Voices from the sea

In my own words:

“I only understand now, that we had no chance in this wooden boat”

In my own words:

“We have no chance in that society in Guinea Conakry”

In my own words:

“I want to go to school”

In my own words:

Europe – the last hope for the rescued

In my own words:

A tale of escape

In my own words:

“I decided that it was better to die at sea than to live near a person who was going to kill me”

In my own words:

“We have no other choice”

In my own words:

“Since I’ve been here on this boat, I’ve started to forget. And that feels so good.”

In my own words:

Mamadou’s story

In my own words:

“I spent six months in prison, without food, without medicine”

In my own words:

“You wake up to the sound of shooting, you go to bed to the sound of shooting”

In my own words:

“Here, on the boat, is the first time they’ve seen so many other people”
