  • Description: “Get out! GET OUT!” Tired, hungry and disorientated, Fazila squinted in the bright light streaming through the truck’s back door. The driver cut a large figure, and his silhouette offered her some respite from the glaring afternoon sun. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she asked “Are we there?” barely recognizing her own voice. She had not spoken for days in her full voice and her mouth was dry. Had she left Lubumbashi for South Africa four, five days ago? She could not be certain and had lost count. Her journey to South Africa seemed like one long arduous night cramped at the back of the truck with no windows.
