This video isn't a persuation to bring in as many refugees as possible.. it's only shedding light into one particular situation where a village was crumbling and through the help of those in need are working to bring it back. It also focuses in one family who brought in a total stranger and made him feel welcome, it's a beautiful short video about that. Regardless, of what you think of the refugees this video was beautiful and doesn't deserve the downvotes it's getting.
Onigbajamo call him whatever you want.. he left his home country because he was having a hard time living there.. you'd do the same, if there ever was a reason to get your ass off from that computer screen.
Dumb Bitch, seeing as I'm originally from his country's neighbour I did leave my country. The difference is that I left legally. I didn't invent some false story to get into the West.
This village looks exactly like my village in the atlas mountains in algeria , If I go to Italy, I will go here because they are simple and humble people, just like the people of my village , I will feel safe with these beautiful people.
It's the early story of ONE in what, ten? fifteen-thousand immigrants? What happens when young Assan sees that Italy cannot absorb more people and he still does NOT feel Italian? He will turn against them. It's only human nature.
AAYUSHMAN SENGAR they are unhappy ignorant people afraid of any change and ANYTHING different. It's quite sad. These people would have kept us in the Stone Age if they ran things. 😔
*with great amounts of sarcasam* Oh yes because in Canada they're tearing the land apart! Oh thank you guy who uses a klans man avatar for showing me the way!
Oh boy more ignorant trolls doom saying about people in trouble. *Sarcastic* Please enlighten me on how the Refugees are tearing apart our way of life. It'd be good for a laugh.
your discrimination is not good calling a segment of people"unwanted parasites" shows what type of human you are judging people because of where they happened to be be born and raised and their beleifs you are simply saying that you are better than them if you think that there are people who are better than others then you have a bigger problem that i can not solve.
That is how people feel but people still go and settle there Italians are not only living in Italy Why dont u discourage them from going to Africa, america etc
Please remember that this is a story of a refugee, not an immigrant. Refugees did not have a choice when they have to leave their beloved countries, unlike immigrants who moved on their own decisions. So, for refugees to be taken in into a good community will be most likely a blessing to them and I dont think they will exploit it.
He isn't a refugee. What crisis is he fleeing in Senegal? None. He's an illegal immigrant who's taking the opportunity away from people who truly deserve it.
let me get this straight: there were no jobs in Camini, but all of the sudden, the 'refugees' came and jobs are abundant? it doesn't make sense. This documentary is so biased! makes me sick
The youth move away as the jobs in the village are not desirable to them, as the world advances they want to move to the urban areas, and the bigger cities, and live a different type of life. The refugees, however, are more willing to do the village, rural style jobs, such as construction. It's not a case of lack of jobs, its a lack of jobs they want.
you have a point Becca, the trouble is refugees are there not because they are willing/ready to do the village life, but because that's where they are housed by the government until their status is clarified. I'm sure most of them don't have all the paperwork in order yet. But once they get that, they will move to the city. Village death is common throughout Europe and not only. I used to live in China and it was similar. So why the need to lie here? to make immigrants more sympathetic to the rest of us? The problem with this documentary is the fact that it's pure propaganda. It reminds me the communist propaganda, showing happy workers building the socialism under a blazing sun. The reality was quite different back then and so it is today.
***** Oh, is it? Sorry, if you can't see how biased and silly this documentary is and how it only showcases one point of view to get one reaction, you're very naive or biased yourself. This is not about immigrants working or being integrated. They show one case and extrapolate to an entire community. They say IN THE TITLE the immigrants are saving a village, which is not the case really. To put this in the title is an attempt to manipulate, a clear mark of propaganda. Who's intellectually lazy here? Are you trying to teach me what manipulation is, because you're a supporter of the current immigration policies? I try to look at this from a scientific perspective and I see all the ingredients of manipulation in this particular piece. You have no clue if I support immigration or not in the first place. Just because I recognize this for what it is, it doesn't mean I'm against immigrants or immigration in general. I think you should chill a little and read my comments carefully, before you jump into accusations. I lived in times you can't dream about and in places you've never been to and most likely never will and I also have a degree in social sciences.
I could accept this sort of videos (really) if Nat Geo would be impartial and also show the problems generated by the refugees in some countries. In that case i could accept these """optimistic""" videos; it would be an impartial look on the matter. I'd love to see them covering both sides of this immigration wave. the good side of nice men like Assan, but also the bad side of people which aren't willing to integrate at all and don't respect their new home.
They are not fleeing war, they are economic invaders. Last time I looked, Bangladesh and Algeria weren't at war with anyone, neither is Senegal. And of the ones actually from Syria, only one in five can prove that with documentation, and their documents are often fake. Syria is an excuse to get stuff. Next the money we pay to house these people's in our lands if they actually war refugees would be far more economically spent to help a much larger contingent of people in the region from where they came. For every migrant that comes to Europe you could have paid for the housing and care of fifteen in the Middle East, fifteen. So that one Senegalese is stealing from fifteen actual Syrians or Iraqis fleeing war. Then the countries adjacent to the war zone are the ones that are to take in the actual refugees, the globe then pays to look after them, and these people are in a culturally and racially similar environment. After the conflict is over, THESE PEOPLE THEN ARE TO GO HOME !! It's basic international law. And is only far to all involved. We have no moral, legal or economic imperative to look after populace overflow from the third world, NONE. End of post.
