Agadez, the largest city in central Niger, has become one of the main transit points for illegal migrants from West Africa who dream of Europe. We bring you an exceptional documentary about this little-known precarious crossing, unavoidable for migrants on their way to the European continent. It’s a road filled with hope and tragedy, and above all with danger.
Every week, more than 12,000 men, women and children from West Africa take the road from Agadez, Niger's central metropolis, to Europe. They are fleeing poverty and the lack of prospects in their home countries. But Agadez is only the first step in their long and dangerous journey. First they have to cross the desert, then Libya - where they are often arrested by police - and finally the Mediterranean Sea on rickety boats. Many of them never reach their final destination.
Our reporters, Catherine Norris-Trent and Julien Sauvaget, travelled to Niger to meet these men and women who dream of a better life in Europe. Our journalists were given rare access to the "ghettos" of Agadez, including the houses where migrants wait before continuing their journey. They were also able to film how this illegal trafficking is organised, speaking to people smugglers before joining the migrants to board pick-up trucks launched at full speed across Niger’s Ténéré desert.

So sad that the tourism industry has died in a place with such beauty. I would love to go here someday and do what I can to help out.
Why do you spend 3 to 10 thousand dollars to reach Europe? Can't that give you an investment in Africa?
I remember the rastaman since I also was in Libya he is a good guy
n he wants nothing but school.
I was in this journey. I thank God for my life, he save me and today I live in Germany have what I want. God save all people stil on this journey and RIP all one died in the journey 😭😭😭😭 is a big history in my life, I will still glorify the name of God, he save me and give me joy. Thank u Lord for my life
Glad, Whom of these people died ❓
Does Abubakar,mohamudu arrived
With this we are still suffering for documents
That boy mamadu Is my good friend in Italy we have picture togeether
How are you 2 doing now? Hope you got your goals ?
Is he now in school?
If only france will stop exploiting these African countries, things will definitely be better in the francophone African countries!!
this is the curse of Africa bad leadership
Thank you, you know that
it's ironic that these leaders you talk about are backed by Europeans who are still colonizing Africa indirectly through these fake presidents we have
Mfundo Mncube Exactly.
General Malaise coming from a cave-dweller
Mfundo Mncube what crap you talk... really really rubbish!!!!
I spent hell going through this trip! Four persons died on our very truck! Am in Ukraine doing well now! It take's heart and hard balls to make it in life!
The Professor пажалуста сказительниц меня ещё
Wow...
The Professor congrats man!
Wow ur amazing
Where are you in Ukraine? I studied in Harkov.
My advice to young people in Africa, even though you are Facing difficulties in your countries beacuse am a victim too were I lost 7⃣ of my friends , don't try this journey please, the journey is death ☠ or you live. We need unification in Africa. Because of bad leadership lead young generation to death. Respect to IOM. For many helpful things.
Yes oo
We did not just want to leave our country, but because of the bad leadership we are facing that is the reason we are living the country to look for a better life.
@General Malaise Hmmmmm wow very well said. Most Africans hate to be telling them truths, and that's why there is no any progress being made for thousands of years
I always said there's no place like home where you have your dignity respect and everything is very sad for Africa with all this situation France is taking millions of dollars every year from some African countries I hope France 24 will talk about this evil they're country is doing against Africa
I was on this journey but so sad
@essam aldein which way?
if is not the bad and demonic,evil leaders in Africa .who will take this risky life?May death visit all the evil leaders and their family ijna
you are may death visit them all
@Rashaenka you are an idiot, can you get up and up and build a houses (da) just like that with no money and help or ground. Everything is up to the leaders that doesn't care about their people
Nyambura Lemis amen
Amen
France 24, thanks
is really not easy and nobody's deserved to be refugees
These young men shud turn back...horror awaits them
Thats is the getto i was when i was in Argadez
Able to get to Europe
Why don't they use their money to start planting food, in their home lands.
Just saying that everybody comes from trouble nations wants to get out from unemployment, lowest salary and go far to achieve his or her dreams to support the family, some has luck in their journey and others are unlucky to reach to Europe. Thanks for sharing this documentary.
After all the pain people still got killed
france 24 thanks....
Something is wrong here.
Who nor go nor know how e dey be..
Some are still lucky to get there upon all d suffering.
If they can spend almost 2000 euros, why not apply for visa or something and take a flight (referring to the guy who was speaking)
Am hering mandinka language i hope their are my people and my fulani people may God help you
I was also like this before and i made it to Europe, now I'm having a different life
Wish you the best in life
non of this will happen if Africa was developed like Europe. greedy old leaders are the downfall of Africa. nobody should risk this journey.
@13:00 Why that guy is wearing a spacesuit ..🤔
Even if am in Europe my heart beat while watching this documentary
Anonyme a place is prepared for you in Hell. You will rot there mark my words
Why did Abubaker return from Sweden? If he was there studying before why does he need to travel this route???

