In the mid-60’s, Abu Ahmed never envisaged the turn his life would take during what needs to have been his golden age. Eminating from the quiet village of Maryoda, Abu Ahmed was simply comfortable enough to manage his and the wife’s needs, and a son who is suffering from a disability. The conflict turned his world inverted plus the lives of millions of others. Continuous airstrikes forced him to flee his lifelong home together with his family, as well as thousands of others from neighbouring villages. Unaffordable housing in the safer capital of scotland- Ras al Ayn meant he'd to go again shortly. Now within the village of Zammar, the sympathetic locals have provided Abu Ahmed free housing.

His family never have got word of him since. In the constant condition of turmoil, he informs us, “I are not aware of whether my son is dead or alive. Must i await him? Or must i pray he rests in peace?” Abu Ahmed ended up being dealt an additional blow - another son were dead, leaving his 11 kids nobody to keep up them. The struggle was now to became much tougher.
