Refugees on the Canary Islands | DW Documentary


More than 30,000 migrants have reached the Canary Islands in the Atlantic this year. Many of them come from Senegal.

Tailor Abdoulaye is also keen to make the dangerous crossing, but he’s still having some doubts. Friends are telling him not to go, that it’s too risky. The journey takes many days out on the high seas to avoid western…

  1. The documentation clearly indicates that he is not a refugee but an economic migrant. There are many legal visa routes skilled personnel can utilize to bridge the gap in USA and European countries. The honest truth is illegal migration should be a considered a crime which will lead to incarceration, we should respect each nation's borders.

  2. Abdoulie has a specialized skill, first many african countries need to integrate the informal skill sector and sensitize people on getting certified. Once certified with little or no experience many visa routes are available for people with skills to work or study further abroad. Its best to save money apply for a visa than take the risk.

  3. Europeans went to Africa with violence and without needing visas or documentation. But Africans cant go to Europe without having documentation. This world is a mess.

  4. Those days looks like the most heroical act that u can do is not fighting for your country to be free instead keep running in Europe. 🤦‍♀️ Take Ukraine as example, the really fight for a better future

  5. People can't live in their country anymore base on economic reason due to bunch of criminal leaders (president) in Africa who keep stealing the country wealth for their personal gain, yet Europe still welcomed some of these criminal element who can't provide job and health care for their citizen.

  6. They are a big problem, causing lots of crime on the islands. Everything from selling drugs, muggings, house break ins, selling counterfeit goods on the beach

  7. While I have sympathy for people looking for a better life, I honestly believe the refugee system is being abused. It needs to be reserved for people who need it. If economic migrants use it then those who need it will fall through the cracks.

  8. Баб своих привезли пособия получать. А что они сделали, чем заслужилиэти пособия. Тем что работать не хотят. Гнать их поганой метлой. Их в шахту там пусть работают

  9. I can understand the reasons why they emigrate, Is not a good solution but i can understand. Not long ago the canarians emigrated for the same reasons. Empathy is important in this difficult world

  10. Tailors can make it in Senegal. So can plumbers, carpenters, etc. Especially if they were better organised. Take tailors. Most if not all of them cannot meet deadlines and deceive clients by not delivering clothes on time. Ambualnt tailors coming from other parts of Africa make enough to send home. That shows that it is a honest and lucrative way of earning money. The lunatics who take those dingy boats believe in easy money abroad, based on false or incomplete information. Whenever I talk to people back home, I am stunned by what they share with me about living abroad and how easy it is to make money. This coming from people who often have never set foot outside of Senegal. They could not be further from the reality. And it is exhausting explaining to them you just cannot take off and enter a country illegally!

  11. Spain took the Canaries ceuta and Melilla and refused to cede them to Morocco where they belong , now it's such a burden for them all their problems with immigration come from there.. a bunch of colonialists serves them well

  12. Why is there garbage everywhere in all these countries? Is this the cause of post-colonial oppression? Please, someone tell me how the trash all over the beach is the fault of Europeans.

  13. The tailor earns just enough to survive. He doesn't realize that most all people everywhere do just the same–earn just enough to survive. To survive: food water clothing protection. If you earn 100 euros a month and can survive it is the same as if you earn 1,000 euros a month and just survive. Stay in your home country with your family and survive together.

  14. Africa itself has a problem of its own africa being exploited by our colonies still being exploited with bad leaders and rampant corruption by our governments are being turned by a blind eye with our coĺonies african as a whole is differed some afracans countries are much better and aware than each other if you check on the africans that are migrating some countries are better than each other is all about bad leaders which is favouring the colonies who in tùrn a blind eye to the african corrupt rulers because of the western interest our good african leaders are being mark as dictators example gadafi of Libya yaya jammeh of gambia the true son of africa who really want africa to be self totally independent for our own development but they dont want to see the african continent move forward

  15. Yes of course another boat is coming…. Why? Because do gooders like this couple keep helping them. And what about the diseases these migrants are carrying? The migrants themselves openly admit they are going to Europe to get a better life. They are not genuine refugees.

  16. This is wrong they must stay in they country. To build they own country. The government must send the migrants back to Afrika. Europa is not a paradijs.
