Road to Europe - the hard way from Africa

For many African migrants in Europe, an oasis in the desert Ténéré Dirk (it is part of the Sahara Desert) last point before they cross the desert and will be in Libya. From Libya across the Mediterranean, they are moving to Europe. For many, an oasis of Dirk and all the way across the desert will be the beginning of a new life, and for some would be purgatory. Italian photographer Alfredo Bini, together with migrants has done part of the way from Marudi to Dirk. According to Alfredo crossing the desert itself is the easiest part of the way.
