Two young Kurdish Syrian men successfully reached Spain by swimming, starting their asylum journey from Ayn al-Arab in northeastern Aleppo and embarking from the shores of Morocco.
Ahmed Beki and Halid Omar, the two individuals, faced various obstacles during their trip. They began by traveling from Ayn al-Arab to Lebanon and then flew to Libya. From there, they illegally crossed into Algeria before entering Morocco through an irregular route.
On the morning of June 24, the duo plunged into the sea, starting their voyage towards Spain. Despite encountering soldiers guarding the coast, they managed to escape being captured.
Halid Omar shared, “We arrived at the coast around 7:35 this morning. The area was heavily guarded by soldiers. We swiftly plunged into the midst of them, and although the soldiers pursued us, we managed to elude capture.”
The decision to swim to Spain was driven by their loss of $11,000 to human smugglers.
Having reached Spain, Ahmed and Halid felt a sense of relief and are currently residing in a migrant camp, aspiring to secure asylum and begin a fresh chapter in their lives.
