Hardi & Ibra, the Gambians who want to be Italian

Hardi and Ibra are two cousins from the Gambia who’ve been granted a two-year residency permit in Bologna. They’ve made a rap song about integrating into Italian society, called ‘Benkelema’ meaning ‘peace’. Bologna --along with Turin -- has rejected a decree imposing more regulations on migrants in Italy. As the country’s parliament is due to debate the new measure on Monday, the young Gambians have been explaining why they want to make Bologna their new home.