Fact Supply Most of the wars started with and by each other's tribes. How is that supposed to make them all deserving refugees? Something isn't right about the premise of them being refugees.
What violence in Senegal is Assan fleeing from? Many West Africans that make these trips aren't refugees fleeing from any crises. They're just immigrants.
AaaaNinja The people who lived there likely had different desires in life, lifestyles that are unattainable in a remote village. Migrants' needs are much simpler: freedom from the danger they're running from. They find what they need in this village where the original inhabitants found no life.
+* You deoplyed the dog Quick lesson time, if someone's name is "João", instead of "Juan", then it is almost always a lusophone name, usually meaning that the person is from Brazil, and sometimes from Portugal, so how is he supposed to go back if he's nowhere near you guys in the first place lol. Just wanted to clarify that, since it's a bit tough to tell ignorant people how it really is, and then afterwards have an ignorant statement. People won't be as convinced due to the lack of consistency ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know it is sad all the way around. You want to help people but at the same time you want to protect your own people. The fact is there are many great people who are looking for help and are nice, kind and good people but then you get thugs from another country who make things bad. Finding the balance between help and not opening yourself up to the criminal element is quite a challenge either way you look at it.
They don’t even have to fully assimilate (notice he was still Muslim). Just learn and respect the language and culture, and don’t form ethnic enclaves in the host country and become so hostile. Then everyone can live together in peace.
Yes This is How it should be! Christian and Muslim live together In -PEACE and LOVE! Keep it up respect one another! You All are Blessed! Be an Example to the world! Please don't get change keep it up be the sumple of PEACE...🙏🙏🙏🎓🎓🎓
this is the sweetest thing I have ever seen we are one big human family when we remove the labels no matter what part of the world we are living or a belief system we may have we are one family separated by different geography
Don't worry people, refugees are not dangerous and won't turn Europe into a Muslim continent. A Muslim minority in Europe is neither a new thing, nor will it have any impact on our culture or economy.
Dear Anti-Refugee people.... Why all the butthurt? These people have been good for the development of this village, just because you don't like the fact, doesn't make that fact is untrue. Just saying.
I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I am so happy for Assan. He has found a family in a foreign country, and he is part of the community. Sadly, most of us don't live like that anymore. The refugees who come to live in big cities have it much harder.
Jen Nifer wow were from? I doubt you are from any reasonable place since blocking freedom of speach is normal to you. Either that or you are an ex-communist, you probably suport the partisans by the way, am I right?
Jen Nifer Yes, indigenous genetically Europeans going Extinct like the dinosaur, and we're being replaced by Third Worlders in our own Homeland. Are we suppose to be Happy?
What a beautiful example of love and peace and human beings helping each other. If only the rest of the world could follow this wonderful way of living with our human family; no walls, no divisions, just love and respect for our uniqueness! God bless them always and may we follow their example!
As italian, I can only be extremely happy and proud of them. I'm glad to see them having a second chance in life! Every human being deserve a chance to improve their life condition.
Italy population is shrinking There no other Choice but to let in lots of Indians and other immigrant into Italy so let do this And this is coming from a Italian:)
@@shhss3828 il problema non è come voglio farvi credere quello della bassa natalità..in portogallo ad oggi sono migrati oltre 3000 giovani, altri in Polonia, Romania, ancora molti in Uk, ireland, Germania etc...perché non c'è lavoro qualificato per tutti..
I mean these are homes that are run down and being restored, and villages being revived. If you really dont want the immigrants to go there, then why arent Italians encouraged to back to their villages?
Tiger Lilly you get that the housing stock will be a state asset right? You get that a boosted economy leads to other structured growth such as in agriculture and tourism right? Its good just to help people in terrible need, but the results are not all painful they can be beneficial!
Hey, National Geographic, bring them to your house, then I will write an article about how great it is that you had an empty bedroom and that it was dying out!
it's insane what's happening in Europe. Why they want to accept everybody, what is the main reason ? This will change completely our culture! I Hope people will realize soon and change the leaders . All the best from Hungary!
Shouldn't a woman be able to dress however she likes? Don't get me wrong, i find slut clothing distasteful, but it's no excuse for any sexual assault. If a man feels a urge to sexually assault a woman only because of her clothes, it means he already has some very serious issues, and he's incompatible with society.
Gunni19 00 I'm not the hypocrite here... You called someone a bigot while expressing your own sexist bigotry. I would have expected your kind of thinking more than half a century ago, at least in most Western nations.
This video and story are a breath of fresh air. I'm so tired of the hate and horrible language used to describe people fleeing Africa and the Middle East. It was so nice to see someone welcomed for a change! Thank you!
It is truly sad that no one can see the positive message that this video is trying to send. I think it is amazing that the refugees did such a beautiful thing for that village.
