Egypt has taken to the airwaves to raise awareness among young people and their families about the severe consequences of illegal migration. The government produced a host of radio ads and two serial programs last month to fight the practice, which has been growing wildly.
“The lessons presented in the series will contribute to raising the awareness of young people and expand their understanding of the risks they run by taking illegal immigration routes,” Naela Gabr, head of the National Coordinating Committee on Combating and Preventing Illegal Migration, told the state news agency MENA.
