10 hrs agoPart 1 : The Dream That Wouldn't Die
My name is Aisha. I am 18, from a small dusty village near Bamako, Mali. I used to sit on the roof at night and watch the stars. Sometimes, I imagined one of them was Europe.
Joseph was from Ghana. He was 22, with sharp eyes and a quiet voice. We met in a Facebook group called “Africa to Europe — real ways.” We talked every day for five months.
He said, “I don’t want to be rich. I just want to live like others. Peace, light, work, food.”
I smiled. “Me too.”
In my village, we had no electricity after 10pm. Water came twice a week. My mother worked 14 hours washing clothes for rich families. My father had died in a bus accident when I was 12.
One day, Joseph texted:
“Aisha, I have a plan. We can go together. Mali to Burkina to Niger. Then Libya. Then... Europe.”
My hands shook. I was scared. But I also felt alive.
I packed a small bag: two dresses, my father’s old scarf, and a photo of Mama.
I wrote her a letter:
“I love you. I will come back stronger. I want to give you a real house, Mama.”
I met Joseph in Sikasso. He held my hand and said,
“We walk now. No turning back.”