What "kind"? You cannnot classify people in "kinds". Every Person is responsable for their behavior themself. Being muslim doesn´t make you a rapist. Being a german doesn´t make you a facist.
syarifah sadiyah why is it the responsibility of European countries to take in these people instead of where these migrants came from . Countries like the middle east and africa should be ashamed that the so called infidels are taking care of their peasants.
Most people don't have issues with their color of the skin or where they came from. The issue is that they most often have very different values since they were brought up in a different culture and that's the problem that cannot be solved. This is a lovely story, but non the less, It is just that, a story, not a reality in most cases. Also, It smells like propaganda to me.
Yes, it was too good to be true and too much emphasis was placed on the closeness of their relationship. And then we get to the point of "My God is not your God and my God is the right God." What does it matter the manner of praying? If we go to church or the synagogue or the mosque or into nature, as long as we pray to God it is valid and shows our universal love but here again there was a "Stop, here is where we diverge." Definitely propaganda.
Nite Rocks Don't be foolish. Do you really think that humans are so simple? The issue is not skin deep, It goes all the way to the bone. What is the point of denying the cultural difference?
As soon as he mentioned he is a Muslim ppl gonna start hating and being ignorant just because of that grow up for god sake half of y’all taking about Italian culture know nothing about Italian culture. Stop being Islamphobic
STAND AND FIGHT !!! PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER PROTECT YOUR WIFES PROTECT YOUR PARENTS PROTECT YOU FAMILY PROTECT YOUR HOMELAND !!! PEOPLES WHO DESERVE TO BE HELPED WONT ACT LIKE THIS , WAKE UP, YOU ARE HELPING THE WRONG ONES !!
At least these immigrants speak Italian and try to integrate, this is the immigrants we want but instead we get the wrong Somalis who just isolate themselves
The village was crumbling because all the Italian inhabitants have been forced to emigrate due to a lack of jobs, economic opportunities and education. So while those things are not available to the Italians,suddenly they are available to foreigners.
Careful, planned immigration like this is ideal. Canada and other nations are doing it, too. I'm sure the US has small towns with virtually nobody left that we could bring Syrian families to.
So you'll post a video of the rare instances that massive refugee flows turn out decent but wont post a video of the chaos in Calais or the rapes at nearly every social gathering in Germany
556forlunch : You clueless fool. Where do you have your info from? Fox news? U.S.A. is a much more dangerous place seems like. You have more casualties at your schools then we have in our whole country even with refugees.
Yes, this is just propaganda. They single out one individual of good character who has integrated well into the community. Also, it doesn't sound like they have had a huge influx of migrants, so the few that have come are more pressured to integrate and adapt to the culture. Elsewhere, though these economic migrants are coming at such a rate as to displace the native population. They don't have an incentive to integrate, and instead force their own backwards culture onto the host country. This video, while heartwarming, is very deceptive. I found it interesting that they didn't show us any of the other 80+ migrants in the town. How are they getting along? Has the crime rate increased, etc? Do they speak Italian and dress as westerners as Assan has done? These questions are conveniently glossed over.
So the original villagers had to leave because of no money and jobs. Now they pay for the African people to come and live in the houses that the Italian villagers couldn't afford. I bet the people that had to leave feel really good about that.
People hating on this are just hating because their lives didn't enable them to have an ability that these people do to take a stranger and make him a member of their family. That man's son and daughter have another brother and he another son, and that speaks for itself. All that you haters have is an ability to turn a stranger into an enemy, and not enough mental calm or intelligence to do otherwise.
go google German-volunteer-honour-killing. (direct links get seen as spam) Sorry to break this to you, but there are some people who are raised to see kindness as weakness.
So this guy was the first person in history who got killed trying to help someone? And thus no one ever should try to help anyone because of that? go google 'doctors without borders'
The people of Europe have absolutely no obligation or moral right to hand over to invaders the 'better life' which took generations of their own forefathers slaving away to create for them. It is a legacy for future generations of our own people. The other people have their own countries, to build up and make a go of, if they fail it is neither our fault nor our responsibility. After the Second World War Germany rebuilt itself to a first world nation in only twenty years, the same with Japan, both these nations were industrially devasted, but they bounced back thanks to the will, intellectual superiority and hard work of their people. The same goes for the UK, France, Italy, South Korea, etc. These nations are the sum total of the people that created them, and their countries reflect the personality and tenacity of those people. If you fill up Germany with North Africans or Bangladeshis, it will fall to their native level of economic output, trustworthiness, lack of enlightenment values, etc. Wake up, you have no right to give away the legacy left for future generation by our ancestors, just because of some historically fleeting disorder called pathological altruism. Thanks.
