Bonjour, j'ai un exercice à faire pour demain, mais je ne n'arrive pas à répondre à trois questions pouvez-vous m'aidez svp ?
Africa’s football traffickers
Unscrupulous adults traffic increasing numbers of African youngsters to Europe, exploiting their dreams, then abandoning them.Fahd Abu Bakari is a 16 year old Ghanaian who lives in Accra. He told us he wanted to be the new Michael Essien and that agents were always turning up to his club’s games. Finding the money for the visa and passport to go to Europe is not easy, he said. Some boys ask their families to help them and then when they are successful they will pay them back. Fahd’s mother Christiana Kissiwah says she would love her son to go to Europe. She makes a modest living cooking and selling food from a stall outside her home. But Fahd and his parents are easy prey for the growing number of unlicensed so-called football academies and agents in Ghana. They claim – for a fat fee- that they can introduce a youngster to a top European club. Sometimes that fee is raised by desperate parents selling their home, handing over the deeds or selling family heirlooms like jewellery. For the children’s families there is no greater glory and financial reward than footballing success in Europe, despite impossible odds.
