Give us a job so I don't smuggle people

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

A Libyan people smuggler tells the Âé¶¹Éç why he publicly confessed on Twitter to his former trade and then touted for jobs in the oil industry. Our North Africa correspondent, Rana Jawad, heard from the man - whom we're calling Husayn to protect his identity - how his tweet had prompted both condemnation and support.