dleetr Some of us believe helping the weak and ones in need is what makes us human and thus stronger. And also that we are all one species. I see a boy who doesn't have to suffer anymore and can grow as a person as he has a new family that loves him and sees him as another human. You obviously don't believe that and see some invading force backed up by your "knowledge" of history and how them african lot deserve it based on it. Good luck with that rethoric bro, really
My rhetoric is doing great because it's demonstratively true, people are waking up on mass that everything that they took for granted will be lost. You can't base a civilisation on muh feelz, That "boy" as you inaccurately describe him for emotional impact and nothing else would be nothing of the sort as it has actually been conclusively found that most of these self described refugee children are in fact adults. Recent danish study for example www.thelocal.dk/20150622/refugee-children-in-denmark-found-to-be-adults .. The vast bulk of the remainder that don't use this ruse are military age males, not women or children. You cannot deny that we are letting in an army into our borders. Never before in history has anything so nuts been allowed. That the host population would let in and pay for it's replacement population. Well actually i'm wrong, this is what islam does, but the islamic conquests of the past involved war, then subjugation of the conquered people through oppressive taxation to pay for the preferential breeding and support of the invading muslim. So we are repeating an historical pattern except in our case we are letting it happen without firing a shot in self defense. This state of affairs will not stand in the long term and your favoured boy will likely not stand idly by as europeans start expressing their long repressed anger over this population replacement regime, this genocide of the actually quite diverse european peoples and cultures with long histories and deep roots in the land they inhabit. Finally because i must address this, to declare that somehow wanting to keep your own land for yourself is somehow less moral than giving away your children's future to invading hoards, is nothing less than the purest evil. These other nations would never let us do the same to them, it's only white nations where this game of replacement is being played, only white nations. We are being genocided by people with less morals than the people that freely brought civilisation to the world, ended slavery and whom without the technology of, most of these third world people would not be alive. So here these poeple come, ostensibly to take food out of the mouths of our children, to stop our children from even being born because of the vast swathes of europeans youth that cannot find employment and so have decided to put off pairing off, perhaps forever. Then they comit crime and violence at rates never before seen in europe, burning down a migrant centre because they can't get enough nutella for example www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3960366/Migrants-burned-refugee-centre-causing-10-million-damage-wasn-t-Nutella-Gummibears-chocolate-German-Red-Cross-worker-reveals.html having a rape game that is so entrenched in their culture that it has a name 'Taharrush' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3395390/The-Arabic-gang-rape-Taharrush-phenomenon-sees-women-surrounded-groups-men-crowds-sexually-assaulted-spread-Europe.html.. the abuses are minute by minute with these people, they are not the best of the countries that they came from, they are the mentally unstable dregs that could not get on in their own lands and want to bludge in ours and yet you desire to unleash these maniacs upon the people of europe and then seek to claim some moral superiority for it. Give me a break already. Wake up.
Bro I'm a conservative and many Italians too have come to the point that Without mass migration to the SOUTH Italy is fked up High pension Less children Debt
Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring short documentary. It's good to see that there are genuinely kind and compassionate people helping others, especially refugees.
Do these people look like Middle Eastern Arabs to you?. These are Black Africans NOT Arabs. Arabs are Caucasians from Western Asia NOT Africa. Just because Arabs conquered East Africa does not mean Black Africans are "Arabs" just like Black Africans in South Africa are not "Europeans". And most immigrants in Italy and Europe are actually Black Africans, South Asians(Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi), East Asians, and North African Berbers. Middle Eastern people are very rare in Europe. And just because someone's religion is Muslim(Islam) does NOT mean they are Arab. Anyone can be a Muslim like anyone can be a Christian.

what is wrong with people??? how can they throw so much hate towards such a positive story??
because it's obvious propaganda.

You haven't hit Muslim Critical Mass yet.
And now it's not an Italian village.
Is a village without people a village?
If it doesn't have Italians, it's not Italian anymore.
what makes a city/village italian is it's location. the village is in italy, therefore it is italian!
so the people of Camini who are italian welcome them what's your problem?
your discrimination is not good calling a segment of people"unwanted parasites" shows what type of human you are judging people because of where they happened to be be born and raised and their beleifs you are simply saying that you are better than them if you think that there are people who are better than others then you have a bigger problem that i can not solve.
Italy 🇮🇹 for the Italians 🇮🇹
They must go back
That is how people feel but people still go and settle there

Why dont u discourage them from going to Africa, america etc
Never move to Italy then :)
Make sure you don’t go there either

let me get this straight: there were no jobs in Camini, but all of the sudden, the 'refugees' came and jobs are abundant? it doesn't make sense. This documentary is so biased! makes me sick
What jobs are that?
At least in Germany the "refugees" are almost completely unemployable. I don't understand why it would be any different in Italy.
The youth move away as the jobs in the village are not desirable to them, as the world advances they want to move to the urban areas, and the bigger cities, and live a different type of life.

Hey...Nat. Geo. You were, at one time, worth watching (nice photography).
Let's see the sharia law parts.
I could accept this sort of videos (really) if Nat Geo would be impartial and also show the problems generated by the refugees in some countries.
In that case i could accept these """optimistic""" videos; it would be an impartial look on the matter.
I'd love to see them covering both sides of this immigration wave. the good side of nice men like Assan, but also the bad side of people which aren't willing to integrate at all and don't respect their new home.
They always made articles about refugees around the world in the past. You would know if you actually read Nat.Geo.

It says people left Camini because they couldn't find jobs. But the refugees came and repopulated Camini. What happened? Did they create jobs?
