- In Ivory Coast, would-be migrants who return home are known locally as "the cursed". With their dream of a better life abroad in tatters, they also face stigma and rejection from their families and communities. Yassin Ciyow and Guillaume Collanges went to meet them.

People risk drowning, dying of exposure, being exploited, raped, robbed, murdered and imprisoned to go someplace where they don't know anyone and don't speak the language, specifically to send money back home to the same family who shuns and rejects them for not making it. Unbelievable.
Yours is the best comment...for 17 years i have been working very hard ...been sending money back home every month..and i know if i go back home now with little money, those same people will despise me and hate me...people living in foreign countries facing and suffering all kinds of hardships are under enormous pressure..with no way out.
â@@SarahAndrews24That was the Best true comment ever...especially sending money back home to people who shun them!
If any family treats u like that leave them and get ur own family simple
These NGOs lie to migrants research who's funding NGOs like IsraAid listen to Barbara Learner Spectre this has all been planned, they want to split up Europe into Christian and non Christian areas just more division. It's how they stay in power .
â@@SarahAndrews24 You are not oblige to do that!! Please save yourself and your future and the future of you children. If they want money and they think it's easy here, they can also try the journey
These people are wasting their money and risking their lives for false dreams.
Same as in America
@@lenaely6146 There's no comparison possible lol.
Maybe governments should stop saying open borders and free money for "migrants" and "asylum seekers"
Itâs not false dreams⊠theyâre looking for free money⊠something for nothing. They donât want to work for it either. They just want to get on the government doles in England, Germany, and France mainly.. they know exactly where to go. Disgrace! I would call them dogs, but they are far beneath
@@rickrollrizal2747I donât think Europe has a choice, the EU decided that and they withhold funds if you donât fall in line. The whole west is doing this under the force of those holding all the money
My mother migrated 26 years ago, she sent money to her home country up untill 2 years ago when they insulted her after she found out they were lying to her and she threatened to stop sending money. She called me crying and I told her the same thing I've told ger for years, STOP sending them money. I, her own child, don't even ask her for money, nor does my brother. She should enjoy her money and spend it on herself.
I had the same exact problem lol.
Now, $100 US dollars means nothing to them. They expect thousands nowâŠ.as if we have a money tree in America. Please tell me how to grow one if anyone knows how!
â@@qwenqwen1476Even when you send money to them, they would not even bother to call you that they have received the money until you call to ask if they receive the money.
100%
@@danielkomolafe936 Happens in all the developing countries with families, they love you or pretend to as long as the you are the ATM. As soon as this is cut off all the backstabbing starts. Happened to me too. But only we can stop this coercion/fear by just saying NO. Parents must not have children so they are an insurance. Not sending remittances will help families to Stop Breeding and take their responsibilities seriously.
They need to STAY HOME, and make their own country betterâŒïžâŒïžâŒïžâïž
I agree.
All those who come on the boats look like they have just been living on the streets of Africa. When their children have drowned, parents have said on camera they do not care but will send more of their 20+ children. Educated migrants do not tell their families if they work as cleaners becoz they are ashamed their status takes a hit.
Whenever their leaders try or the people try, your governments destabilize them I don't want to start talking so much but whenever African countries try to get better your country and it's allies destabilize them to benefit you and your family
Well they possibly could if colonialism wasnât still robbing their countries blind.
It is difficult to stay home and make your country better because the suffering and misery are very deep and intense. The West deeply weighs in in the African resources and minerals. They behave as the masters, putting in power the leaders that work for them and not for the people.
Unfortunately they think Europe is paved with gold. It is not. Having so many immigrants pushing through,helps no one. Our infrastructures and finances cannot withstand these people. It is unfair to expect tax payers of these countries to further fund additional economic migrants when Europe struggles in times of adversities!!!!
They do not care about European citizens but feel entitled by the UN protection policies. Problem is all the developing world including India must stop their Breeding factories which are working at full capacity. Parents have large families and coerce and pay smugglers to get to Europe and send money home. World Bank puts Indians with the highest remittances at 3% of GDP. Families only mean one thing paying for 10+ irresponsible family members.
