Noble

For three years, he survived in very insecure conditions. He tried several times to cross the border into the Spanish enclaves in the north of Morocco, but several times the boat or Zodiac in which he attempted the sea crossing was caught in the middle of the sea by Moroccan customs, he was subjected to police violence, he was turned back in the south of Morocco but always came back to hide in the forests of the north.

One day, during yet another attempt to climb the Ceuta barrier, he fell and broke his shoulder. Recovered by the Darna association, he was cared for by Leïla, who later hid him in her farm during the ‘hunt for the Black Man’ in Tangier. On this farm he discovered permaculture and after more than a year of practice he questioned his materialistic aspirations and saw an African future in permaculture.

Then came the tragic death of his younger brother Alpha on his first crossing of the Mediterranean from Sfax.
Today Souleymane teaches permaculture in Morocco, and also works for landscapers in Marrakech and elsewhere. But above all Souleymane is fighting to get his papers back. He wants to go back to Guinea to see his mother, who blames him for the death of his little brother, and to talk to Amadou, Alpha’s partner in crime, who saved his life and seems to know where Alpha’s body is buried in Sfax.
Souleymane will only be able to resume his life and his permaculture activity in Morocco or Guinea once he has found his little brother’s grave.