AaaaNinja they moved to the cities. That is what happens to villages.
It's a scam. They all live off welfare. Big bucks coming from the national government, that is from our tax money. But , hey, don't tell NAT GEO!!!
They do jobs young italians don’t want and young italians also migrate to the cities to study
Koni V. Escobar What jobs? I can't imagine a small village has that many in demand jobs...
AaaaNinja The people who lived there likely had different desires in life, lifestyles that are unattainable in a remote village. Migrants' needs are much simpler: freedom from the danger they're running from. They find what they need in this village where the original inhabitants found no life.
They are rebuilding an old town....what is bad about this?
The actions of many have tarnished the reputation of the few.
They don't belong there they will have to leave.

There's nothing more ignorant on this planet than racism
I thought this was a moving and beautiful story.
Thanks NG. I losted my faith in Humanity months ago and after see this video I gained a little more faith, but after seeing the comments section...
That's because this is a fucking propaganda piece.
Refugees actually assimilating and working is like a fucking unicorn at this point.
* You deployed the dog You have a problem. :D
João Pedro Costa Ferreira
You have to go back, Pedro.
:^)
+* You deoplyed the dog Quick lesson time, if someone's name is "João", instead of "Juan", then it is almost always a lusophone name, usually meaning that the person is from Brazil, and sometimes from Portugal, so how is he supposed to go back if he's nowhere near you guys in the first place lol.
Just wanted to clarify that, since it's a bit tough to tell ignorant people how it really is, and then afterwards have an ignorant statement. People won't be as convinced due to the lack of consistency ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know it is sad all the way around. You want to help people but at the same time you want to protect your own people. The fact is there are many great people who are looking for help and are nice, kind and good people but then you get thugs from another country who make things bad. Finding the balance between help and not opening yourself up to the criminal element is quite a challenge either way you look at it.
It's proved again we don't care about religion, race, color and whatever. My love and respect for that family from Bangladesh.
until the first mosque appears
It was dying and when they came it died
exactly, now the village is not italian anymore, is like going in another country
This seems like the healthiest thing Italy can be doing right now.
Killing themselves? Yeah that sure seems healthy to me. lol
525Lines actually it backfired
He's just one positive story
Ghengis Khan 😂😂😂
A good example on how to being a good immigrant: respect the country host's culture, learn their language, assimilate, love the country
EXACTLY.
They don’t even have to fully assimilate (notice he was still Muslim). Just learn and respect the language and culture, and don’t form ethnic enclaves in the host country and become so hostile. Then everyone can live together in peace.
Yes This is How it should be! Christian and Muslim live together In -PEACE and LOVE! Keep it up respect one another! You All are Blessed! Be an Example to the world! Please don't get change keep it up be the sumple of PEACE...🙏🙏🙏🎓🎓🎓
Aulia A shut up
When a country welcomes you with open arms you can do that. When a country doesn't - you can't.
This made me so happy, I hope that others refugees find happiness and acceptance like him ❤️
I am Italian, and the situation is very different in the rest of the country.
In fact, the government turned right wing now.
Good people good luck!
Thank you for posting this! Really made my day.
this is the sweetest thing I have ever seen we are one big human family when we remove the labels no matter what part of the world we are living or a belief system we may have we are one family separated by different geography
Just when i restored my hope in humanity, the comment section ruined it.. Judging people without knowing them proves how small minded you are!
Except they do know. You're the ignorant one.
Yeah, you keep believing what the media tells what to believe.
That they're actual refugees who just wants safety in Europe? Get fucked, commie.
Yeah, fucked right in the ass.
Don't worry people, refugees are not dangerous and won't turn Europe into a Muslim continent.
A Muslim minority in Europe is neither a new thing, nor will it have any impact on our culture or economy.
very touching video. hope assan continues to live a fulfilling life in camini with cosmano.
Dear Anti-Refugee people.... Why all the butthurt?
These people have been good for the development of this village, just because you don't like the fact, doesn't make that fact is untrue. Just saying.
You're acting as bad as they are.
Atleast I know the definition of propaganda.
What you sneakily call butthurt, educated people call it a plain and honest history lesson.
This brought tears to my eyes
Is it because you imagined that boy drilling your back door with his long stick? 🤣
“The Italian Village Was Dying...”
That’s f*cked up.
“Until the Refugees Came.”
That’s even more f*cked up!
JackIsGold u Are f*cked up
Very Heartwarming.
How so.
yea, and on the other side the opposite is true. lol
I predict serious religious bloody tensions like the ones that happened in Lebanon and destroyed that beautiful successful country.
Nove Seth 8 dl
I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I am so happy for Assan. He has found a family in a foreign country, and he is part of the community. Sadly, most of us don't live like that anymore. The refugees who come to live in big cities have it much harder.
Love this story ❤ Shame about the mean comments
Its not an Italian village anymore. RIP the West.
It's in the south, it was never one in the first place
+Andrei Skobtsov Kek
andrei I'm italian as well and your ignorance "amazes" me. For the record, we live in 2016, these insults can't be tolerated.
