Show host Meron Estefanos helps refugees navigate everything from the perilous Mediterranean sea crossing to Europe’s complex asylum process“They don’t realise how cold it can pick up,sleeping in a tent. But you recede with whatever you can afford,” says Meron Estefanos of the impending winter weather soon to hit refugees stranded across Europe. “When you’re desperate, or what else can you accomplish?”
Estefanos,an activist turned journalist, runs a show on Radio Erena which has become a lifeline for many Eritreans who have escaped the repressive regime. Many have since made the perilous sea crossing to European shores, and now find themselves stuck in limbo navigating complex asylum processes.
