The political and social- economic situation in some African countries triggers illegal immigration to other countries.In the process immigrants go through a lot of problems / tribulations as depicted in the story " Twilight Trek " by Sefi Atta.
The immigrants have to acquire fake visas as the narrator change his identity to Jean Luc. The foreign embassies do not grant visas.The traveler have to wait until night falls to travel.
The immigrants travel under very hostile conditions.They are warned that they risk attack from Moslems and Bandicts. Trucks often break down and no rescue is guaranteed.In the desert,the sand is like needles to their eye,and ants to their nostrils.The travelers cough and wheeze,the narrators tongue swells and the Touregs exploit the travelers.
The immigrants live under pathetic hygienic conditions. Travelers in the truck reek badly.Patience's breath smells of sardines.The camp is like an open sewer,people have not had bath for days.They cough and scratch.The air they breathed carried plagues.
The immigrants have difficulty reaching the foreign land. Obabze is beaten by guards on patrol.Dinghies capsize and people drown.The pregnant Nigerian woman dies together with her child.The Siera Leon man tries to scale the barbed wire which practically shreds him.Immigrants swim across the salty water.A man from mali crosses the Sahara on foot,he is apprehended by Moroccan forces and he 's repatriated and to find his way with the same two legs he has used.
