Mohammed Ismail (20, from Sudan). “So far, Europe treated me very well. In Libya if the police takes you to the police station you don't know if you will come out alive. Everybody tries to rob you, you cannot trust anyone but your life is in their hands. Two of the migrants who were traveling with me died at sea while passing from a small overcrowded boat to a bigger even more overcrowded boat. In addition to the months of work in Libya I paid about $2,000 for the trip. It's my family that pushed me to learn English, they knew I would need to go to Europe. I don't do this trip for me but for them; as soon as I find a job I will start to send money to my family.”
