Hasnt seen them for two years and the best she can do is see their faces on her phone my son every time he get away with the with foreign war when he talked with me he got a mom when did you come to germany but its very difficult. Because all fled single in iraq four years ago but it was overrun by ice and her family has been on the move the since two years of camps in turkey before she got to the greek islands then it was athens it to many on the Macedonian Border the notorious picture camp on Mount Olympus and now here mahmoud had left them and has begun to build his own life in germany both he and his brother are in school but as he says hes having to be a parent as well as a brother. Because it has all the papers she needs to be in germany as well but she isnt and its tormenting her thats not the right for the government government gentlemen its not the right there where we have the.