*Immigrants= Legal Entry, Law Abiding citizens*
*Migrants= Ilegal entry and...etc*
â@@binyam11 ikr. France swore by imperialism and colonialism and justified it as the white man's burden so that they could enslave, rape, pillage, steal and plunder in Africa using the most brutal, barbaric and corrupt tactics possible. To France, African lives don't matter, so France still does shady, racist, bigoted, elitist, corrupt isht, still stealing the gold in Africa as well as in France to this day. These fonts need to stop lying.
â@@agnescraig2912This woud be resulted if no one woud send money to their family.
Just stop sending money.
So it's no jobs in any of the European countries or housing? If that is the case why are Europeans not demanding their govts and corporations to provide for the citizens? This doesn't start with illegal immigration it starts with corporate greed and no govt investments.
We Africans are not as nice as we claim to be , how do u shun someone just because they don't have money, this is disgusting really
not "someone". Your own family!? It is hard to go to another man's land and claim racism when your own people are willing to sell you for a profit
Thatâs true ,specially the women , no education
@siphamandlamkhize9766, we are a very nasty race, extremely unkind, cruel, inhumane, very selfish, uncaring, spiteful, mean and at times barbaric to our own. Is it a wonder some blacks want nothing to do with being an African
We are not. Myself I chose my family, my mother who is always by my side and my chosen family I build here.
The love of money was the true sin that brought invasions and poverty.
If your family would actually shun you because you came back then you have lost NOTHING.Move on!!!!
Thats not how that works
Make your friends your family. Choose friends wisely.
@@janetrogers4738 Absolutely agree and have done!
What that man said at 22:15 holds true for those Venezuelan migrants trying to get into the US. They have this false idea that they can make a lot of money quick in the US and are in for a big surprise with how hard it is to survive in the US when they get here.
Thatâs what a Venezuelan migrant told me after crossing the border with his families.
The US is presented to the world as a nation where everyone is rich. That's why people are running here.
is the usd worth more than VZ currency? yes. so yes they can make a lot of money. just not what is "a lot" to you.
â@@kreativeforce532Yeah, it's a lot of money only if they ever make it back to Venezuela to enjoy it. It's a trap looking at it that way. The truth is you'll hardly make it back for good to enjoy the supposedly lots of money. As long as you're trapped in the US with the perceived dollar power, you'll hardly be rich by American standard because of the bills and pressure from friends and family members from your native country who erroneously believe that you are in America and are now rich. I've come to notice that those in their native countries are healthier and live longer than those that immigrated to the western countries. The so called better quality of life is the US and Europe is nothing but an illusion well advertised by the media.
@@kreativeforce532no⊠because they have to live here and that is expensive and takes money out of their pockets.
so many people from around the world need to stop running, they should stay and fix their own country
Like what, the way we did it in America? Fixed everything? The richest country yet people are suffering. So easy to flap your gums.
@@meerkatreserve7543so called rich country but only few rich people. India has huge GDP, more than UK for ie, but India being an economy with nuclear power and satellites, does not mean the people are rich. Many live without sanitation or education. Yes, fix your own country rather than demand handouts from others mouths. Lifting up the poor is not what rich people do, but taking housing away from citizens in need is not what poor people can do either.
Stop sending money back home! Ungrateful family will spend it on frivolous things, and try to scam you into sending more!
This is what I see here. The Ethiopian girls work hard and send all their extra money home- and they get demands constantly for more.
â@@LilyGazouAll African men and women do this. West Africans, Southern Africans, Northern Africans, etc.

@@KaeMaiden Am and Indian migrant living in the UK. Not just African but Indians Pakistanis Bangladesh Vietnam to name a few. All Asian/developing countries are guilty too. Stop sending money just encouraging greed/laziness/irresponsibility/showing off/ bragging
You are so right. i was sponsoring an African from the Congo so that he could go to film school and he sent all of the money he saved back home to his family. On that day I asked him to leave my home. He made it to film school but without my help...I could not believe that his family sent him to American to be a caregiver for his mom who had other grown kids in Africa. For me she had too many kids and this one was sacrificed to care for the whole family. Another African from Sudan hit my car with no car insurance. I could not trust him and called the police to find out he had no insurance because he said " I had to send money to my family" I was pissed and told him he would never solve the poverty problem at home and that he needed to care for himself in America and not let his car insurance go only to suffer. He is now working like a slave 2 and 3 jobs t make ends meet because he lost his uber job because he did not have car insurance. It is shame.