Jen Nifer wow were from? I doubt you are from any reasonable place since blocking freedom of speach is normal to you. Either that or you are an ex-communist, you probably suport the partisans by the way, am I right?
Jen Nifer Yes, indigenous genetically Europeans going Extinct like the dinosaur, and we're being replaced by Third Worlders in our own Homeland. Are we suppose to be Happy?
What a beautiful example of love and peace and human beings helping each other. If only the rest of the world could follow this wonderful way of living with our human family; no walls, no divisions, just love and respect for our uniqueness! God bless them always and may we follow their example!
The Blacks are killing off the whites in South Africa, and you are silent.
As italian, I can only be extremely happy and proud of them. I'm glad to see them having a second chance in life! Every human being deserve a chance to improve their life condition.
Italy population is shrinking
There no other Choice but to let in lots of Indians and other immigrant into Italy so let do this
And this is coming from a Italian:)
@@shhss3828 il problema non è come voglio farvi credere quello della bassa natalità..in portogallo ad oggi sono migrati oltre 3000 giovani, altri in Polonia, Romania, ancora molti in Uk, ireland, Germania etc...perché non c'è lavoro qualificato per tutti..
Italy surely has great heart ❤.
I mean these are homes that are run down and being restored, and villages being revived. If you really dont want the immigrants to go there, then why arent Italians encouraged to back to their villages?
but the econo y is only being revived through government housing prgrams for migrants, with means extorted from the itlian tax payer.
kuryamtl what makes you think we havent. Not only its all lies. The village is fine.
Tiger Lilly you get that the housing stock will be a state asset right? You get that a boosted economy leads to other structured growth such as in agriculture and tourism right? Its good just to help people in terrible need, but the results are not all painful they can be beneficial!
Hey, National Geographic, bring them to your house, then I will write an article about how great it is that you had an empty bedroom and that it was dying out!
it's insane what's happening in Europe. Why they want to accept everybody, what is the main reason ? This will change completely our culture! I Hope people will realize soon and change the leaders . All the best from Hungary!
women were walking around unraped until the refugees came.
Blame the women, not the rapist. Nice ideology idiot.
Gunni19 00 That is how western women like to dress. Why should the locals change their mode of dress for some disgusting aliens?
Shouldn't a woman be able to dress however she likes? Don't get me wrong, i find slut clothing distasteful, but it's no excuse for any sexual assault.
If a man feels a urge to sexually assault a woman only because of her clothes, it means he already has some very serious issues, and he's incompatible with society.
Gunni19 00 I'm not the hypocrite here... You called someone a bigot while expressing your own sexist bigotry. I would have expected your kind of thinking more than half a century ago, at least in most Western nations.
so lidya are you pro rapfugee or not?
Once their tenth mosque goes up, don't expect NatGeo to go back there for a follow up story.
And when they tell women to cover up!
This isn’t going to end well for the Italian natives.
so far so great
@@realjo733 Lying stooge
This video and story are a breath of fresh air. I'm so tired of the hate and horrible language used to describe people fleeing Africa and the Middle East. It was so nice to see someone welcomed for a change! Thank you!
Most immigrants in Europe are NOT from the Middle East.
Italy for Italians!
Why is so much hate in the comments? This makes me very sad. Why can´t people be nice?
i know right 😶
Because life isn't nice
It is truly sad that no one can see the positive message that this video is trying to send. I think it is amazing that the refugees did such a beautiful thing for that village.
Glenn Jacobs And I think it's horrible what others of their kind did to thousands of rape victims in sweden alone
What "kind"? You cannnot classify people in "kinds". Every Person is responsable for their behavior themself. Being muslim doesn´t make you a rapist. Being a german doesn´t make you a facist.
Well, the way the village was.... It's really dead now, dead and gone. Just 'cause there are folks there it's not been resurrected - it's been erased.
wow sudden hate because it mentions "refugee", "Africa", "muslim".. bless you who still have kindness
Your just one yourself
Dot Dot you are one yourself?! So you just look at someone's name and that's it?! WoW. You are one big fool.
+Inge Peeters
And I look at your name and I think you're european, what's your point?
you got it, we dont want you here, go to Arabia
syarifah sadiyah why is it the responsibility of European countries to take in these people instead of where these migrants came from . Countries like the middle east and africa should be ashamed that the so called infidels are taking care of their peasants.
why do you only show the refugees who assimilate Nat Geo ? why wont you show us the majority?!!
Most people don't have issues with their color of the skin or where they came from. The issue is that they most often have very different values since they were brought up in a different culture and that's the problem that cannot be solved. This is a lovely story, but non the less, It is just that, a story, not a reality in most cases. Also, It smells like propaganda to me.
Your foolishness is a propaganda
Yes, it was too good to be true and too much emphasis was placed on the closeness of their relationship. And then we get to the point of "My God is not your God and my God is the right God." What does it matter the manner of praying? If we go to church or the synagogue or the mosque or into nature, as long as we pray to God it is valid and shows our universal love but here again there was a "Stop, here is where we diverge." Definitely propaganda.
What are your values?
