Resolutely, Saud Khan sitting on his bunk is looking at white wall. The goal of his 19-month odyssey seems to be unattainable, yet Afghans are ironically stuck to it. “I want to return to my country – to England,” repeated 25-year-old in detention camp in Serbian Obrenovac prayer mill.

When Taliban had killed 2009 his far, he fled from his north Afghan hometown of Baghan, man reports with unwavering gaze crushed. He needed a year to get to Britain. He lived in Gloucestershire for five years before being deported after his asylum was rejected. But in his village, ever-flickering battles and Taliban’s renewed death threats have left him no peace: “I never felt safe.”
An uncle gave him money to 2016 flight again. With tormented facial expression, Saud reports on Raff’s greedy tugs, fears of death on stormy ship passages, strokes of frontiers and Islamist compatriots, deportations, and fear-dreaming. Does he talk about experiences of his first or second escape? Leaping and Fab, he makes his refugee life a revue. He is confused, his memory is “no longer right”: “I often dream that you follow me.” His life was “ruined,” he sighed: “Who would not go mad in such a situation?”
“Minors and families are stuck”
Up to 14,000 people daily moved to West in autumn 2015 at height of refugee crisis via so-called Balkan route through a corridor from Greek Aegean to Austria. Its official closure in March 2016 and reinforced border barriers have now appreciably reduced number of transit migrants in riparian countries, but ir severely slowed-down urge to West is by no means completely defeated.

Refugees would still come and go, “albeit in much smaller numbers,” reported in Serbian Belgrade Radoš Ðurović, director of charity Centre for Protection of Ayslsuchende (CZA). On “At least 20 people” per day, he quantifies number of refugees who mostly reached Serbia, but also from Macedonia. There are still people who, thanks to ir means and thanks to tugs, would be able to move through country relatively quickly: “but especially minors and families without money are becoming more and more stuck. They are often disoriented, no longer know what to do and what ir future might look like. And ir psychic condition is usually very bad. “
In detention camp in former barracks of Obrenovac, almost exclusively by younger men under age of 30, re is “a lot of energy”, says his head Sava Rakić: “The more man waits and thinks about his situation, more nervous he becomes.” After all, although average dwell time in currently approximately 700 people counting camp is now four to five months, re have been no significant incidents.
Some of his protégés, mostly from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, remained only a few days or weeks, ors had tried 25 times without success to overcome borders to Croatia, Hungary or Romania, Rakić reported: “They are caught, Beaten and deported. They can be treated here by doctors, resting a little – and n try again: most of m come back from borders, but some do not. So re is still a draught. “
