Increasing numbers of Algerian youths are risking their lives to migrate to Europe. President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who is seeking his third term, has promised to create three million jobs if re-elected. But many youths lack faith in their septuagenarian leader. Despite two failed attempts to reach Europe, 28-year-old Sofiane hopes that one day he will make it to "the promised land".

  • This guy is dressed up and lives better than at least half of all Unemployed people in Europe ... are they mad or what? The guy had a car, odd jobs, and lives at the parents without paying rent .... lol, I think these Algerian kids are spoiled, does he want to be CEO or what? They probably did not even finish school and still they complain

  • These people do not suffer from poverty. Look at them, their appartments aren't bad and they are not malnourished.

    What they suffer from is a terrible lack of freedom, lack of perspective, lack of hope, lack of enthusiasm and personal prosperity....

    Everything that accompanies Islam.

    But most Algerians are brainwashed enough to want to establish just this mindset in Europe once they get there.

    And stupid Europeans accommodate...

  • @MartialartsDog AGREE!!! Algerian martyrs died for nothing.Now I hope these gangsters have some sleepless nights after recent events .

  • @XCHILLED08X Algeria should never had been granted independence from France.

  • Algerians are all muslim crazy suicide bombers

  • What a shame! Algerians should stand up for their rights instead of risking their lives to escape poverty .This mafia government has made an oil rich country like Algeria one of the poorest in the world .May God have mercy on these thieves!

  • Well paradise, I don't know about that, people here in the UK are miserable they drink , drink and drink and take drugs that all they do, to escape from themselves cause they hate themselves to much and too many of them end up killing themselves . paradise well it's hell hell and Satan is taking everyone for a ride with him. it's only in illusion, follse hope, elso satan makes to get you on the ride.

  • in a country like Algeria were the generals roll and eat all the pie .young people like those in this video risk there lives to make it to the promised land.they lie to us and spend our money to support polesario and most of the Algerian people starve to death.

    our government helps others and we at home need help more than anybody else.
