Masfine, an Ethiopian returnee, shares his journey: "I do not want to anybody to suffer like I did"

HoA-ET-Masfine

Masfine embarked on a five month journey from Ethiopia to South Africa, in the hopes of being able to provide for his family. He travelled through Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique on foot, by boat and hidden inside goods in transport Lorries. But his expectations were cut short at the last border.

Now, returnees, they share their journey.
