"What does torture sound like?" - In this episode, Sara and I
talk to Meron Estefanos, an Eritrean refugee advocate,
journalist, and activist, who has the answer to this. Meron tells
us all about her country of origin, that's been dubbed "The North
Korea of Africa": Eritrea. She tells us why every month thousands
of Eritreans have to flee their country to escape the cruelty of
the dictatorship and what happens to them when they do.
Furthermore, she explains what happens in the Sinai desert to
refugees who get captured there by criminal gangs who abuse them,
torture them and extort money from their families for their
release. We also address the struggle about the conflict with the
Tigray region and the complex history behind it. Meron Estefanos
is a first-hand witness to the horror refugees face on their
perilous journeys, she's witnessed unspeakable crimes, yet never
gave up on people in need. She also speaks to us about how these
experiences make her feel, what she thinks of EU migration
policies and what we can do to help.
"At last I couldn’t accept that the person I had interviewed 5
minutes ago, had died.(...)
This is not about migration, this is about racism." (Meron
Estefanos)
