On June 2 2018 Soumaila Sacko, a migrant agricultural worker from Mali, was brutally murdered in San Calogero in Italy. He was shot in the head while gathering aluminium to rebuild the shantytown on the outskirts of San Ferdinando, where over four thousand seasonal workers live during harvest season, in overpopulated shack and tents, amidst garbage, plastic and rubber. Sacko was a member of the USB (Unione Sindicale di Base), a trade union that fights to improve the atrocious working conditions of the farm laborers that are deployed in the citrus fields in the plains of Gioa Tauro, in Calabria.
