General
SENEGAL TO ITALY
He moved from Senegal to Europe in 2014 to improve his living conditions. "I moved from Senegal because living in Africa with a physical disability is very difficult, there is no future for those like me. This is why I started travelling to Europe, where I had a friend who played wheelchair basketball. I put all my savings aside and joined him in France. Then I came to Italy, because I couldn't stay in Paris, I didn't have the necessary documents or money. I arrived in Milan without a job, with nothing. I applied for asylum."
