 Maybe going to Europe is your dream, but it's definitely not mine, or at least not anymore. Like more than 7 million Africans, I decided to leave my country, but to stay in Africa. Why? Because I was not willing to risk my life crossing the desert and the sea. Because I was not willing to die for an El Dorado that doesn't exist. Because I was not willing to be trafficked, abused or killed. Because my parents need me alive. When things got tough at home, I decided to go to Europe. It did not go as planned, but along the way, I've learnt many lessons. Perhaps the most important one was that, whatever you're looking for abroad, you can find it here. In Africa.
