“I’d like to welcome Professor Aboubakr Jamai form Aix-En-Provence University, who is going to present an award to Sameh Ellaboody, whose winning entry “Eastern Gateway” focuses on stranded refugees in Greece and Turkey.”
Sameh ELLABOODY (in Arabic)
انا حاليا قصتي الثانية التي سوف يتم دعمها بعد الجائزة هي قصة عن المهربين مهربي الهجرة غير الشرعية والصراع فيما بينهم الذي يؤدي الى اغراق وتعمد اغراق مراكب الهجرة غير الشرعية والسبب في ذلك غياب الرقابة على المهربين وعدم وجود تشريع قانوني يعاقب المهربين في منطقة المغرب العربي ومصر
Translation: My next story which will be funded after this award, is about traffickers, smugglers of illegal immigrants, and the fight amongst these smugglers which sometimes leads to the deliberate sinking of illegal immigrants’ boats, the reason behind this being the absence of surveillance of traffickers and the absence of laws incriminating traffickers in Egypt and the Maghreb region.
