His fight is progressing but it is not won.

Under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) in mid-February, Bangaly Soumah was granted a delay until the summer.

This young Guinean apprentice-carpenter, around whom the mobilization has grown in recent days, will be granted a reprieve by the Loire-Atlantique prefecture.

"We are going to send Mr. Soumah a provisional residence permit valid for six months, indicates his services at

20 Minutes

this Tuesday morning.

This APS will be sent to him by mail in the coming days, accompanied by an order repealing the OQTF.

"

Described as "serious" and "integrated"

This Tuesday, more than 20,000 people had already signed the petition asking for the regularization of this young man, currently on a work-study contract in a company in Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire, and described as "serious" and "integrated".

Bangaly Soumah, 18, in Nantes since 2018, had seen his residence permit refused after doubts about his civil status.

An incomprehensible situation for his host and his boss, ready to hire him later, at the origin of this surge of solidarity.

An appeal, which should be studied in the coming months, has also been filed.
