"... few can have felt as voiceless, remote and alienated
as the so-called boatpeople from Senegal ..."
"... having endured nine freezing nights crossing choppy Atlantic waters
to reach Europe last spring ..."
"... these young people, mostly men in their twenties, represent the brave and lucky ones
who survived the emigration from the west coast of Africa ..."
that´s a joke - but definitely NOT the looky looky story.
i know quite alot of them, because you almost see the same faces
at the same places every year.
most of them come via plane at the beginning of the season and leave via plane
at the end of the season .
the majority of them had/have nothing to do with "boat-people".
ps:
and this clown from sa trinxa must be under the influence (of whatever)
Guillermo Cardoma, the bar manager of Sa Trinxa* on Salinas for fifteen years,
has no sympathy. “People don't like them. They disturb the customers every three minutes
trying to sell things. They have broken the atmosphere of Salinas. This is supposed to be an area for tranquillo, for relaxing, but they are like a mafia.â€
Guillermo* asserts that “they all sell drugs,â€
Interesting article, with all things there is good and bad among any population. I have had good and bad experiences with looky looky men. Some take a polite no and move on and others are a real bother. The African migrants come to Spain to pick crops and other task. They are treated badly and move from place to place on the main land. I got to know some of them when I lived in Andalusia.
Very interesting to hear their story. It's a strange debate - immigration. It is easy to empathise with people wanting more for their families, but to some it can be difficult if it has a negative impact on their lives.
