C'est un article triste, dramatique sur les jeunes Africains qui préfèrent risquer la mort que de rester dans leur pays. C'est totalement...

... révoltant. On retrouve le même schéma partout - comme celui en Haïti- de dirigeants corrompus chouchoutés par la CI/USA/UE comme Paul BIYA un autocrate à la tête du Cameroun depuis 1982. Le salaud a maintenant 90 ans et il laisse mourir la jeunesse de son pays. L'article qui est le premier d'une série sur les migrants africains passe en revue la situation au Cameroun,Kenya, Nigéria, Zimbabwe.

Comme le KENYA fait partie de l'actualité d'Haïti en ce moment, j'ai sélectionné la partie qui expose les sombres réalités de ce pays. Nous avons tout à craindre pour que, paradoxalement les Kenyans trouvent en Haïti un lieu d'exil et/ou un passage vers les USA. Article en anglais mais je suppose que vous savez utilisez les outils de traduction qui se trouvent sur le net. Enfin, j'ose espérer.

"In neighbouring Kenya, the story is similar. Patricia Wanja Kimani, who experienced months of abuse as a domestic worker in the Gulf, says: “It’s like telling a child not to put its hand in the fire; it will still put a hand in the fire.” Kimani has written a book about her experiences and now works for an NGO that aims to warn Kenyan women off leaving. Her colleague Faith Murunga, who works at an NGO with a similar mission, says that Kenya’s young people, 67% of whom are unemployed, have few alternatives.

As in Uganda, a wealthy elite does little to tangibly improve the lot of the majority. “We try to engage with the government. We do what we can,” says Murunga.

According to Kenyan government statistics, the bodies of 89 Kenyans were transported back from the Gulf between 2019 and 2021, with their employers reporting that they had died from cardiac arrest, suicide or had “died in their sleep”.

Awareness campaigns by NGOs seem to have limited effect. Ngina Kirori, an investigative reporter at ZAM, recently approached 10 women and men at random on the streets of the capital, Nairobi, and asked if they were considering going to the Gulf, despite the horror stories. Four people said they would still go because “there is no hope here”; two hesitated, saying they were scared, but still considering it; only four were sufficiently deterred to say they wouldn’t go.

Kimani has little faith that the government will address the situation. “Honestly, some government officials and civil servants are enablers. I was once threatened for going public about the abuse I suffered, and the person in question told me that a certain government official was on their side. Other women have also told me that they were given ‘orders from above’ to drop charges whenever they spoke out.”

Kimani has now left Kenya to look for a future elsewhere."
