African migrants risk all in Sahara to reach Europe

In a sandy compound in the Niger desert town of Agadez, a white-turbaned imam blesses a circle of African migrants, some of them little more than boys, to protect them on the journey across the Sahara toward Europe.

A smuggler then gives a signal and the migrants scramble onto a white Toyota Hilux, jostling for a place on the 1,200-km journey to Sabha in southern Libya – a route plagued by bandits and the pitiless desert sun.

Nineteen men pack into the truck for the three-day ride. Those on the edge sit astride a long wooden stick, to prevent them falling off during the night into the Sahara.

But, but, but... I thought Africa was a paradise now that the white man has been removed/marginalized?

Its not at all the PC thing to say these days - but some cultures should fail and be replaced.

I’m sure they will complain how racist Europe is after they arrive.

In saner times, this indeed would have happened.
Now all we do is enable failed cultures by feeding and clothing those unwilling or unable to do it themselves....
Eventually a starvation holocaust will take them out, but not before they waste more of our precious resources. Am I not PC enough?

They go to Europe where they don’t have to fear that Europeans will kill them or rape the women. They will get food and limited shelter. They can get it their entire lives. They can make babies who will enjoy the full benefits of a society which will work hard so they don’t have to.

Not really....they’re all complaining how they’re not provided for once there. So the “welfare Dole” mindset is set to go already.

Despite Niger's passage of a tough new law against people trafficking, some 100,000 migrants fleeing desperate poverty at home in hopes of a better life in Europe are expected to cross the West African state's borders this year.

This word migrant is being abused very much.

They will not go back and forth.

They are invaders, infiltrators.
