Six-foot tall Eritrean man found inside a suitcase trying to cross Italy-Switzerland border

Swiss border guards were shocked to discover a lanky Eritrean migrant trying to sneak into the country from Italy packed inside a suitcase this week.

And a remarkable video of the 6ft migrant emerging from the suitcase has caused a sensation, attracting almost 10,000 views on YouTube.

The 21-year-old migrant was reportedly travelling with a friend on the Swiss-bound train from Milan’s Central station when his hiding place was uncovered on Monday evening.

The man, who was travelling without legal documents, was found when guards boarded the train to check passengers’ documents in Chiasso, a town just over the Swiss border in the southern canton of Ticino.

The guards’ suspicions were aroused by the strange shape and heavy weight of the suitcase, which they immediately removed from the train and placed on the station platform.

“It was not hard to know there was a person inside, given the weight and the movement of it,” Mirko Ricci, a spokesman for the border guards, told Swiss state TV channel RSI.

After the suitcase was placed on the platform, police watched in shock as a human hand came out of the case followed by the migrant’s head.

Then the Eritrean, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, uncurled his legs and emerged from his luggage like a seasoned contortionist.

He was immediately sent back to Italy with his travelling companion.

The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, estimates more than 70,000 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea this year – 13 per cent of the total number of arrivals came from Eritrea.

On Tuesday alone the Italian Coast Guard said a total of 4,500 migrants were rescued in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily in 30 operations.

    This is what it came down to,How low can we go.It seems like a breech delivery from his mother’s womb with the hands appearing first from the birth canal and the policeman assisting delivery.10,000 views on You Tube,this how HGDEF introduces the nation they brag about to the world- this is how we roll!The tyrant will keep on humiliating us as long as we let him.N’akuteke nbel!

    I am very sympathetic to this young man. He has faced the worst military and police commanders and prison guards in Eritrea, plus the savage Arabs in Sudan and Libya and the risk of beheading by the savage dogs of the Islamic State ISISI, the deep sea on his way to freedom to the christian and democratic western Europe.
    This is the true image and state in Eritrea now. Is Eritrea better after it created a “new system” in Africa called Slavery?
    Why are Eritreans including women and children running away from Eritrea?
    The ignorant Ghedli leaders used to brag “Ethiopia is Feudal and backward” and then after sixty years turmoil and destruction, they created a brand new system in Africa called slavery that includes hating your own identity, selling your own to Arab slavery and burning your own languages.

    I don’t want you to take my comment above the wrong way,it shows my utter disgust to the regime in Asmara.This kids are not aliens,they were brought up in the belly of the tyranny that is ruling our land,a generation in despair without hope,no future,no space to dream,no individual liberty even to start the basic family unit and being able to support it,This is the hallmark of HGDEF,this is what HGDEF breeds,it manufactures a confused young mind unable to discern right from wrong,limit its knowledge within the confines for survival and feed it with the poisonous pill of narrow nationalism and to protect it at any cost even if you have to kill your loved one.The Eritrean family is disintegrating in front of our eyes and the mentally unequipped children that escaped the nest are taking desperate measures to survive.Lord have mercy on us.You taught us a lesson your way,now more that ever help us find a resolution to this infernal mayhem your way.Amen! .

    The sinking of a poor nation – state Eritrea itself. After all, the poor man did so in the very process of jumping off the sinking ship called “Eritrea”. You can’t blame him if he is running away from his so-called “liberators” the savage evil gedli tegadelti. The evil gedli actually unliberated and undeveloped the land. Haile selassie built schools; all the leaders of the evil gedli and PFDJ were educated in schools built by the so-called occupiers. The roads that connected major Eritrea cities were built by the occupiers. Evil gedli toyed with the rich Eritrean habesha culture, erased identities, created demi gods, promoted prostitution (to please their slave masters), built more bars and prisoners than schools. The destruction of higher education is not by accident, it is by design. All the actions that are manifesting in Eritrea didn’t happen by accident, all was planned and mastered from evil gedli’s meida Eritrea.
    For the new and young generation of Eritrea it is simply the death of their collective survival instinct as a people.

      Gedli also kicked your behind, just a reminder.

    Massaw, and Haile, The Great leader of TPLF the late Meles in 1991 told Ethiopian entities that were opposing Eritrean independence “Eritreans are saying we are not Ethiopians so no one can force them to be Ethiopians because belonging to any country is a matter of Satisfaction”
    Now if you Massawa and Haile are satisfied to be Ethiopians, no one will stop you good luck but you don’t have any right to insult our dignity and pride, we are proud Eritreans.

    • Tsige July 12, 2016

      Lemlem, why are you putting words into the mouths of Massawa and Haile? I can’t see anything that implies that they want to join Ethiopia or insulted as you put it “our dignity and pride” in their fair comments and views. How did they insult Eritreans by just expressing their personal views?
      Could we also say and assume that Lemlem or more like BoWazan, Khalid, Khaled, ertra n Arebawyan) if you are not satisfied to be an Arab, no one will stop you good luck but don’t insult our intelligence by acting and posing as an Eritrean when you are moslem Arab wanting poor Eritrea to be an Islamic and Arab state. This is what you’ve been fighting and still fighting to achieve.
      With your kind of backward and arrogant opportunists there is no guarantee that after HGDEFs are gone there would be the same old corrupted and worse dictators in Eritrea as long as the democracy and free speeches is not upheld and respected from now.

    Massawa, people like are the one torturing the young people. you idiot.double face Agame.

    • Sirak July 11, 2016

      Esu Hatela
      The very kind Agame people of Tigray – Ethiopia are giving free education and protection to our Eritrean people . If you are Eritrean with a normal functioning brain would know this fact but you are probably ugly ignorant Gorilla from Uganda so you are forgiven for being just a dumb animal..

  • Esu July 11, 2016

    Massawa, ANta derbay, you think the western countries are Christian countries ? did they say that ? or you were dreaming ? Atse yohannes does not live on the west you stinky, Tokan Hegdef.

  • Teqera July 12, 2016

    Well said Masawa, you hit the right nerve and they are calling you “Agame”, I wonder what it meant these days. At least, the Agames were not sold as slaves and Abids at home and to the Arabs nor did they burn their own languages to borrow a fake identity. Eritrea is so civilized, according to the UN Rights report, it is living in “Slavery” in year 2016.
    “The ignorant Ghedli leaders used to brag “Ethiopia is Feudal and backward” and then after sixty years of turmoil and destruction, they created a brand new system in Africa called Slavery that includes hating your own identity, selling your own to Arab slavery and burning your own languages.”
