Muutama lainaus ketjusta:

My bio I'm a Kurdish Syrian, 18 years old, came to Germany 9 months ago and applied for asylum which was granted to me 2 months ago. I'm doing this AMA to help you get another perspective on the Syrian situation and the refugee crisis in Europe.

What exactly turned for the worse all of the sudden, that has so many Syrians fleeing? It seems like in the past few weeks there's suddenly floods of refugees when you never heard about it before. Was it always like that and the media is just now catching up, or what?

The open invitation Frau Merkel gave!
Plus the bad situation in Turkey
Really, if you want to solve this crisis, ask Turkey to give the people there a legal status, where they can work and go to school ... etc

How did you learn about and then chose the route you picked to join Europe ?

--

That's a great question.
It's quite easy actually to pick a smuggler, it's not like they are hiding or something, go to Istanbul, and ask anyone to take you to Europe, and they'll take you to someone they know to explain the step by step process and ta-da you're en route to Europe.

How did you finance your trip? How much did the smuggler(s) ask for?

--

sorry didn't notice your reply.
I had an internet cafe in Syria which brought in very well, and my Dad completed the necessary amount, which was around 11000 euros.

Speaking of welfare, did you consider moving on from germany into Scandinavia (denmark, sweden, norway)?
It's really a hot, depressing, debate in /r/Denmark at the moment, but I would like your(or if you know other syrians opinions) thoughts on these places, and why you didn't go there, if possible.

I doesn't really matter for me, here in Germany or a Scandinavian country, I can work and provide for my own, and that's I suppose is the stand of many young guys, the people who would prefer Scandinavia over Germany are those with families.
