What do you expect people in struggling countries to do when they see that there are better opportunities elsewhere?
Just a question:
Not long ago I watched a very interesting documentation about a group of people
(they concentrated on a young woman here though) from a country in central Africa during their odyssey over the continent to their dream Europa.
It was horrible! She left two little children back home, the journey was paid with lots of hard cash, she had to travel for months on a rattly van, always hungry, always thirsty...many died along the way....two times their handler left them to die for in the desert...a new handler wanted to be paid anew...on the sea at last now the dangerous trip with a leaky boat awaits her, did I mention that another handler wanted to be paid?
In conclusion this woman put so much energy, so much fight and not at last so much money
(thousands of dollar) into her dream just to end up as a prostitute if she makes as an illegal alien into Europe at all that is that I always wanted to ask her why she doesn't put all that energy and all that money into a life at home???
She would had been better off..not to mention her children!
PS: Just for your info - she didn't make it! The police got her after her boat crashed on an an european island!
Back to Africa for her...will she try it again? Probably...Will it help her or her country? Probably not!
