For the first time ever, this journalist managed to get inside a boat trafficking Africans to Yemen, the first stage of their journey to the West. Over 100 people were crammed in with him on the 30 foot boat. Denied food or water for the three day journey and without even room to move, they became ill and dehydrated. The traffickers kept them under control by regularly beatings and throw anyone overboard who complains. When they approach the shore, the refugees are forced to jump into the sea and swim to shore. Many can't swim or are so exhausted they drown. It's estimated that 40% of those who attempt the journey never make it. This is their story.

RESPECT to the journalist...job brilliant done...some of my cousins(teenagers) took the same journey,some made to Europe and some of their friends died.Most of them knew the journey was hell but they'll tell you they rather took the chance than stay in Mogadishu and live in hell as well...Total insanity.

Peace will prevail in somalia soon.INSHAALAH

Thank you. it is true that we are all free the minute we took our first breath. I had to leave vietnam this manner at 9yrs old to look for my long lost mother. And we were all treated the same way as your people. Our smugglers was triad member although there were few of them but they were being cruel to control water and orders by using psychlogical tactics to intimidate us. I also think that people does not appreciate freedom because they dont know wat its like to not hav

@cam9408 Ha, go die somewhere cold and alone. It's people like you who kill a nation - those who know nor conscience nor facts or compassion. It's lowlifes and fucks like you who make this existence petty and idiotic for those unfortunate enough to live alongside the likes of you.

Escaping poverty at all costs, do or die mentality. There are very high risks with this sort of travel but thousands do not hesitate to take the journey for a better opportunity.
