Interviewed by a journalist at Berlingske Tidende, I argue how Somali refugee’s desperate flight from war and insecurity continue when entering Italy, where they, despite achieving refugee status in Italy, live on the streets, sleep in the parks and survive by eating food provided for free by the churches. One of their only options is to continue to move and seek asylum elsewhere, making use of desperate methods such as attempting to erase their fingerprints by burning their fingertips with flat irons
