10 Altaher

Altaher. 29 years old. Sudanese | His journey to the Calais Jungle lasted a year and a half. Today, Altaher has given up trying to reach Britain; he thinks it’s too complicated. Too expensive. Friends told him about Nantes and Angers. Without knowing these cities, he would like to settle there and work as a construction worker. Abdallah, Altaher’s roommate and compatriot, decorated their shelter. He too has not tried to cross the Channel for a long time. Where does he want to go? He no longer even knows. Abdallah doesn’t leave his house much anymore. Day and night, he paints, repaints, and beautifies their cabin in an almost mystical way. | Calais, France 2016
