  • Soraya Nashbandi (57) is from Kabul city of Afghanistan. She is travelling together with her two sons and her younger daughter. Her husband was killed 10 years ago but they never found out how. There used to be many explosions in Kabul in those days. Her oldest son (24) is a computer engineer and had a computer shop with 24 servers. Her youngest son (22) was studying to become a veterinarian. The family also had two cloths shops. The older brother decided to leave everything behind and take the family out of the country 9 months ago, when a powerful man in his 50s started pressuring the family to give him their older daughter (26) to become his 5th wife. The girl was engaged to an Afghan man who had immigrated to Norway and the family was trying to avoid the pressure of the older man. That man then threatened to take the younger daughter (17). They were afraid of what will happen to the daughters, as that man was influential and also had his own army. When they decided to leave, the hide for 4 days at an aunty’s house until they could make passports with fake names, then they boarded a flight to Tehran in Iran where they met with a smuggler who helped them go to Turkey in 12 days where they had to walk through the border. The went to Sivas city and there the daughter’s fiancee came to meet them, they got married and he waited for 50 days till she could get her visa to Norway before they left together. While in Turkey, Soraya started having health problems and at a hospital they found that she had blood cancer. She went through treatment and that was the reason they stayed in Turkey for so long. While in Turkey, they heard that the powerful man who wanted to marry her daughter was actually a trader, providing women to wealthy men. When the treatment finished and they only had to do regular check-ups, they decided to continue their trip. They went to Istanbul to meet the smugglers who could bring them to Greece and from there they where brought  to Izmir. They tri

  • Tarik Aljadoue (34) and his wife Samar Jamal (27) at the space that NGO Aggalia has organised as a temporary stop for refugees in Kaloni village, as they are on their way to Mytilene city. A local person drove them there the night before. The couple is from Alepo in Syria where Tarik was working as an IT engineer for a French owned oil company until they closed down their business there in 2011. Since 2011 he moved to Kafarhamra north of Alepo, as his house in Alepo was in a dangerous area. He got married to Samar one year ago and they were waiting to see what will happen to their country. 6 months ago internet was cut so it was difficult to learn any news of what was really happening. Local TV was only broadcasting propaganda from different armies. On Friday one week ago, they decided to find a safe country to have their children and leave Syria where they saw no work and no future as they could not see the end of this war. They want to try to reach Germany or any other European country where they can find work. <br />
Their trip started from Alepo to Tartus by bus, then on an other bus to a port from where they boarded a ship for one and a half day to Toshojo port (Tasucu port?) in Turkey near Mersin. From there they took a bus for 13 hours to Izmir but before they arrive they heard that there were police checks in Izmir and as soon as they arrived, they boarded an other bus for 9 hour to Istanbul. There they stayed for two days until the smugglers told them that they could start their trip to Greece. They payed 1250 USD each and after two days, at 8 am, they met the smugglers at a metro station, they boarded a bus with 60 people and no AC and they traveled to a location near Izmir. The trip lasted for 7 hours and it was unbearably hot. When they got off the bus somewhere near the sea, they were told to switch off their mobile phones and walk for one hour until they reached the sea. There there were three dinghy boats with engines and 33 to 40 people would board on each
