An Eritrean man tells CNN the last time he saw his father was 20 years ago -- the night his mother was killed trying to stop men who came to take him away.

A young man at the camp says the commander of his military unit accused him of insubordination and viciously kicked him in the knee, disabling him for life.

Henol Yamanay says he was friends with one of the hundreds of migrants who lost their lives this week when their boat capsized in the Mediterranean.

These Eritrean women live at the Ali Addeh refugee camp, a holding point for those fleeing into Djibouti.

For the camp's 10,000 residents, this is supposed to be just the first stop on their journey to resettlement through the United Nations. But many have waited for years.