Nite Rocks
Don't be foolish. Do you really think that humans are so simple? The issue is not skin deep, It goes all the way to the bone. What is the point of denying the cultural difference?
Gerry Tenney
I assume, same as yours. Western.
As soon as he mentioned he is a Muslim ppl gonna start hating and being ignorant just because of that grow up for god sake half of y’all taking about Italian culture know nothing about Italian culture. Stop being Islamphobic
we could dear if those fears were irrational y'all
Thank God, humanity is still alive. The Goodness inside of us will always prevail.
Simply beautiful. Thank you God for this wonderful moment.
How come the empty land in Africa is not called a dying village?
Thank you so much for sharing this story! What a beautiful thing to see.
Scary stuff the world is changing faster then ever before
Heartwarming💛
What a fantastic video. Thank you for uploading.
More stories like this need to be told.
So now we basically have a town in Italy that is comprised of non Italian people.
This renews my faith in humanity.
Wait until the first mosque arises
You really sound beyond stupid.
You really ARE beyond stupid
You believe in anything are are gullible.
Mary Rodger and I bet that the comments section have destroyed your faith in humanity
I’m happy for the people in this particular story but it doesn’t mean I would trust having too many of them in my country.
This Italian village was dying ... until the ‘magic money tree’ government welfare arrived
STAND AND FIGHT !!! PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER PROTECT YOUR WIFES PROTECT YOUR PARENTS PROTECT YOU FAMILY PROTECT YOUR HOMELAND !!! PEOPLES WHO DESERVE TO BE HELPED WONT ACT LIKE THIS , WAKE UP, YOU ARE HELPING THE WRONG ONES !!
At least these immigrants speak Italian and try to integrate, this is the immigrants we want but instead we get the wrong Somalis who just isolate themselves
This is really beautiful. Happy to see that there are at least some people who are loving and welcoming
the village was dying, now the country will ...
lmaoo
Shut up they are saving the village, what’s your problem
@@aidenmidgley5145 shut your f*king mouth you pig
@@Imran-yr6qh bruh
The village was crumbling because all the Italian inhabitants have been forced to emigrate due to a lack of jobs, economic opportunities and education. So while those things are not available to the Italians,suddenly they are available to foreigners.
This town will soon to be renamed "Camini-stan"
The villagers began abandoning it
few years ago I would trust content from channel like this
saw way too many lies collapsing about how great immigrants are
Beautiful village!
A beautiful story about humanity.
A year later and they're eating their words
What a beautiful story.
Humanity 💜
Careful, planned immigration like this is ideal. Canada and other nations are doing it, too. I'm sure the US has small towns with virtually nobody left that we could bring Syrian families to.
its more about Love. Thanks Italy
The camera work was superb! And thank you for the story, Assan's Italian is good!
beautiful, the most pure form of a human ecosystem
salute to you Assan & all respect & kindness for the Cosmano family for giving us all a valuable lesson in coexistence.
I'm sure the natives are thrilled. 😬
Although unique, this was a beautiful story of true human connection and hope.
So you'll post a video of the rare instances that massive refugee flows turn out decent but wont post a video of the chaos in Calais or the rapes at nearly every social gathering in Germany
556forlunch : You clueless fool. Where do you have your info from? Fox news? U.S.A. is a much more dangerous place seems like. You have more casualties at your schools then we have in our whole country even with refugees.
556forlunch i live in Germany and there are no mass-rapes 😂😂
CorinnaxSophia : Thank you. Shootings at High Schools are also rather seldom.
Yes, this is just propaganda. They single out one individual of good character who has integrated well into the community. Also, it doesn't sound like they have had a huge influx of migrants, so the few that have come are more pressured to integrate and adapt to the culture. Elsewhere, though these economic migrants are coming at such a rate as to displace the native population. They don't have an incentive to integrate, and instead force their own backwards culture onto the host country. This video, while heartwarming, is very deceptive. I found it interesting that they didn't show us any of the other 80+ migrants in the town. How are they getting along? Has the crime rate increased, etc? Do they speak Italian and dress as westerners as Assan has done? These questions are conveniently glossed over.
HeartlandRanchTV what you just watched is propaganda
So the original villagers had to leave because of no money and jobs. Now they pay for the African people to come and live in the houses that the Italian villagers couldn't afford. I bet the people that had to leave feel really good about that.
People hating on this are just hating because their lives didn't enable them to have an ability that these people do to take a stranger and make him a member of their family. That man's son and daughter have another brother and he another son, and that speaks for itself. All that you haters have is an ability to turn a stranger into an enemy, and not enough mental calm or intelligence to do otherwise.
go google German-volunteer-honour-killing. (direct links get seen as spam) Sorry to break this to you, but there are some people who are raised to see kindness as weakness.