Iâm in Denver, there is a Venezuelan guy laying right outside of my condo right now. They get on social media where people tell them that if they just come they will be taken care of. Even if they could get a job they will never be able to earn enough to afford to rent or own anything here. This is a very expensive city.
Stop having children that you cannot afford to look after.
Yes thatâs what we did and only had 2 children because thatâs what we could afford.
Having children is an inherently selfish act....according to ghandi
Traditionally, in developing countries people had many children because many died. They also wanted some children to survive long enough to take care of them in their old age. They didn't have the Canada Pension Plan or social security
Be quiet please
@@sarahrean7174 No! I won't be quiet.
Its frustrating and infuriating honestly.
5,000 years of sending "selling" your sons and daughters to foreign lands and Mother Africa, the people, still doesn't know the value of her land and children.
Constantly looking at what others have and lusting after it has brought only tears to Africa. Its time to learn the lesson.
When we know better, we do better.
Invest in Africa instead of abandoning Africa or others will take your gifts.
I think you're right. I always thought Africa is so rich for everybody except for most Africans.
đ
There is a lot of value in old African cultural traditions. Adopting new religions and trying to copy Europeans is not a salvation.
@@crissmith7963 yeah, we can see all that valuable culture. So valuable every single one of them wants to leave to come mooch off the white man...
Well said! Lusting after what other people have - so true!
Why would you leave your child and girlfriend behind?? As a man why not just stay where you are, work and try to make their life better where they are.
It's not a good idea to migrate anywhere these days! Stay home!
Nobody in west is against legal migration.
They are against illegal (and political) ones
The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
How can one be rejected by one's own family? it means that for the relatives one's you leave and if you do managed to get into Europe you become one huge ATM so horrible and disgusting.
From what Iâm understanding the whole family gives a lot of money to the person who is leaving and expects to have it paid back with interest. If they come back then the whole family has wasted money and nothing to show for it. Iâm not saying itâs right. Family should love you no matter what.
If a family is able to put large amounts of money to send their family member on an trafficked voyage, which comports deadly risks; then they should be able to exert the same efforts to start a family business together, instead
What family business if you can get a job
â@@Ws2237I said, INSTEAD OF, paying large amounts of money to send a relative on a dangerous trip; the family could put the SAME MONEY together to start a business, like for instance, a food business. People have to eat to survive, food businesses always do OK.
@@Dream_more_age_lesswell from there view they see first world countries as like a jackpot in which you just get instantly rich once you get there
@@Ws2237 The one the family starts. How do you think family businesses get started in France, Thailand, US, Australia, Pakistan, India, Peru, Japan, Germany, Brazil, etc etc?
@@kbengson9163 itâs not the same market itâs not the same economy, most of the people that cross illegally are poor or lower middle class and are less educated.

You understand the importance of your country after a failed journey to Europe.
Youâre absolutely spot on bro. Iâve witnessed couple of people succeeded in Abidjan after a failed journey to Europe. Je te jure mon frĂšre itâs so true.
A failed journey is one thing. But they ought not to condemn someone for wanting to better themselves. Had they been successful their country ppl would be singing a different tune. That is foolish and reeks of jealousy
Truth!
No. Those 3 boys at the end just wants to leave for Europe again. They sit around being bored !
Africa needs to change for the better because innocent African people are suffering so much.
Well their ancestors sold them to white man, and now we are all laying in the bed we made for ourselves.
Are the French not continuing to loot Haiti and the Francophone countries in Africa?
African leaders need to do better
How are they âsuffering so muchâ??
By their own hands. We all have the government we deserve.

How is it possible that millions of people are so ill informed???
Im an AMERICAN- It is so expensive in America to live because we are paying for everybody who has come here illegally! Not by choice!!
They take money from our paychecks and we are stuck paying for these people! Its so bad here, i work full time and i am living in a womens shelter!! Im homeless- just to pay for other peoples homes!! Thats how taxes are working for you!
Eventually its going to be your turn if you come to America. I was born here and i dont get anything free. I never asked for anything free! But now because i am paying FOR YOU, I DONT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE ON MY OWN!!
IM AN ARMY VETERAN AND I DONT GET ANYTHING FOR FREE-
THINK ABOUT THAT!
Its complete insanity!!!!
I understand where you are coming from. You are right to want to protect what's yours. But they are also right to move in search of greener pasture. It's the way of the world as a matter of fact it's natural for people, animals and birds to move around the earth for greener pastures. You wouldn't be living in America today if your ancestors didn't move for greener pastures. The entire species would probably be extinct.
