Ángela y Sulaiman: no todos los niños vuelven al colegio en Ceuta
El desafío de un regreso seguro a las aulas y la realidad de miles de niños que han cruzado la frontera, dos caras de la crisis migratoria en el inicio del curso escolar
Two sisters, Ángela and Hugo, are hesitant to return to school in Ceuta, despite the school being just a few meters away. Ángela, 10, is eager to leave hours behind before sitting at her desk, while Hugo, 12, is less enthusiastic as it will be his first year at high school. This school year poses a special challenge for their parents, who have had to explain the harsh reality their city is facing due to the influx of migrants from Morocco, reports Ángela and Hugo's mother, Tamara Iglesias.
Tamara explains, "We told them the truth with sincerity and we don't want to fall into the discourse of hate." Living in the center of the city, they feel privileged compared to those living in the peripheral areas, which have been much more tense during this crisis. On the first day back at school, Tamara told her son Ángela: "That's what I'm seeing, children like yours and even younger, walking by here barefoot, with a swimsuit and whether they've eaten or not." Starting this Tuesday, they will face a return to classrooms with strong safety measures in place.
