Includes bibliographical references."Reporter Sally Hayden was at home in London when she received a message on Facebook from an Eritrean refugee: "Hi sister Sally, we need your help ... " The sender had been held in a Libyan detention center for months, locked in with hundreds of others. But now, the surrounding city was crumbling as warring factions battled around them. They were stuck, defenseless, and with only one hope: contacting the journalist they knew would tell their true story. With that begins Hayden's staggering account of the migrant crisis across North Africa. Built on years of reporting and unprecedented contact with dozens of people inside Libyan detention centers, Hayden details their personal stories of despair, perseverance, horrific torture, and blind faith. My Fourth Time, We Drowned details the prolonged and sustained international failure that esulted in this massive humanitarian crisis, shining a light on the failure, corruption, and cynicism of organizations specifically created to prevent such tragedies. But most importantly, this book is a testament to the resilience of its subjects: how refugees and migrants stay whole and human-despite a system that wants them to be silent and disappear"--
