How many left – Senegal
Beugue Démm
Dis moi, combien de Pirogues sont parties?
– Every morning there are some that have had enough – They are ready to risk their lives to find something better – They leave in dangerous boats with or without a visa, with or without a passport – How many left?
Emigration
A shout to all of us who sometimes dream about a better place and an easier life
– somewhere else – far away
Tell me, how many boats have left
– and how many of them arrived…
Our Brothers and Sisters try to reach Spain or France or Italy.
I must be strong, I must find another way.
Please don’t enter the boats! Let’s find another solution!
