105-year-old Afghan refugee seeks better life in Europe

Share:

Bibihal Uzbeki, from KunduzShe is 105 years old but still dreams of a better life without wars and bombs.

Bibihal Uzbeki, from Kunduz, Afghanistan, is among tens of thousands who have traveled across continents, deserts and seas fleeing war and poverty to search for a happier, safer future in Europe.

Wrapped in a green scarf and a brown blanket, she was brought on a stretcher to Croatia’s main Opatovac refugee camp Monday after crossing in from Serbia with a large group of refugees, including her son and several other relatives.

Croatian police say they checked her documents and she is 105 years old. Her son also says that is her age, but it could not be independently verified.

The trek into Europe is dangerous and exhausting, even for refugees one-fifth her age.

    Afghanistan stand between the current month and in the course of the full year to second place in the countries of origin of refugees, the minister said “This is unacceptable.””

        The dilemma is that too many vagabonds sabotage the chance for the refuge for the real refugees.

        Not many have seen the story unedited.
        No wounder that they suppose that every asylum seeker is like this 105-year-old Afghan refugee.

    “Federal government wants to deport more Afghans – BERLIN (Reuters) – The German government wants to reinforced the deportation of people from Afghanistan back in their homeland.

    The country in the Hindu Kush is now moved to second place in the list of countries of origin of “Flüchtligen”, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said on Wednesday after a cabinet meeting in Berlin. This could not last.

    De Maiziere noted that increasingly members of the middle class as well as from the capital Kabul came also . “We agree that the youth of Afghanistan and the middle-class families to remain in their country and there build the country with the Afghan government.” German soldiers and police wore help to make the country safer. Also much aid was flown to Afghanistan. “As you can expect the Afghans to stay in their country,” the minister emphasized. The refugees from there could therefore not be expected that they could stay in Germany, “not as tolerated”.
