African Migrants Revive Ancient Trade in Spain
A government program in Spain is training African migrants as shepherds to tackle rural depopulation and job shortages.
Osam Abdulmumen, a 25-year-old migrant from Sudan, is among those learning the trade. He herds sheep and goats in Castile-La Mancha, a region known for its Manchego cheese.
The bells and bleats faded as Osam Abdulmumen, a migrant from Sudan, herded sheep back from pasture, the sun setting over a centuries-old farm in Spain’s arid heartland.
Abdulmumen has been looking over a flock of 400 animals for months in Los Cortijos, a village of 850 people in the plains of Castile-La Mancha, the region in central Spain made famous by the 17th-century classic “Don Quixote.
