Nicosia, Cyprus. August 2020. “N”, a migrant from Congo, poses for a portrait in front of one of the UN-Buffer zone walls separating the Republic of Cyprus and the TRNC. The city of Nicosia is the last divided city in Europe, split roughly in the middle by the UN patrolled Buffer Zone. N left Congo in search of better opportunities and the possibility to study in Europe. After arriving in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a "de-facto" state solely recognized by Turkey, he realized he had been duped by unscrupulous agents in Africa and had no more money to pay for his fees and continue his education. He used whatever money had left to pay coyotes to take him across the border to Cyprus. He spent 4 months in the Pournara Emergency Reception Centre in squalid conditions. He is now waiting for his UNCHR interview in the hopes of being able to work freely and be resettled somewhere else.
