Latest Breaking News On - Moussa camara - Page 1 : vimarsana.com
Orphaned during a coup in his homeland Guinea, teenager Moussa Camara took to sea in a wooden boat with 240 other migrants, enduring an 11-day voyage, half of it without food and fresh water, before reaching the Canary Islands. Yet when Camara made it on Oct. 27 exhausted, famished and nursing sores from the sun, another problem beset him: police registered him as an adult and he was not allowed into a centre for minors with the better opportunities available. "We are children ... they betrayed us," he said with a friend also classed as an adult at an old military base in Tenerife's mountains, where some 2,000 migrants await transfers to mainland Spain or permission to go elsewhere in Europe.
