and tax revenues because most are unregistered.
Attention is drawn to the importance of acting together with the Ministries of Education, Interior and Labor, and university officials, to act against foreigners of African origin, who make the public uneasy.
Ecevit Alper, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, drew attention to the fact that the number of 3rd world citizens currently registered is 19 thousand people.
Alper stated that no preliminary permit or work permit has been issued for Afghanistan, Syria, Nigeria and other Africans, and pointed out that the citizens of these countries are not given an entry visa to the TRNC.
Alper also pointed out that people belonging to this country are only allowed to enter the TRNC under student status.
Alper drew attention to the fact that the solution to the increase in Africans observed in informal life can only be achieved in two ways.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and the Ministry of National Education, YODAK and a working group to be formed by universities, a solution could be found for the increase in African or Nigerian nationals observed in informal life.
Alper said that the Ministry of Labor and Social Security also carries out serious studies on informality in general, and on unregistered workers of African or Nigerian origin, who are frequently on the agenda of the public.
Alper said, We will go out to the field with the teams next week.
We will strictly control the informal life with an audit team that will include the press. We also continue to work on people of African descent, who are observed to increase in informal life, that came to the country under student status and are channeled into informal working life.

Incident in Hamitköy
An incident that took place in the Hamitköy region of Lefkosa at around 03:00 yesterday morning brought the citizens to the point of revolt. When loud noises came from the apartment rented by three Nigerian women, citizens who warned the police about 'prostitution and drugs' said that they had been unable to sleep for months.
It was seen that more than 50 Nigerians came out of the flat where the police raided instead of 3 people. It was seen that the 3-person police team that went to the scene had difficulty in collecting more than 50 Nigerians.
A resident said, “We've all been devastated for months. We were unable to sleep, and we often did not get a response to our complaints. If more than 50 people leave a small apartment, it is not difficult to understand what kind of business is going on here. Our government should take this issue seriously and find a solution,” he said.
The resident said, “Believe me, we are considering leaving the country in the face of this situation.”
