🎙PODCAST | The Taxi Driver and the Man in the Wet Dress

In the final hours of Gabriela Sánchez’s reporting in Ceuta, she climbed into Zaid’s taxi. He asked the driver to take him one last time to the Tarajal border, before leaving to take the helicopter back to the peninsula. There was not much movement, but as he passed a bus shelter, Zaid saw a boy limping slightly to the stop. He noticed that he was wearing wet clothes under his tunic and told Gabriela that the boy had just swum across the border.

Zaid’s experience leads him to the right thing: Omar, let’s call him that, gets into the taxi with Gabriela and Zaid and begins a car journey through the streets of Ceuta that has no other route or destination than not to be discovered by the police.
