Extract

In an article titled “Paris on My Mind,” writer Abdourahman Waberi, born in Djibouti and a resident of France, maps the path of his protagonist’s migrations: “Of course, he will leave Paris with all his family. His wanderings will widen forever. The migration will continue. Let us follow his itinerary, year after year: Lusaka, Lagos, Nairobi, London, Denver, Philadelphia ... “ The migration pattern of Waberi’s protagonist is all too common and real. After short returns to African soil, many Africans make their final move to the United States.