And my girlfriend is on her way to Libya from Nigeria. UA-cam why did you bring this clip for me to watch. I am more scared than ever. It been two days now I haven't heard from her. If she is in agadez or still on her way to agadez I don't know. I feel like crying. Oh Lord protect her. I tried to stop her but she left without me knowing. Difficult situation she has put me in
Brother me too but mine has reach libya
@@miramira6493 mine has reached too.. just a week after I posted the comment.
@@elliotigbinosun2424 did she get to europe?
@@oseimaxwell217 it been a year now and she is still in Libya. We are still communicating. She stayed long at saba in a place called ghetto. It was like prison.. But not too long she escaped from there and she is now in Tripoli. I don't know when she will plan to cross to Europe.
@@elliotigbinosun2424 Hey Elliot. Any word from her? I wish her the best of luck.
I pass true this, is 50 50 Europe or die, now am in Austral
What is the solution ?
No solution. Freedom of movement there is nothing the Niger government can do anything about it.
Is it the price for uranium as an energy resource?
if you can find all this why cant the police?
Please tell all embassies to give visa freely if dey don't want people to perish thus way
truthful mouth One love black and white
Amen!!!
Amen!!! I am interceding with prayer to Our Father of The Universe. We must do all that we can do, but do it in the name of Jesus. 🙏💞💟
Jean P. G. Your elist masters are helping them to get to Europe, otherwise these people would not be able to come here. Ask yourself, why are your European masters emptying Africa? Research that!
Mountain Man3 it is your european government that causes people to come their country, when they stop looting africa and Asia treasures it will not be like this, the gas you use in your car, gold, uranus, food,iron ore, Diamond, are just a few example of what europe government is stealing from africa by false, millions of European spy's destroying africa. What do you expect it ask you?? You just have to stop the money the europe are paying to libya to kill Africans thesame way the European killed gaddafi for trying to make africa unite and exceed poverty.
When these countries were looted by these colonial powers.now these poor people are going to the former colonial powers.france is still robing these under developed countries.france should invest in these countries instead of taking their mineral wealth away.
God bless IOM
No matter what I go go to Libya
Don’t
Go somewhere else, Libya is racist and dangerous
Who no go no go know
Because of the bad grovement we have
My brother so have u been able to get to Europe yet ?

The suicide journey
anybody has aboubacar bank account so i send him d money needed to cross over
This is a joke.
This is abdul hes been rejected back to Africa from Sweden
Destination: Sweden
For what? To get rich
(The Cruel Desert) 3 Days on the pack of a pickup truck? Those are humans on a mission. Almost all have mission is to reach EU. They go through all that hardship crossing the desert and the hardship of Libyan detention centers and then get robbed. That's only half of it! "They still have to cross the sea to reach Italy'. Once they're in EU then 75% of them get deported back to Africa and have to start all over again. Makes no sense but these people have given up on sensibility. They are determined to make enough Lira to support themselves and send money home.
How much longer are we expected to pay for Africans to come to our countries?? ENOUGH ALREADY. Stay in your country. Stop running call Oprah Winfrey. She has billions and always toots her own horn about her African generosity to her fellow Africans. Leave us alone and call HER
Soulless and bloody racist!
Racist lady
You haven't paid enough. You exploited us, and continue to exploit us so you keep seeing us.
No it doesn't work that way lady, when neo-colonianism ends, you can make this statement with confidence. Until then, deal with it!
