Francis Ngannou’s Illegal Immigration: 14 Month Trek To Paris Through the Sahara & Mediterranean

[@PrimeKulture]

Africa is so rich but their leaders don't care about the people. The corruption is disgusting.

[@phillybul215]

So sad

[@slimes6129]

Funny how you blame the leaders. As someone who was living in the african continent, I would proudly say that the reason of what is happening is europe and NA. These countries are the ones choosing these "bad leaders" and whenever you see a population trying to make a change we find ourselves punished and deprived from "your" finances, products and services. Do you know that our natural ressources get stolen and sold by these countries? Please try to read what France did and is doing in Africa. Or what USA did to Liberia, then make your mind.

[@blindade1]

The west has all African leaders in their pockets… for you to be a leader in Africa you need western help, that doesn’t come cheap.

I've been on a small boat in the Indian Ocean on a windy day. One of the scariest experiences of my life, yet I was close enough to the shore to swim, in maybe an hour. I can't imagine being in the middle of the deep blue sea where nothing is in sight... and not even knowing how to swim. Don't forget that this man crossed the Sahara desert, crossing the borders of maybe 5 countries illegally, before he even got to the sea.

I hate these type of stories all over the world as they indirectly teach people from 2nd and 3rd world countries that migrating without a plan actually works.
