Settlements began to disappear until it became just a stretch of desert land. Night fell on us... Breathing became a struggle because of the intense heat, so I couldn’t imagine West African immigrants coming this far. A co-traveler sitting behind me must have noticed how hard I stared at the sign and he told me that some immigrants attempt to trek into countries that are at the tip of North Africa—as close to Europe as possible. They walk with gallons of water and whatever food they could hold on to for survival. How anybody could make it this far without tons of money and network was unfathomable. Some die in the journey. Some are captured, arrested or beaten and stripped of their monies, he concluded. - Unoma Azuah
