Why human trafficking is so popular in Africa
Why is human trafficking so popular in Africa? What makes people go into human trafficking in Africa and what kind of people work in human trafficking? How does Human trafficking work and why is it especially popular in central Niger?
The only way to reach Europe for migrants is with the help of people smugglers, the scapegoats of our era. Who are these men making money off migrants? You can meet them in Agadez, the largest city in central Niger that lies in the Sahara at the crossroads of the Sahel. The ancient caravan town has become the smuggle capital of West Africa.
In the travel series The Trek, Bram Vermeulen travels through Africa to get to know the key players in the migration debate. The Trek is a current and urgent travel series, close to the migrants in an attempt to understand more about the main debate topic of our time. It is about the migrants, and thus, also about ourselves.
Bram Vermeulen travels to the smuggling capital of West Africa: Agadez, in Niger. This city has for centuries been the crossroads of the Sahel, the last stop for migrants on their way to Libya. The smuggling seems to go through a strict schedule, which everyone knows: migrant smugglers, police and army. In this episode, the smugglers give us unprecedented access to their work and life, at a time when the European Union tries to stop their work properly. Discover the city, meet the smugglers and get a look behind the scenes. Is it possible to like a smuggler?
