A woman named Badia Belatik gave an emotional video statement to Fes News, recounting a painful story about her missing son who attempted to migrate illegally after losing his job due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the video, the woman spoke about the distressing details she and her son faced. Her son had been employed before the pandemic but was forced to stop working due to the circumstances.
According to her statement, her son tried to travel to Europe through Algeria after agreeing with some individuals who promised to help him migrate in exchange for a large sum of money. However, things did not go as expected. He was asked to pay additional amounts, which led to escalating tensions between him and these individuals. Shortly after traveling, contact with her son was lost, and she no longer knew his fate, causing her to live in a state of extreme anxiety and fear.
Badia Belatik spoke bitterly about her desperate attempts to search for her son, whether through contacting the concerned individuals or through the authorities, but to no avail. In her statement, she also appealed to officials and relevant authorities to intervene urgently and help her find out her son’s fate and bring him back to her.
This video reflects the suffering of many families who have lost their children in attempts at illegal migration, and highlights the need to take strict measures to protect young people from falling into the trap of these risks.
