Sombok is an idea, and ideas never die. This motto, cherished by young Sudanese and resonant on social media, illuminates the stories and significance of the undocumented journeys toward Europe. It suggests that, despite the tragic losses along the routes and at sea, the quest for refuge will endure, driven by undying aspirations and steadfast motivations. No matter the huge investments in sealing borders and the countless lives lost as a consequence, the unyielding spirit of those seeking freedom will always find new paths to resist, overcome and traverse. Rather than trying to disinter universal insights or conclusions, the present research has experimented with and supported mobility practices of a specific network, the Sudanese. The knowledge acquired was brought back to the field and shared with actors involved in the fight for freedom of movement. It is precisely in the continuous investigation and application to the social reality at play that such knowledge remains accurate and meaningful. In the complicity cultivated with the people with whom one shares moments of the journeys, the possibility of building collective knowledge arises, and decolonial tools are forged. Ultimately, it is in the ability to create intimate and transnational bonds that escape the extractivism of the neo-colonial capitalist system and the necropolitics implemented by states that resistances and new alliances become possible.
