The Exodus

For the several past years the migration crisis has been a hot topic,
but Eastern Europe has scarcely been mentioned in this context.
Motivated by bad politics, low wages and high corruption, every day,

better tomorrow somewhere in Western Europe.

And while they know the answer to why they are leaving,
many questions still remain.
