Of Beetles & Angels quote Response

"Beware of fishermen. Where's the water, you ask? There is no water. They fish for strangers, vagabonds, foreigners, refugees" (mawi asgedom) p.2

Reaction: I found this quote very interesting because it came from a welcome sign when mawi's family arrived on the border of Sudan, this quote shows that you must be aware of the strangers and not be kidnapped or "fished" because they will treat you as if you were a dog.
I thought it was very unique because its written in a way that i have never seen before. the style of this writing really shows disparity of the reason why people head to sudan. Its good because i can feel the hopelessness of the voice and how it gives warning.
