About this listen
People flee from Africa because life, in many places, has been stripped down to a daily fight for breath. They flee from wars that never end, from governments that crumble under corruption, from soldiers and militias who rule by fear. They flee hunger that eats the body slowly, and unemployment that kills the spirit long before death arrives. They flee economies looted by leaders and exploited by foreign powers, where the young grow older waiting for opportunities that never come.
They flee because the land of their ancestors has become a battlefield of stolen elections, collapsing hospitals, broken schools, and police forces that protect no one. They flee kidnappings, forced recruitment, trafficking, and the quiet terror of waking up each day not knowing if the sun will set with them still alive.
And yet, they do not flee because they hate home.
They flee because home stopped protecting them.
They flee because the road of danger feels safer than the soil that raised them.
They flee with the hope fragile, trembling, but real that somewhere in this world, a human being can simply live without fear.
But asylum becomes more terrifying war
