It is just one of many stories. One of many reasons to leave home and eventually reach Europe.
But it is so powerful. If everyone read this book, I am sure our discussions on humanity would change drastically.

Books like this don't exist for a reason. It must be extremely difficult to speak about everything that happens on a journey like this one (I am calling it a journey because for the most part it was not a flight, but the word does not describe what Ibrahima Balde did well at all).

Can I quote the end poem of the book here? So powerful!
