Sánchez is sending ultimatums from his vacations in the Canary Islands?
The migrant fiasco turns into a border dispute.
The whole world saw the reality of Spanish migration chaos when about 60K North African invaders swam and overran the enclave of Ceuta a few days ago.
The Italian government of Giorgia Meloni went beyond strongly worded letters and imposed heavy border checks with Spain, despite the Schengen agreement.
So, Spain issued an ultimatum to Italy. It did not work.
BREAKING: The Spanish government says passport and nationality checks on Italian passengers will begin at midnight local time.
The move comes in response to Italy's restrictions on Spanish travellers after last week's migrant influx in Ceuta.https://t.co/WuTlXvYwFq
“’Italy does not accept ultimatums or impositions from abroad regarding national security and border control’, the Italian government said in a statement on Friday.
The Spanish government issued an ultimatum to Italy on Friday, demanding that it lift border controls imposed on travelers coming from Spain by Sunday, arguing that the measure is ‘unjust, contrary to the interests of the European Union and discriminatory towards the Spanish population’.”
🇮🇹🇪🇸 Italy just told Spain to SHOVE its ultimatum
After the Ceuta migrant crisis, Rome slapped temporary checks on arrivals from Spain.
Madrid demanded they come off by Sunday, August 9, and threatened "proportionate measures" if they don't.
“In a statement, the Spanish government argues that the decision taken by Rome on 1 August “is based on spurious arguments incompatible with the Schengen Borders Code and with the facts.”
Rome responded later on Friday, saying: ‘Under no circumstances do we intend to review our decision to suspend the application of the Schengen Agreement for third-country nationals coming from Spain, at least until 15 August’ – when another mass migrant crossing into Ceuta is rumored to be planned.”
We’ve been covering the story of the brutal killing of Elizabeth Jane-Ross here at Front Page Magazine. Ross had been volunteering for a charity working with Muslim migrants in Greece. She was murdered, her body stuffed into a suitcase and left abandoned in a building. The alleged perpetrator was an Afghan migrant who had been running his own ‘charity’.
And he had even been a poster boy for Afghan migrants.
The Red Cross had produced a movie: ‘Game of life: the story of Sharif’ which “tells the story of 15 year-old Sharif, who fled Afghanistan for one of Greece’s island camps. The video draws attention to the people behind the statistics.”
Mysteriously, the video was taken down by the International Red Cross, but fortunately its obscene sympathy-mongering for a killer and an invasion of killers is still available elsewhere.
We flick past them on our television screens, but each migrant has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. This is just one story out of more than a million who journey to Europe by sea.
This is the story of Sharif. Sharif comes from East Afghanistan. “I love my country a lot. I remember being with my family.”
Sharif’s mother moved them to Kabul to escape the fighting. “At the start of the year, my mother had a pain in her knee. She went to the hospital with my sisters and brothers. She was coming back to the house when a car came. It was a suicide bomb. They all died.” Sharif was all alone and aged only 15. Some of Sharif’s friends wanted to leave the country, so he joined them. They found a smuggler who could help. “The smugglers call it a game. If you want to go to another country, they’ll say, ‘No problem. We’ll put you in a game.’”
After we crossed the border, everyone was so happy because finally we made it. We thought we would die.” Sharif arrived in Istanbul, but he was unable to find any work. He tried to travel to Greece, but the police arrested him and put him in jail for 3 days. “When I got out, I found smugglers who created another game for me to go to Greece. Finally, I made it.” Sharif has now been at a camp in Lesbos for 6 months.
“Living in the camp is so hard. Sometimes when I think about living here, I get so crazy. I try to find somewhere calm and then I cry a lot. I have an aunt in the United Kingdom and she told me I can take full responsibility of you if someone helps you to get to the UK. But if I can’t get there, I don’t know what will happen to me. I want to have a life, to have a future, to be in a safe country.”
Fleeing war and persecution is no game. Yet every day, thousands more are forced to gamble with their lives. Meet the people behind the statistics, share their stories.
Yes, meet the actual people. And the horrifying consequences they inflict on us.
We have no idea how much if any of this sob story is true. What we do know is that when we believe them and allow them in, they kill us. And people like Elizabeth Jane Ross die.
This is their game. To try and get in. Then rob us, rape us and kill us.
Indeed, each migrant has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. But Hollywood would never dare make it.
Tensions reach a breaking point in Thetford as local residents confront the police over what they describe as a “two-tier” justice system. Screengrab youtube
Police have made several arrests over three nights of disorder in a small Norfolk town over what locals say is the sudden and unannounced imposition of illegal migrant males on the community by the government.
Thetford, a small town of some 25,000 near the Suffolk border in south Norfolk saw its third night of unrest and what some called an overly heavy-handed police response on Thursday over the emergence of so-called ‘HMOs’ — homes of multiple occupancy — regular family houses divided into small sub-units and used by the government to disperse boat migrants around the country. The apparently sudden and unheralded arrival of migrants placed in these HMOs on Tuesday came in a town already on alert over arbitrary migrant plantations given present government plans to turn a military base just a mile away into a massive dormitory to house 3,750 migrant arrivals in former Royal Air Force barracks.
