'We Failed To Reach Europe...Now Our Families Disown Us'

Today, I talk about two returnees from Sierra Leone and the horrors they faced in Algeria while trying to reach Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.

The story is from a BBC titled ‘We failed to Reach Europe – Now Our Families Disown Us’ by Tim Whewell (2019).

Love and light,

Khaddija & Lola
