Lampedusa, he disembarks wearing a police shirt: he dreams of being a policeman

Lampedusa, June 21st, at 20.30 pm, the Lampedusa Harbor Master's Office, about 23 miles from the island, intercepted a wooden boat with 40 people of various nationalities on board, who were transhipped and taken to the Favaloro pier. Upon disembarkation, the attention of the State Police operators, engaged in rescue activities, was attracted by a young Egyptian citizen, who was wearing a shirt very similar in shape to that of the operational uniform of the State Police, with lots of of frogs, but without grades, according to the boy purchased shortly before leaving in a market in Tripoli.
The aforementioned, aged 15, said that in May he had left the town of Fayoum, in the Egyptian hinterland, where he had left his family made up of his parents and 6 brothers; he had reached Libya, and from there he had boarded a dilapidated wooden boat, facing a dangerous journey to realize his dream of reaching Italy and settling in Milano, with the hope of being able to find a job.
And one of the jobs he strongly dreams of doing is being a policeman, and for this reason he had decided to spend the little money he had with him to buy the shirt displayed on the market stall and thus feel, at least in appearance, like an Italian policeman.
