three years now here in Europe, and I can not account for one euro. they think here is gold and they are ready to give their lives in exchange?
millions are out of what here, what are they going to don for Whitman here? paying traffickers thousands of dollars to get here?

My heart breaks so much seeing this and particularly beacuse I live in Italy and you can’t just imagine how the Italians perceive an average black person; either a prostitute, poor or just being an unfortunate being. But the truth is ANYONE who can afford 7000 dollars, go through the jungle and risk his life on a mediterran sea WILL and CAN make it in any african country. It just a shame, shame, shame! Maybe I will write a book someday on this!
