Lucie ZOUYA MIMBANG - Researcher at the University of Strasbourg (France) : A qualitative analysis is needed to complete the statistical data. Sub- Saharan African migrants have been transiting to Europe through complex pathways and this for many years. As a professional researcher in economic and social History having worked at the Cameroonian Ministry of Research and Innovation from 1985 to 2012, I have long practiced field surveys. So, I can offer: -My ability to carry out a research program and to publish the results. -My knowledge on problems of migrations inside Africa in the past and nowadays: my inquiries on wars, transfontier problems and conflict resolution can be found in a report at the Cameroonian Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation. -My own experience as a traveler from Africa to Europe: since 1994, I have been travelling from Africa to Europe for research matters. I know the multiple administrative formalities which are necessary to obtain a residence permit. -Additionally, the confidence of the interviewed person is important. As a sub-Saharan African woman, I am in the best position to interview African migrants and to retrace their itineraries in detail   Some of my publications are relevant for this topic : 1986 : Les mythes d’origine et les mouvements migratoires des populations de l’Est-Cameroun.
