Yagoub is a tall, elegant 50-year-old Sudanese man with a calm voice and gentle manner, and he was, first of all, also a political refugee when he left his country in 1989 to escape the Islamic regime. Every day in Turin, Yagoub meets dozens of migrants whom he helps find housing, jobs, studies, and paperwork. Yagoub solves problems, puts lives back together. He also works in Brussels, where he is Vice President of ECRE (European Council on Refugees and Exiles), whose mission is to protect and promote the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. Each story Yagoub hears comes from a different country, such as Regina's Nigeria, Hala's Yemen, Berthin's Congo, Liliam's Brazil. Stories that seek a listening ear, but also success stories. While Yagoub helps others, her family is threatened by war in Sudan and is waiting for Europe's only black diplomat to get her out of the country as soon as possible.
