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…

This is the 21st Century, anyone who wants to travel must do it accordingly.
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.
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.
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.
African leaders!!!! Shame on u!!!!
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
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.
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
Colonialists were the primary economic migrants.
Serious risks. A gamble. Not worth it
Why do voters in democracies have no influence over refugee policies?
54 countries in Africa. so there is clearly plenty of choice on that continent.
He doesn't look hungry or sick to me .they just want money for nothing .
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.
They wanna turn Europe into Africa? There will be nowhere else for them to go after this happens 😂🤦🏾♂️
Is Europe the land of milk and honey? 👀
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
Europe will be be Third World in 50 years time.
He says i cant live like this anymore, i know if i can get to England I'll move into a Premier Inn lovely jubley
Did Tailor Abdoulaye made it, i hope so.
Senegal tailor come to America; he will do very well.
😥😥😥😥
Magical water and charms…this is the problem
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
One “tourist” like this have tried to attack me at the beach of small spanish town. I don’t fell for them. Sorry
The Canadians fly them to mainland Spain where the head for Calais and the Xanadu that is England … a cold , wet , grey and miserable country .
Surely we are all free inhabitants of planet earth ? Who is to say where we can go and live ?
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!
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
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.
Looks like his family has overcome anorexia. I hope they realize their dreams.
In this situation karma is caming you came to Africa took what could have build it know africal are caming to get what belong to them our ancestors are guiding us
Birth control!
I think Europa needs to take over Africa …. They want Europa life … then bring Europa to Africa ..
00:01_ minefields
The insistence of the young men to believe they’ll be able to earn good income and support their families, is such cognitive dissonance.
Well if you keep helping them, they will keep comming
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.
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
Everybody hand in the cookie jar🤮
Europe fallen ❤
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.
Stop offering them assistance, they will stop coming.
Europe is fckd
Abdullah looks like he eats lots and lots of food.
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.
