West Africa migrants farm ex-Mafia land in Sicily
Many migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Libya eventually arrive on the Italian island of Sicily. While some European countries are trying to shut people out, one NGO in a rural Sicilian community believes that migrants are not a problem, but a solution. For the last few months a group of them have been trained to work in agriculture in the heartland of the Italian mafia, Corleone, on land confiscated from the gangsters.
