Uncertain future for Afghan child who saw his father drown

Omid Jafari's eyes are haunted. In his 10 years he has seen horrors most people hope not to see in a lifetime.

Just over a week ago, Omid watched as his father, uncle and cousin silently drowned with more than 100 other asylum seekers, while help was still 24 hours away.

Children deported to Kabul will face 'horrible risks'

The UK plans to deport migrant children back to Afghanistan even if it cannot find their families – and it is not the only European country to make the proposal, writes Human Rights Watch campaigner

Picture your 16-year-old son, brother, cousin or friend. Picture him without his parents in a strange country, where he is picked up by uniformed officials and put on a plane alone. Picture him dropped off in a strife-ridden city, like Kabul or Baghdad, and left to fend for himself. Picture having no idea where he will end up.

Behind the security bars of a spartan, white-tiled room, 25 youths are arranging bedrolls on the floor. The workers on the Salvation Army nightshift, who watch over these lone foreign teenagers in a shelter in a gritty corner of Paris, are distributing sheets and sleeping bags; there are a couple of boys from Mali and a contingent of Bangladeshis; the rest have travelled overland, by every conceivable method, fromAfghanistan.

MUSSA KHAN: TUTTA LA STORIA

In questo post è pubblicata l'intera storia, già pubblicata a puntate, di Mussa Khan.


Mussa Khan è un muhajır, un rifugiato in cerca di un posto sicuro dove vivere. La sua storia è quella dei tanti afghani che ogni anno, dopo aver lasciato la famiglia, percorrono migliaia di chilometri per fare domanda di asilo in Europa.

Per realizzare questo reportage, pubblicato a puntate, l’autore ha viaggiato per due mesi sulle rotte dei migranti attraverso Turchia, Grecia e Italia; ha visitato venti diverse associazioni; ha intervistato poliziotti, camionisti, equipaggi di navi; ha incontraro trafficanti, falsari, faccendieri e intermediari. Ma soprattutto ha condiviso con i muhajirin la lunga strada lastricata di sogni, aspettative, delusioni e notti insonni che porta in Europa.

Questa è anche la storia.