Norfolk Police launch a dramatic operation…to disperse a group of men for throwing eggs at a migrant HMO pic.twitter.com/SRwtr60jxD
The protests began on Tuesday after a group of five men, believed by locals to be “illegal migrants” were moved into a property in the town that morning. There was no warning that the group were to be placed in the property beyond neighbours being told by the landlord that the property was to be let.
News of the alleged arrival of the migrant males triggered a protest just hours later, and by Tuesday night three properties were damaged, with windows smashed, fences broken, and at least one attempt to break into a building by a group of around 100 people.
Police eventually escorted a group of five males, with hooded tops drawn tight over their faces and reported by the local newspaper to be “asylum seekers”, out of the property and away from the protestors, and into a waiting van to be driven away.
There was a “largely peaceful” anti-immigration protest outside Thetford police station the following day on Wednesday, but there was again an attempt to raid what locals understand to be a migrant HMO leading to scuffles with police. Officers issued dispersal orders ten times as rocks and eggs were thrown. Two officers were sent to hospital after one was struck by a rock, and another was bitten hard enough to break the skin.
Locals turned out again on Thursday and egged a HMO, and were met by riot police, backed by extra legal powers to require protesters to uncover their faces or face arrest.
🇬🇧 Two men have been arrested following two nights of protests in Thetford, Norfolk, over the housing of asylum seekers in local HMOs.
Police escorted multiple groups of asylum seekers away from properties in the area.
Five people have been arrested over the course of the week on charges including “suspicion of racial hatred”, and public order offences. The chief of Norfolk police has promised further arrests relating to the injuries to officers and has promised the force will push for “firm, robust” prison sentences for those convicted, citing the example of the Southport riots where heavy sentences were passed down to some involved.
State broadcaster the BBC notes some locals have reflected that the police response to protests in the town have been “heavy handed” and complained that in one instance, a woman on a mobility scooter was pepper-sprayed. The chief constable Paul Sanford defended the force, asserting that the response had been proportionate and the lady in the wheelchair shouldn’t have been at the protest if she didn’t want to risk getting caught up in it. He told the BBC:
I absolutely refute that [we were excessive], we have people who are exercising their right to protest, and of course we will support that. There are people who live in Thetford who are concerned, understandably concerned about some of the things that are happening in their town.
However across three consecutive nights a group of people have crossed the line over what’s acceptable and we have been appropriately policing those behaviours. I’ve seen the reports of heavy-handedness, we’ve been firm, we’ve been firm with people who have broken the lawn. And if people wander into an active protest and ignore calls from the police to stand back, then there is a high likelihood they might get caught up in what occurs.
The top cop reflected that if officers hadn’t turned out, then protesters may have been able to storm alleged migrant HMOs and this could have threatened both the safety of the occupants “and indeed the protesters themselves”.
Local Reform UK councillor Scott Hussey has been a witness to the protests and challenged the police’s account of there having been major disorder justifying the deployment of riot officers. He accused the government of “opening a number of these HMOs across Thetford” and told the broadcaster: “There were some skirmishes, it was a spirited protest but I didn’t see any violence… We fully support their right to protest. I’d encourage people to protest peacefully and most of what I saw yesterday was peaceful.”
The councillor also toldThe Daily Telegraph — which reports that the three properties targeted in Thetford on Tuesday had all been bought by the same landlord this year — of one of the homes involved: “It’s a smallish three-bed terraced house which I understand was converted around two months ago into a [house in multiple occupation] for six people. It’s on a housing estate popular with young families, right around the corner from a primary school.”
Hussey’s Reform Party colleague Colin Sutton, a former murderer-catching Met Detective Chief Inspector who is now Norfolk’s elected Police and Crime Commissioner, said that while violence is wrong he sympathised with protesters when the government was rushing to plant migrants in local communities without consultation. He told the Newsnight programme on Thursday night: “I don’t know what people in the government actually expect.
“If you put these illegal immigrants into houses in the middle of housing estates, close to schools, next door to people, into communities who have absolutely no say in it, then I think it’s a pretty reasonable expectation that the people there will not be happy about it and will want to make a fuss. The fact is we’re getting about a thousand-a-week of these people coming in on small boats and we’re running out of places to put them.”
The protests in Thetford are just the latest in a series of incidents of public disquiet over government-forced plantations of new arrivals into communities in recent years, although it is somewhat unusual in that it brakes the norm of protests generally following high-profile migrant crimes being committed locally, rather than the mere arrival of incomers. One one such case, rioters clashed with police in Belfast earlier this summer after what was described as an attempted “beheading” in the city.

French conservative journalist and media executive Erik Tegnér has filed a complaint after being attacked by a large group of left-wing activists while on holiday on the island of Groix in Brittany, western France.
