U trenutnoj raspravi o izbjeglicama čuju se svi - od političara koji se zalažu za graničnu kontrolu, do građana koji se boje da će izgubiti svoje poslove - svi osim samih migranata. Zašto dolaze? Novinar i član TED Fellow programa, Yasin Kakande, objašnjava što je njega i mnoge druge natjeralo da pobjegnu iz svoje domovine, potičući otvoreniju raspravu i novu perspektivu. On nas podsjeća da je ljudska priča priča o migraciji:" Ne mogu postojati dovoljno jake granice koje bi uspjele zaustaviti val migracije koji je odredio našu ljudsku povijest", kaže.