You can say that again, the irony of this is that if an American goes to anyone of these countries. That are represented, by these illegal, without the proper documentation. They'll be put in prison. NOTHING IS FREE ANYWHERE. They're been used amd lied to!
I hope things work out for you my sister in Arms!
Army Veteran!!!! What years did you serve and what was your MOS? Let's see if we can improve your situation.
They leave their countries because their countries are worse economically than the states and they are ignorant of your reality. They just want a better life.
ââ *@ziwer1* EVERY piece of land, then empires, then countries have been formed by INVASION, by war. We are leaving in 21 century with OFFICIAL borders and signed an agreement about them in the 1974 (UN).
Countries should keep developing on it's own, with each other and our help, but not constant migration to the western world by millions. It doesn't help anyone in the long run. Just bringing down progressive countries.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.... work on your own country. we are broke
Desperate people take desperate steps. You say work on your country, but that's very difficult to do when you do not have the resources or means.
â@@vextally7566They have the resources in the means that's how they were able to travel theređ
nowadays anywhere in the world , there's no such thing as land of milk and honey . Life is hard everywhere .so think before leaving your motherland .
It seems many of these young people are pressured to do so, like getting kicked out of the home and they take the often dangerous journey with no real plan in place, it's a recipe for disaster and seems their own family do not care as long as money comes in when they arrive to where they go. They can't win in either country. That is a painful existence. I feel for them personally.
@@Brooklynlife1000 It is a booming business so your emotions are really misplaced sadly. All leaders in developing countries benefit from Remittances and people smuggling. India's 3% GDP is from Remittances to the tune of $1Bln increasing Foreign Exchange coffers in India. All these leaders know this and turn a blind eye by not arresting Agents/people smugglers. Indians taking tourist plane journeys like Russia /Carribean/South America with no return tickets which tourist must have.
@@agnescraig2912start banning Indians! Theyâre ruining Canada as is
Africans must learn to stay in their own different countries and make their countries better. How? The first thing is to work the soil. PlNt food in your yard. Small plots of vegetables do wonders. Plant mielies, pumpkins, beans, etc. in your fields. Work hard and slowly, but surely you will succeed.
The practice of going to other countries and be a burden there is a worrier to the citizens of those other countries.
Most Africans grow their own food. This poverty porn is the minority.
Why just Africans and not other Europeans , Asians and Arabs? They all migrate
Very strange that her family does not want to see her nor interested in what she lived through, only that she has come back empty handed. (10:00) I am wondering what kind of family is that?
An African one...
When I was in school, someone in my class went to the US on holiday. When she came back she said it was a bit of a culture shock to see homeless on the street who were white. And my uncles went to the UK on holiday many decades ago. His shock was at the sticker price for small things like a cup of tea and toast. He said you might be earning pounds, but you are spending it in pounds too.
29:27 Well that is a problem too. There are a number of youtube videos of those who got jobs and are working abroad and some of them are becoming sick of only being seen as an ATM. They have bills to pay and see Facebook of their family back home partying and living the high life that they cannot afford where they are.
Only one thing to get rid of this problem STOP sending money. All developing countries do this encouraged by their leaders to build up their foreign exchange coffers with Indians topping the list $1bln + increase. Remittances=greed laziness irresponsible spending showing off by families
I was in shock when I saw a bunch of homeless in Canada, and UK. Sad! Those countries are far too cold to have homeless out there like that! Itâs sad how many homeless u guys have
Fight for your country- like every one else has!
And that's why that place is very unsuccessful and never will be
If they can save up so much money to pay the cartels and to travel to Europe, why dont they use that money to start something where they live instead ? They can stay with their family and have somewhere to live and eat. it is insane to me that they will put that much effort into being an illegal migrant but won't put any effort into making something of themselves where they live and contributing to their own community.
Because they're lazy and brainwashed.
The reality is a significant portion of Africans want to get rich off minimal work. It's a delusion spread to them by their parents and grandparents that if they step on European soil, suddenly they'll be wealthy, and that they are owed the toil and labour that European peoples work for their family, children and future generations. Ivory Coast is one of the fastest growing economies, and the Lebanese minority there (yes believe it or not there is a Lebanese community) managed to work and become successful. So it therefore begs the question, why cannot many of them? It all goes down to mentality, outlook, and a sense of being owed something by everybody.
