Welcome to a signment from the BBC World Service.
It's late at the Gambias International Airport.
Most here are waiting for the arrival of tourists from Europe who flock to this tiny nation in West Africa for its beautiful beaches and winter sun.
But just after 2 o'clock in the morning, a special group of arrivals appear, walking single file in silence out of the terminal.
They're dozens of Gambian migrants who were trying to reach Europe without visas, but whose journey came to an end in Tunisia before they could cross the Mediterranean and have now been returned home.
They are all young men.
There's 47 of them.
They're not carrying much.
There's perhaps just a small hold.
All that seems to be all they have left from a journey that probably cost a lot and for which they risk their lives.
They are actually being handed a small white cloth bag.
I think it contains blankets and some essential items they've been giving them by a team from the United Nations.
Hello, sir, and tell us your name.
My name is Lahadi Fai.
I am 20 years old.
