Lost Children
“I pray to god that my children are doing well and that one day they will return home,” Doris says breaking into tears. In 2017, an “agent” told Doris that he had a “program” in Europe for her children . He told her that first they should go to #Dakar for an interview to then depart towards the “Eldorado”.
Her 32 years daughter left to the interview with her two sons of 11 and 7 years old. Doris did not get any news from them for several weeks, until one day she receives a phone call from her daughter: “Mother, we arrived in #Tripoli ”, and the call was cut off. This was the last time she has heard the voice of her daughter. A few months later, she receives a call from the “agent” telling that her children died in a car accident in Italy. She has never seen any documents proofing their death.
She has filed a case against the agent in #Freetown, but no one was ever held accountable and condemned guilty for her three missing children.
#MigrantsAsMessengers volunteers recorded Doris testimony during the Content Creation Workshop in Bo, Sierra Leone . Watch the video to find out more!
