NTV Investigates: Dreams and nightmares Pt. 1

http://www.ntv.co.ke
It is said to be Africa's largest human trafficking syndicate. Its route stretches all the way from Southern Ethiopia to South Africa. It is an illegal trade involving immigration officers and human traffickers, churning up to 200 millions shillings from desperate Ethiopians, fleeing economic hardship. Some make it in through that long journey south, while others end up in Kenyan jails. In the first of a three-part series, 'Dreams and Nightmares,' NTV's Yassin Juma begins our coverage of this illicit trade from the border town of Moyale.

Its sad. In theory & on paper, Ethiopians actually DO NOT need a visa or entry permit to enter or travel through Kenya & vice versa. Yet, Kenyan authorities choose to ignore such an accord & leave poor young Ethiopians in search of a better life elsewhere at the mercy of their hayena-like police! I think we Ethiopians should RE-EXAMINE our attitude towards Kenyans. May be we should INVADE them (it wouldn't take us more than a day or two to occupy Nairobi itself)! Raise Ethiopians & take Nairobi!

Kenyans have no qualms with Ethiopians who treat Kenyans with a lot of respect unlike Somalis who refer to Kenyans as slaves.

These police officers probably even robbed these Ethiopians. Ethiopians are our brothers. Reffering to them as alieans might make one think that they are from Mars etc. Why add agony to their suffering?

i have nothing against the ethiopians but kenya police has always been the root of all evil in kenya,followed by immigration,am glad to say that i have met an ethiopian with a kenyan passport that he told me he bought,it is sad that the most crucial institutions in the country of kenya are the most corrupt!!!!!

@TheOkao

I am really trying to validate your statement that the whole continent should disregard the reenforcing the borders, but what would you say when you consider the al-shabaab and the like?? Keep the borders open for the too since this is one continent??

[TheOkao3]

how can u be illegal in your own continent,africa should open up the borders 4 free movement ,one id card for all africans

@mngopa

thank youuuu...i wish u could say that again louder.....dont get people sometimes...how can u call them aliens...dont we realize that it could be us..

[mngopa]

leave these people alone.

and quit calling them illegal aliens. This is Africa. it is their home, boundaries are artificial and unAfrican. We are not the west. nkt

[Dbuyaki]

Now kenyans are behaving like the west, like there is anything people are dying to get from kenya, Ethiopians, those policemen arresting you probably have worse lives than you. Kenya is not a place to flee to. I would have been okay with the video but calling people illegal aliens when the kenyan government itself is a fake ass pice of shit that has run the country nto poverty. Poleni sana. I am kenyan by the way. Kenya has been officially made poor by its leaders.
