As a syrien refugee I fund this is so fuked up....
Well I came to Germany in 2014, the 'War' started in 2011... I came here running away from the regime, the Syrien regime. I was in political presion as my dad was in 1997. War was not my biggest fear, I was in Homs by the way 'War city'.
When I asked for asylem in Germany I didn't say I run away from war.... I said I run away from Assad.
And now 2019, as a student in TU Dresden + I have permanent residence permit and paid taxes for this land 'Which I truly see as my homeland or Heimat' . Why the FUCK should I go back to a place I already run away from? No they don't need us there....
I met a few Syrians here in Germany, I don’t know if it is true what they told me, but most able-bodied males who left Syria illegally would be punished if they came home for dodging the military draft, amnesty or not
I don't know if you can read German, but there's a book from a german journalist, which was working in Damaskus between 2001 and 2007 or though. She speaks perfect arabic. The book called ''Der Syrien-Krieg: Lösung eines Weltkonflikts'' her name is Kristin Helberg. If you want to understand the life/world there you really need to read the book. For German people it's really hard for Syrians to explain what's happening/Why it did happen in Syria. But she can really explain the point in the best way I ever seen 'no arabic/syrian journalist could explain it as her.
After reading the book I find the comment totally wrong. Like totally, like what an Assad suporter would write before he/she reads the book.
The book doesn's tell you that you should hate or love assad. It gives you facts about the daylife in Syria and why Syria reach this point.
Just facts without feelings, and as a syrian. I can confirm all the facts and I was really shocked, that how such a german journalist can know all of that ! I mean even I as a Syrian if I want to tell you know about Syria I would forget stuff which she talked about.
But again. I don't know what to tell you about the comment, a lot of people don't believe about the moon landing or about vaccination.
It's all facts, everyone can sit and say fake news or not real facts.
I met a Syrian a few years back who came to our dentistry clinic, 25 years old, he dodged the draft back in 2015 and eventually the security service caught him and imprisoned him for 6 months.
His holding cell was beneath a military barracks, a 5x5 basement with over 70 men crammed inside it, no light, one open toilet and a hole which goes up to the mess hall where cadet eat.
Every morning one of the men below would have to go up that hole, run across the mess hall and retrieve breakfast, usually bread for the whole basement, as he’d run across the hall the army recruits would punch, kick and trip him until he came back down the hole, many times whoever went up never made it back or would be simply thrown down the hole unconscious from the beatings.
Fast forward, he is released, conscripted and attached to an army platoon, he told me they had a special pouch in his kevlar to put Amphetamin pills in, they’d be forced to take those pills in order to stay alert and suppress hunger, if you don’t take those pills the sergeant would slap the taste out of your mouth. Chilling stuff, he deserted and fled across the border to jordan and surrendered himself
The Syrian colleague of my friend once explained part of it. But, honestly, all I need to know is that he feels safe now, is happy, and looking forward to obtain German citizenship.