So this guy was the first person in history who got killed trying to help someone? And thus no one ever should try to help anyone because of that?
go google 'doctors without borders'
The people of Europe have absolutely no obligation or moral right to hand over to invaders the 'better life' which took generations of their own forefathers slaving away to create for them. It is a legacy for future generations of our own people. The other people have their own countries, to build up and make a go of, if they fail it is neither our fault nor our responsibility. After the Second World War Germany rebuilt itself to a first world nation in only twenty years, the same with Japan, both these nations were industrially devasted, but they bounced back thanks to the will, intellectual superiority and hard work of their people. The same goes for the UK, France, Italy, South Korea, etc. These nations are the sum total of the people that created them, and their countries reflect the personality and tenacity of those people. If you fill up Germany with North Africans or Bangladeshis, it will fall to their native level of economic output, trustworthiness, lack of enlightenment values, etc. Wake up, you have no right to give away the legacy left for future generation by our ancestors, just because of some historically fleeting disorder called pathological altruism. Thanks.
dleetr Some of us believe helping the weak and ones in need is what makes us human and thus stronger. And also that we are all one species.
I see a boy who doesn't have to suffer anymore and can grow as a person as he has a new family that loves him and sees him as another human.
You obviously don't believe that and see some invading force backed up by your "knowledge" of history and how them african lot deserve it based on it.
Good luck with that rethoric bro, really
My rhetoric is doing great because it's demonstratively true, people are waking up on mass that everything that they took for granted will be lost. You can't base a civilisation on muh feelz, That "boy" as you inaccurately describe him for emotional impact and nothing else would be nothing of the sort as it has actually been conclusively found that most of these self described refugee children are in fact adults. Recent danish study for example www.thelocal.dk/20150622/refugee-children-in-denmark-found-to-be-adults .. The vast bulk of the remainder that don't use this ruse are military age males, not women or children. You cannot deny that we are letting in an army into our borders. Never before in history has anything so nuts been allowed. That the host population would let in and pay for it's replacement population. Well actually i'm wrong, this is what islam does, but the islamic conquests of the past involved war, then subjugation of the conquered people through oppressive taxation to pay for the preferential breeding and support of the invading muslim. So we are repeating an historical pattern except in our case we are letting it happen without firing a shot in self defense. This state of affairs will not stand in the long term and your favoured boy will likely not stand idly by as europeans start expressing their long repressed anger over this population replacement regime, this genocide of the actually quite diverse european peoples and cultures with long histories and deep roots in the land they inhabit. Finally because i must address this, to declare that somehow wanting to keep your own land for yourself is somehow less moral than giving away your children's future to invading hoards, is nothing less than the purest evil. These other nations would never let us do the same to them, it's only white nations where this game of replacement is being played, only white nations. We are being genocided by people with less morals than the people that freely brought civilisation to the world, ended slavery and whom without the technology of, most of these third world people would not be alive. So here these poeple come, ostensibly to take food out of the mouths of our children, to stop our children from even being born because of the vast swathes of europeans youth that cannot find employment and so have decided to put off pairing off, perhaps forever. Then they comit crime and violence at rates never before seen in europe, burning down a migrant centre because they can't get enough nutella for example www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3960366/Migrants-burned-refugee-centre-causing-10-million-damage-wasn-t-Nutella-Gummibears-chocolate-German-Red-Cross-worker-reveals.html having a rape game that is so entrenched in their culture that it has a name 'Taharrush'
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3395390/The-Arabic-gang-rape-Taharrush-phenomenon-sees-women-surrounded-groups-men-crowds-sexually-assaulted-spread-Europe.html.. the abuses are minute by minute with these people, they are not the best of the countries that they came from, they are the mentally unstable dregs that could not get on in their own lands and want to bludge in ours and yet you desire to unleash these maniacs upon the people of europe and then seek to claim some moral superiority for it. Give me a break already. Wake up.
A rare happy story among so many that are not.
This is a beautiful story so refreshing and a fine example
Cheryl Schumaker and totally staged.
They sure groomed these comments huh?
Bro I'm a conservative and many Italians too have come to the point that
Without mass migration to the SOUTH Italy is fked up
High pension
Less children
Debt
It was dying. Now it's dead.
Diaboyos..... who cares
it's dead to you. The people of Camini seem alright.
Awesome👍
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring short documentary. It's good to see that there are genuinely kind and compassionate people helping others, especially refugees.
what a joke
The only joke I see here is you.
come to Italy and you will see the real story
Mike Bova As if I would set foot in that dump.
You must be talking about the areas that are full of these migrants
Usually the foreign occupation of ghost towns and ruins isn't considered rebirth.
Great to see a happy story
Not so great to see you're a gullible fool.
Beautiful human being thnx for helping pple in need
What a way to put a positive spin on the downfall of Europe, or whatever it will be called in Arabic....................
eurabistan or eurabia
Juruba
SlipKnotRicky -- Africans aren't Arabs though !!!
Do these people look like Middle Eastern Arabs to you?. These are Black Africans NOT Arabs. Arabs are Caucasians from Western Asia NOT Africa. Just because Arabs conquered East Africa does not mean Black Africans are "Arabs" just like Black Africans in South Africa are not "Europeans". And most immigrants in Italy and Europe are actually Black Africans, South Asians(Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi), East Asians, and North African Berbers. Middle Eastern people are very rare in Europe. And just because someone's religion is Muslim(Islam) does NOT mean they are Arab. Anyone can be a Muslim like anyone can be a Christian.
