A 19-year-old tells of his harrowing ordeal at the hands of traffickers who tricked him and his parents.
In our series of letters from African journalists, Ismail Einashe meets a man who recounts how he was tricked into going to work in Libya - and how he escaped.
Another Bangladeshi now in Sicily explained how he was able to leave in 2016 at the age of 15 thanks to the dalals. The dalals capitalise on the hopes of young people like Ali trying to escape poverty and hemmed in by a lack of opportunity. "They beat someone in front of me who had blood pouring from his groin. They didn't help him or take him to hospital," Ali says.
"If we stopped working we were beaten, kicked and thrown to the ground. One time one of us broke a tile, then a man came and kicked the guy," Ali says."The owner took us to work and then when we were done he took us home. There were two guards watching us. We didn't get paid for the job, there wasn't enough food and so we wanted to run away.After various failed escape attempts, a kindly Libyan helped Ali find refuge at a mosque.