@@slawekra4822 and with all the unsuccessful africans that have to return home because getting rich in Europe was not as easy as they said -- do they not get the over side of the situation which is actually the truth ? do they not hear that renting an apartment is expensive ? do they not hear that getting a job is really difficult. ? Do they not hear that the streets are not paved with gold ?
â@@slawekra4822 the reality is a significant portion of europeans have lifestyles above what they did in the 1400s because their forefathers robbed Africans of our wealth & now we want it back.

Africans see their relatives as meal tickets, and you will be shunned if you have no money. The woman stirring the cosmetics, she has the best perspective.

If the life you want requires handouts then you need to pick another path. Barring being too ill or disabled to work, or losing your home in a fire, natura ddisaster, or war, expecting the government - much less a government where you are not a citizen is a set up to get let down.
Sometimes as Afrikans we like to blame everyone but ourselves and i don't know why we are like that but what I've noticed is that since rise of the woke/pan-africanist gang Afrikans we on some relentless victim mentality. The past can never be changed but dwelling on it instead of drafting our present and future the way we want it will take us nowhere.

@26:56 The speaker is standing in a demolished house holding up a couch pillow, saying that the house was demolished by the government with less than 48h notice.

â@@ziwer1The vast majority of 'our' grandparents were labourers/servants and didn't even have the vote. The colonial expansion wasn't their idea or choice. You need to blame the elites for that.
Rather than learn the rules, they get with others, and make them up. Why not find out what to expect upon returning BEFORE leaving?
I donât understand how can you say you have no money but you carry a smart phone?

I like the "return to Ivory Coast" part
stay in africa..make africa great
I am a migrant, and my family would have never ever seen me as an investment, no matter what.... They love me so much that they rather have me back home. These returnee migrants shall be welcome with open arms and love, and not be treated as mare objects, because after all, they are all human beings.
Here we are struggling in Europe with 4 babies but family members make us feel we have to give for other people's babies back in Africa and they are not even married. It's like they are having babies so we can take the money from our babies to those other ones. Here we waited to get married before bringing the babies. Now because we say no they don't call. But they call before I as the wife can ask for this money for food. So I was in a cycle where I was single handedly buying food and clothes while my husband was sending money for other people's babies. But the interest seems purely financial. I tell my husband if he continues he will lose everything because he doesn't have anything saved if he has to go back those people will not help him. I am the only one helping him here.
Forget those ppl. Get âlaid offâ for fake and see if they help or call you.. god speedđđŸđđŸđđŸ
You are enabling him.
Please stop - I have after years and you can too.
You are seeing the light , but your husband still believe in these poisoning new traditions . Donât send money back home. If you can afford it sent a little to your parents , and only if they are really old and cannot work. Stop keeping these people depended on their sons and daughters and sisters and brothers to provide for them. Stop the circle and if they want money from you and you your self have no savings and then they donât talk to you any more then they are not worthy of your love. let them go how painfully that is.
What are you doing??!!??!!
HORRIBLE societies. Put so much pressure on the YOUNG, rather than working/fighting to change their countries
While in Europe the people that work as drivers and/ or work independent and donât work for a boss and have a small house earned by working for him self are admired and lots of people are jealous of them. Working for a boss is less admired then people working for them self
Looks like there is plenty of work to do in Africa. Roads to be built. Infrastructure to be put in place. Etc. But still dirt roads .....really!
Africa is too far behind compared to Asia, Europe and America. Unfortunately it will be poor for a very, very long time.
Depends on the area in Africa. Africa is definitely not that bad. Itâs just like everywhere. People travel not just African people. Or u are saying Africans are not allowed to travel???
@@ATSdream Stop this. Compared to other continents, Africa is really drastically backwards. Africa has the highest number of people leaving the continent and one of the reasons is poverty which is a result of african governments being generally clueless, heartless, corrupt and greedy, they don't care about making the lives of the citizens easier and better, they only care about enriching themselves. As an African, I really don't see things improving anytime soon.
@@ATSdream African immigrants are too nice they go to Europe and beg for jobs whereas Europeans immigrants forcefully take over Africa and steal their resources.
