  • Hal Far, Malta - 20 August, 2012: (R-L) Somali migrant Abdullahi Ali Mohamed (25), his wife Dunia Ahmed Mohamed (29) and their daughter Bofana Mohamed (6) are in a recreational room of the Hal Far Family Center in Hal Far, Malta, on 20 August, 2012. Abdullahi arrived with his family in Malta on May 27, 2012, was held in detention with them for 9 days before being transferred to the family centre. Him and his family left Somalia because of the war on May 25th 2011 and took them about a year to arrive in Malta. They stayed in Libya about 9 months. Though smugglers in Libya ask $900 to each migrant who wants to cross the Mediterrannean Sea to reach Europe, Abdullahi agreed with one smuggler to pay $900 for his entire family, since it's all he had. Abdullahi and his family had one bottle of water for the 37 hours journey from Libya to Malta.<br />
<br />
1,597 migrants of 30 different nationalities arrived in Malta by boat in 2011. A person arriving in Malta without a valid passport or visa can be detained in terms of immigration law for a period up to 18 months (12 months in case of asylum seekers). Vulnerable individuals can be released early after vulnerability assessment procedures are conducted by the Agency for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers (AWAS).<br />

Shami co-founded the Migrants' 'Network for Equality' in 2010, after one migrant committed suicide, to give a 'voice' to the sub-saharan community. He works in a company specialized in ship maintenance. Speaking about integration of the migrants in the Maltese society, he says: "We're integrated with the Maltese, but there's racism at the top, among those who should be taking care of the refugees". He continues speakng about the amount of African workers in construction companies: "The Maltese don't like to work in construction. We built the new hospital!".. Shami sends back money to his family in Sudan, to his mother, two sisters and brother. He's currently writing a book called "Get on the boat". "Outside our country we are nobody. We are just black people", Shami says. Upon his arrival in Malta from Libya in 2004, Shami was in a detention center for 6 months.<br />
