[@slowfox532]

Good job boys! I live in Hamburg and wish you all the best for the future. I am sure, you all will find your way.

[@alanamoss8676]

They'll find their way to convert you all to islam. Watch out what you wish for....you might just get it.

[@sfz82]

I study medicine. I worked for 7 years before i went to university, but in total the state spend around 200.000€ more on my education than what i paid in taxes until know. When i retire, i will probably have paid > 2.000.000€ in taxes. Its called an investment.

[@frankabagnale7475]

I'm really glad to see these 3 young men giving a voice to all the refugees. Their talk shows up their human side, which isn't very approachable for Germans due to the massive language barrier

[@leonhorst2269]

I appreciate your great video, guys! a suggestion - add some inormation that you switch to english/deutsch later during the talk, otherwise people might close the video early.

[@imranvahora2003]

right.... i was about to close the video as soon as i started..... they should give subtitles for the non-english languages.... by the way, i hope they achieve in germany whatever they hoped for in their own country...

Sehr cool. Schön dass Sie hier sind. Wir brauchen Menschen wie Sie!

Till Eulenspiegel das gute its, dass Sie nichts zu sagen, wer aufgenommen wird und wer nicht.ein flüchtling muss einem Land nichts bringen, denn er ist ein flüchtling!

Ja brauchen wir, aber nicht in unserem Land!

Pray courageous souls have the courage n opportunity to speak. Divine Universe intervene. Bless you, Thank you. All your dreams come true.

The lives of young boys going through the greatest transition of their lives. I grew up in Australia and my parents had a family of Dutch refugees living in the back rooms of our home. My heart goes out to those refugees having to learn a new language and new ways of living. I heard many stories from our Dutch friends of how their lives were ruined by the Nazis, so I think it is fairly appropriate that Germany should be so kind as to open their hearts and go to a lot of trouble for these boys. I pray they will all learn good ways and get along.

[@hippysloth]

It was really interesting to hear these stories and it definitely puts some balance to what you hear on TV. Kareem is maybe finally coming near what he was wishing and working for, for a long time. I was sad to barely understand any of Ibrahim's talk. A few things bother me with Yusuf's story, though. I live in the EU and if I wanted to go to any other country I'm required to present a document when asked by the police to identify myself. If I didn't, they'd have to arrest me, take my prints and try to identify me other ways. Yusuf said he was forced to give fingerprints after he hid his document. I'm really struggling to understand why he hid the documents in first place, and why he finds it problematic that police had to take his fingerprints. How should he be identified instead? Should he be treated differently than anyone else in any country? And, if he already managed to make it into Turkey (which 2 years ago, when this was recorded, was still very much peaceful, even if now with Erdogan's actions it's getting more and more critical), why'd he want to go all the way to Germany. Universities are comparable in all of these countries, Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Germany (except the really top ones, but the general quality of studies is still comparable all over Europe). What is more, not the standard, but the way of life (quality of food is better, work-life balance) is much better in any of the other countries than in Germany, if I had to choose to go to live in any of these Germany definitely isn't my first choice. Turkey has a much closer culture to Syria, which means less adaptation needed, therefore a less stressful and more pleasant life. Why would you then go all the way to Germany, being robbed of shitloads of money by people who promised to help, and all of this for a less enjoyable life? And even more importantly, he was living in Cyprus and studying in a private university. So he wasn't escaping a war in Syria - as he describes it, he was living (and leaving), what we could call, a good life. I've been to Cyprus recently and it's wonderful, the economy has stabilised and the standard is really high, so, in the first place, I cannot understand why someone would want to leave there and go for Germany. And even if they did, they could have just flown there. Plane tickets can cost like 50€, and since he was legally in Cyprus, which is EU, because of his studies, he was allowed to legally travel to Germany, too. I'm sorry to hear what he had to go through and I hope he's having it better now, but I can't avoid thinking that all of that was in vain, cause he could have done it in a million better ways. :/ :(

One day you will be old and in a rest home and these boys will be the tax payers supporting you.

[@kmaschke7041]

They are home.

[@religiohominilupus5259]

Too bad your American hosts don’t tell YOU to go home but clearly, you’re in much better company there anyway so stay where you are!

G c b, not if they go home!

You can't be a young men and refugee. STUDY LAW!!!!!

[@Exodon2020]

Maybe they are Draft-Dodgers. So What? I wouldn't take up amrs for a Regieme bombing my family either! Nor would I take up arms for Religious Extremists. Syria is a failed State thanks to this Moron sitting in Damascus escalating protests into a full-scale Civil war.

Also i can tell you if we in germany were ravaged by war, we woulf pick up any weapon possible and defend the Vaterland.
