Description
“We Died Before We Arrived” is a gripping, real-world account of the dangerous and deadly journey thousands of West Africans endure across the vast, unforgiving Sahara Desert—all in a desperate attempt to reach Libya.
This powerful book does not tell the story of the Mediterranean Sea crossings. Instead, it focuses on what many never hear about—the agonizing trek through West Africa’s hidden migration routes, the human trafficking networks, and the unimaginable conditions faced before even reaching Libya.
It unveils the silent deaths, lost hopes, and unseen graves of those who never made it. These are stories buried in the sand—of young people from Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, and other nations who believed in a better life but died before they arrived.