Maybe but I saw a vidéo on africains getting immensly rich by selling property in south Africa or somewhere. The man just set up as an estate agent and sold a lot of property. He was amazed himself how rich he got. I don't remember if ge used that money to help other africans
*Maybe if the Asians, Europeans, Americans & Indians etc GTFO like they tell the migrants..They wouldn't be so behind!?* đđ đ€ đ
20:13 my heart really feels for the father
You mean the one telling his son to go, even if it kills him? Why have children at that rate?
So, as I see it, if you leave, the only use your former family has for you is to go to another country, do whatever you have to so that you can send money back to the family. If you cannot do that, they have no further use for you.
So the Ivory Coast is not considered to be "Society"?
I wish I had the power to stop the suffering of people
Am so sorry for you bro life is not easy
How do I contact them
My tiny violin plays.
It so crazy that the ones trying trying and are willing to risk everything to bring some money to the family are not accepted when they return empty handed and the ones staying home and taking the easy way waiting for money to come from the ones that risk their lives to go to Europe are leading vendetta against the ones that failure . that is Crazy .. Europe is not a paradise. yes we live in stone houses as it can get very cold but poverty is not always noticed but is here and things are getting tough since the war and since USA have problems it reflects on Europe as Europe depends also on how USA and the dollar goes. When you are poor in a warm country but can manage to get basic cloths and foods for your family it is better then being poor in a cold country. We use to have social programs for the sick and poor but that is also falling apart nowadays. It is crazy that young parents in Africa, that can provide for them self, chose to sit in front of their houses and wait for their sons to feed them. We donât have that here. We try not to lean too much on our children and lot of elders work even if they are over 75 years , The support system is falling apart as nowadays it seem there are more people asking for support then people working to pay for that support. People tend to forget that the ones working are providing for the ones that cannot work . Each country has a âpotâ where workers put money in monthly . So you pay almost 40 to 50% of your salary or income to the government for the taxes and welfareâpotsâ. They can set something like that up in Africa . If millions of people are obliged to put even a very small part of their earnings in a community-saving then from that money poor people can benefit from IF they cannot find a job or are disabled. But you must accept any job when available . But the corruption in Africa is maybe worse then the corruption in Europe or USA. IF the corruption is too big this will fail as the ones that have too guard the welfare money will use it for them self or for their friend and relatives. And this will keep Africa at the bottom of the worse doing continents .
Not our problem!
In a way, we are all on our own to make it in this world...we simply do the best we can ...good self worth and the way you conduct yourself is an indicator of future success.
Thank you for an intelligent and non-divisive approach to this documentary. I wonder if the situations in Europe and Africa parallel what weâre experiencing here in the Americas.
The reason Europe is attractive is because the citizens have persevered through great hardship, taxes, to reach where they are. Dont be greedy. Stay home and fix your country for future generations.
Wow No matter what our families do with their lives at home or abroad they are Family and are always welcomed home whether they're Successful or Not. Home is just the stepping stone to whatevers out there and to also Keep you GroundedđŻ
Not if you're African. That's why they all have 8 babies... increases the odds that one will make it to Whiteland and send back money gotten via charity...
đ THERE'S đ
NO PLACE LIKE
HOME!!!
The truth is you can make it!
STAND YOUR GROUND. đȘđđĄ âšHomeâš
Fellow Muslim nations really take care of each other don't they?
Not really. One white woman and they start talking s**t. Lotta ignorance on this continent. I left there years ago and never looked back. Murder and crimes against women and children are common place there.
Let them try other European countries like: Germany, Denmark, Finland or Norway.
The problem is that they are perceived as sellouts.
The lady in Cote d'Ivoire at 06:28 is working for herself, making a living providing meals for construction workers and her neighbors. She mentioned she is supporting 7 people on the money she earns. This is my definition of being successful! She feeds the people she loves and provides a needed service to her neighbors and the construction workers, all while working from home. She has no expenses for transportation, she doesn't waste time on a daily commute, she can parent her children while she works.
I just confuse why Chinese people going to America, China is the one of the richest countries
With more automation, fewer people will be hired in the West. Am not sure that word has made it's way to these countries.
Blessings for these people/migrants
He is over the IOM CĂŽte d'Ivoire-David Preux?!! Neo-colonial much...
Seems like a lot of them are lazy. Some have enough energy to get pregnant and no husband.
typical racist ignorance.
Yes spot on. Remittances encourage greed laziness frivolous spending showing off to friends and out of control Breeding
