Off The Grid - Agadez, The Migrant Mirage

Agadez, is at the heart of Europe migrant crisis. The last stop for West Africans before the most dangerous leg of their journey: crossing the Sahara desert.
Europe wants to stop them from coming. And Niger is now trying to stop them from going. We went to Agadez to meet the people risking it all to fulfill their European dream. And those still trying to smuggle them into Libya despite the government crackdown.

As usual where are the women and kids who have been deserted by these young strong men?

[@a.g.truthfullyspeaking4879]

Exactly, why so many able bodies men? Where are the women and children? Left to fend for themselves?

[@margaretnesbeth593]

They are hardly going to drag their wives and children on their harsh journey, are they!!?, those men hope to reach Europe to find work so they can send much needed money to their families.

[@chasechross1533]

Ei berma u Dey here too ? Anyways did you get to Europe using Agadez, Libya and the Mediterranean Sea?

[@Midnight_Metro]

This happened, unfortunately, because they based their economy on tourism. Money should have went to urban development.

🤔 WoW... why are there so many Toyotas in the middle of Saharan Desert?

[@a.g.truthfullyspeaking4879]

I thinking the same thing, Toyota must offer great deals on their vehicles.

[@henghengheng9416]

Actually Japanese second-hand cars are very popular in entire Africa continent.

[@thecongo8505]

@@henghengheng9416 that is correct

[@kwamealhaji499]

It's because they are durable, easy to repair, fuel efficient, user friendly, etc.

[@Relevance4life]

It is the only reliable brand in Africa. For some reasons , it can withstand the hot climate without over heating. Was using a Mazda prior to now, every time it breaks down. Switched to a highlander used it till I got tired, moved to a Camry, still using it and now finally moved to Lexus. Which is a more luxurious Toyota.
