She helps them from her home in Stockholm, Sweden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-authors\">STOCKHOLM\u2014One day in 2010, the woman with the red fingernails received the first call. She was standing in her kitchen when her white cellphone rang. The display showed \u201c00888\u201d \u2014 the first five digits of an unknown number.<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-story float-clear\">\n<div class=\"article-story-body\">\n<div class=\"body parsys\">\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>When the woman answered, she was assaulted by shrieks. Four hundred and twenty-five Eritreans were drifting in the Mediterranean. The ship was leaking; water was creeping up the walls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>One of the passengers had the telephone number of Meron Estefanos and entered the 13 digits into a satellite cellphone, the one that people smugglers give refugees for emergencies. Estefanos\u2019 telephone began to ring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>It was a nightmare, she recalls. \u201cThis panic, the people screaming into the receiver: \u2018We\u2019re dying, our life is in your hands. Do something!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Today, the 40-year old woman with the red fingernails is sitting on a plastic chair in her kitchen, the same place she received the call five years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cAt that time I hardly knew how to handle the situation. First I called the Italian authorities. They told me: \u2018Call Malta!\u2019 I called up Malta. They told me: \u2018Call Italy!\u2019\u201d Seven hours passed until the 425 people knew they would survive, she recounts. The Italian Coast Guard rescued them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>For Estefanos, it was the beginning of a long acquaintance with the ominous numerical sequence 00888, which indicates a call from a satellite mobile on the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"fsk_splitbox_27\" class=\"sb-opened\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Since the incident in 2010, which was well-publicized in the Eritrean community, many of those who flee Eritrea make sure to carry with them one thing in particular: the 13-digit telephone number of Meron Estefanos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Estefanos left Eritrea as a child, not as a refugee, but on a comfortable plane ride to Stockholm, where her father had found work. That was 28 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>However, torture, repression and poverty in her homeland produce <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/world\/2015\/06\/26\/state-of-fear-migrants-flee-eritrean-repression.html\">an endless stream of refugees<\/a>. The shrill echo of it resounds daily through her mobile phone in faraway Stockholm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>This year alone, she says, she has already received more than 50 calls from boats in the Mediterranean. In so doing, she has likely saved the lives of more than 16,000 Eritreans \u2014 a fact Estefanos doesn\u2019t mention in the conversation. She is not interested in such calculations, she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cMeron, is it you? Help us, we\u2019re drifting on the sea, the ship\u2019s engine broke down!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cGo to the compass right away and pass on the co-ordinates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t read the compass!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cDescribe to me which numbers you see on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Meron Estefanos presses the stop button. It is one of many recordings of calls from the Mediterranean stored on her white cellphone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>The phone is lying on the table in her small kitchen. Every few minutes it vibrates: Al Jazeera from Qatar. A journalist from America. Then an Eritrean pastor from Switzerland. \u201cSorry, I have to take that call, it is because of IS,\u201d Estefanos excuses herself and disappears to her balcony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p><b>\u2018You stupid, stupid telephone\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Recently, the terrorist militia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/topic.islamic_state.html\">Islamic State<\/a> kidnapped 87 Eritreans in Libya. Fourteen succeeded in freeing themselves. With the cellphone pressed to her ear, Estefanos is discussing with the pastor how they can bring the 14 refugees to safety. \u201cWhat,\u201d she asks when she returns to the kitchen, \u201cwould probably be happening in Western TV stations if the IS kidnapped 87 Swedes?\u201d The question still hangs unanswered when her phone rings again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cYou stupid, stupid telephone,\u201d her six-year-old son recently hissed as it rang once again. He is right, admits the single mother (she also has a 14-year-old son). Her commitment to the refugees is hard on the family. \u201cBut, if I can save so many lives with only one call?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Estefanos\u2019s day job is with Radio Erena, a Paris-based station. Her kitchen in Stockholm serves as the studio: There she sits every Thursday at midday with a headset and a notebook for the program \u201cVoices of Eritrean Refugees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>While Estefanos speaks into the microphone, 5,000 kilometres away thousands of people listen to their radios in Eritrea. They do it secretly, because the Eritrean regime is trying to prohibit Radio Erena broadcasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Eritrea \u2014 approximately half the size of the United Kingdom \u2014 is often dubbed \u201cthe North Korea of Africa.\u201d The secretive country on the Horn of Africa, which gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1993, is ruled by President Isaias Afwerki with \u201cruthless repression\u201d and human rights violations \u201con a scope and scale seldom witnessed elsewhere,\u201d as the UN concluded in its current report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>About 5,000 Eritreans are fleeing every month, despite knowing they can be shot to death on the border by their own army for treason. If they make it to neighbouring Sudan and further on to Libya, the next round of Russian roulette awaits them: the journey across the Mediterranean to Europe. And here the circle closes with Estefanos and her white cellphone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>But sometimes the circle closes earlier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p><b>Rise of the kidnappers<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Around four years ago, news broke in the Western media that human smugglers were kidnapping people \u2014 mainly Eritreans \u2014 on their way to Europe, holding them in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/world\/2012\/02\/17\/african_migrants_headed_to_israel_tell_of_torture_in_sinai_desert_by_smugglers.html\">camps in the Sinai Desert<\/a> in Egypt. The kidnappers were torturing the refugees to extort ransom money from their relatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>Estefanos negotiates with the people smugglers on the telephone, helps organize ransom money and consoles desperate relatives. Her power to convince on the telephone is her weapon. Often, Estefanos says, the horror stories take her breath way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cIn the torture camps in Sinai,\u201d she explains, \u201cthe people smugglers used a particularly cruel technique. First they squeezed out the telephone number of the refugees\u2019 families. Then they called them up to demand the ransom money. The deceitful thing about it: While they were on the phone, they were torturing the refugees so that their screams could be heard by their relatives on the other end of the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>She vows to haul to court every human trafficker who makes money this way. She collects evidence, records telephone calls and keeps lists of the ransom sums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text combinedtext parbase section\">\n<p>\u201cIf you kill a cat in Sweden, you end up in prison. Meanwhile I hear stories of refugees who are being tortured every hour. And the whole world is just watching.\u201d This sentence was uttered by Estefanos in an award-wining 2013 Israeli documentary about the torture camps in Sinai. How many people smugglers has she brought to court since then?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stockholm-based Meron Estefanos fields calls on her cellphone from Eritrean refugees in danger of drowning in the Mediterranean.
