In Limbo
Nowadays, around 200-300 refugees from the African continent still continue to migrate to the EU weekly. Refugees are desperately buying expensive seats in huge rubber boats from mafia and sailing towards the coasts of the Southern Italy. On board are young men and minors who are looking for a new home in Europe. For them Italy is the land of dreams.
Unfortunately the reality is not so pleasant. Upon arrival to Reggio newcomers have to spend around a week at the port. From there they are transported to the temporary detention camps which are rather different places - a gym, a hotel, an abandoned school or even a former prison where refugees would spend several years whilst trying to get the documents needed to stay in the country. Regardless of the living conditions, the life of men turned into a slow expectation of the results of consideration of their residency permit applications and unfortunately nobody could guarantee any chances. The life in limbo in the land of dreams began.
