countries living
conditions are dreadful.
food is a question of life
and death.
thousands of people die
from starvation.

are underdeveloped.

In many countries
dictatorship is still
existent. This often
leads people to
emigrate to countries
where civil rights,

For example, illegal
immagration is dealt with as a
crime, punishable with fines
of up to €10.000. Migrants
without a stay permit can be
held for up to 6 months in
detention centres. If they
are not granted a stay
permit, they are expelled and
must return to their own
country. The processes of
integration are recent in
Italy and vary according to
the local realities and the
immigrant groups.
Most of the Africans in Sicily are
Tunisians and Moroccans, but many are
from Nigeria and the Ivory Coast.
