For weeks, thousands of migrants have been trapped between Poland and Belarus. The two countries are close to conflict.

The situation is deteriorating sharply between Poland and Belarus because of the situation of migrants present on the border between the two countries, and who are trying to reach Poland. On the roadsides, the migration crisis is visible to all, as thousands of people try to leave Belarus. “I want to go anywhere in Europe”, Explain Sajdan, an Iraqi man.

At the border, two camps oppose: the Poles and their army, stationed in front of the barbed wire, and the migrants, pushed to the border by armed men from Belarus. Some hope to cross the barbed wire and reach Europe. Belarusian President Lukashenko is accused by Europe of allowing people to pass voluntarily, for the purpose of revenge. The UN condemns the manipulation of the Belarusian despot, while migrants risk their lives there, without support from NGOs.
