00:00It was hard, complicated, really. I left Guinea when I was 14 years old, I went to several countries, then I went to the desert, then to the sea.
00:09And thank God I got here, I'm doing well, I have a job, I'm studying as much as I can, I'm not complaining.
00:14I'm trying to get ahead.
00:16I tried it several times and I had a best friend who became my best friend in the desert.
00:22We had an accident and he stayed in the sea there. We couldn't find him, he stayed here.
00:29And that's why I still don't know how to swim. I have that trauma in my head, I still don't know how to swim.
00:34We think that here is paradise, but in the end it's the other way around.
00:38I came with an idea, I got here and then I got hit by a bus and I tell you, no, the reality is completely different, it's not the same.
00:45So what I say to the people who are here, before coming, try to have a little study.
00:50A little study, to know how to read, to know what you want.
00:53And then here you keep studying, but if you come and you don't have any intellectual baggage, in the end it's complicated.
00:59Well, let's say goodbye. What is your message to the world?
01:02For the world, that immigrants are not criminals.
01:06That yes, we have our flaws and we are not perfect, but that we are not criminals.
01:10That they try to know us before judging us.
01:13That we have our flaws, but if they don't know, they're really going to be surprised.
01:18That they do as the people we are welcomed, that they try to know us, to listen to us, to support us.
01:23That in the end we are human beings like everyone else.
01:26That by helping us, we will have a better world.
01:29So nothing, a kiss and a greeting.
