“Forgotten Eritrean Refugees” is a photodocumentary that explores part of Eritreans history to understand what drives them into exile in Europe, There are approximately 170,000 Eritrean refugees living in Ethiopia mostly in the camps of northern Tigray. In this extremely hot and arid area in 2019, almost 200 refugees were crossing every day the border, with an alarming proportion of youth and children. The fate of refugees living in the camps and the issue of opportunities to improve life is crucial if we consider the flow of unaccompanied minors. How to grow up? What will be tomorrow? Life in the camps is therefore a day by day in an eternal restart, with little hope of improvement and little help from outside. Refugees must find their own way to resilience. This is evidenced by the many Eritreans stuck in the camps after going through the hell of kidnapping and violence in Sinai in the 2010s: Eritrean have been victims of massive human rights violations, their history is one of violence, the physical and moral sequelae of which they bear. Systematically kidnapped, transferred, and sold to different groups of traffickers from the border with Sudan to Egypt, the Eritreans were a good target because no one protected them, neither their country nor the international community. Once brought to Sinai, exiles were ransomed and tortured before being freed or killed. Now in the camps, for some, the only hope and desire are to return to their motherland, for others, especially the youngest, the situation in the camps and the uncertain future pushes them into a further exile. For now, in the camps, it is striking to see the strength of these people to live with what little they have, how they manage to transform the lives of the camp into a village and to keep their heads up and heal their wounds. These people show courage and resilience and no doubt an ability to rebuild if they were ever given the opportunity.