Tegnér, founder and director of the media outlet Frontières and a commentator on CNews, said he was confronted on the night of August 5-6 by a crowd that grew to around 150 people, a figure he said was confirmed by CCTV.
According to accounts based on his complaint and phone footage, he was recognised while leaving a bar with friends.
The group surrounded him, shouted insults including “Nazi, faggot, we’re gonna smash you, Groix antifa”, attempted to seize his phone, threw beer at him and subjected him to physical harassment for about 30 minutes.
They also insulted the journalist Jordan Florentin, who was not there that night but was present during this trip.
Two locals also stepped in. One of them, to protect Tegnér, pushed him while shouting “Go, they’re gonna lynch you!”
He repeatedly called the police and eventually escaped by boarding a boat at the water’s edge.
He filed his complaint at the gendarmerie on August 6 and an investigation has been opened. The Lorient public prosecutor’s office had not commented by that evening.
A video of the confrontation has circulated on Instagram, posted by an antifa account, followed by La France Insoumise (LFI) MEP Emma Fourreau and LFI MP Alma Dufour.
Some comments respond sympathetically, talking about “doing a Quentin”, in reference to the February 2026 killing of Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old nationalist student who died after being assaulted by a left-wing group in Lyon.
Tegnér posted that a formal complaint had been lodged and that no one would silence him.
He has previously been the target of similar violence: an attacker was convicted in September 2025 over an assault on him and his fiancée at a village event in Plouha, in Côtes-d’Armor, Brittany.
The incident has drawn expressions of support from conservative activists.
National Rally (NR) president Jordan Bardella offered his support as well and said: “The far left is the camp of intimidation, physical violence, and cowardice.”
“Justice must severely condemn these extremists who have no place in French political life. It is time for French society as a whole to become aware of the danger of the far left’s political violence!”
No immediate arrests have been reported.
On June 18, 2026 Tegnér was convicted in the first instance for publishing the names and professional details of immigration lawyers in a critical report on the migration industry.
Spanish police have arrested a 50-year-old Algerian man and his 16-year-old son over two violent robberies targeting three women in Alicante, including two elderly victims who were hospitalized after being thrown to the ground.
The father, who has a prior criminal record, was ordered into pretrial detention on Tuesday, while his son was placed in a juvenile detention center.
According to Información, the father is legally resident in Spain after obtaining regular status through Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s mass amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Both suspects are being investigated for possible involvement in other unresolved violent robberies in Alicante.
The father allegedly approached the elderly victims under the pretense of asking for help. The first reported attack took place at around 11 p.m. on Saturday in Tomás Valcárcel Square in Alicante’s San Blas neighborhood.
A neighbor called the authorities after hearing screams and seeing an Arab male run toward a waiting car. Officers arriving at the scene found two women, aged 87 and 72, lying injured.
After pretending to ask for directions, the man allegedly lunged at them, knocking both to the ground before ripping a chain from the 87-year-old woman and fleeing.
Both victims were taken by ambulance to the hospital, with one suffering a broken hip.
Officers subsequently learned that a 46-year-old woman had been robbed approximately two hours earlier by a man matching the same description, who took off in a car.
The license plate details provided by the victim and another witness matched the vehicle reportedly used following the attack on the two elderly women. This led to the duo being arrested.
Police said the 16-year-old admitted that he and his father had been stealing for two days but complained that “it doesn’t go well for us.”
Officers instead seized three mobile phones, a speaker, a watch and a credit card registered to another person.
The father has been charged with robbery and causing injuries to the two elderly women.
Jason Arday Screenshot from Channel 4 News’ Ways to Change the World podcast, 2023.
For several years, Jason Arday embodied an exemplary story. Diagnosed with autism, non-verbal until the age of eleven and having learnt to read late, he had become a lecturer at Cambridge at the age of thirty-seven. His journey was regularly the subject of admiring profiles in the British and international press. He was also presented as a key figure in the diversification of Britain’s academic elites, often described, depending on the source, as Cambridge’s first—or youngest—black professor.
Today, this success story is crumbling under the weight of allegations of plagiarism, biographical inconsistencies, and investigations into his academic qualifications. After initially defending its professor vigorously, Cambridge finally launched an internal investigation before Jason Arday tendered his resignation this week.
The scandal extends far beyond the personal case of a single academic. It reveals the excesses of a system in which the prestige of certain identities has taken precedence over basic verification requirements.
The first aspect of the case concerns the allegations of plagiarism. Analyses have highlighted numerous similarities between his doctoral thesis and earlier works. A previous investigation conducted by Liverpool John Moores University had found no grounds for disciplinary action, concluding that the issues stemmed more from citation errors than from deliberate fraud. However, new evidence has led Cambridge to reopen the case, alongside other investigations into his academic career.
Added to these suspicions are questions regarding several claims that had played a major part in building his reputation. Universities have disputed the honorary titles or visiting professorship roles attributed to him in various official biographies. Other claims concerning sporting achievements, fundraising records, or certain spectacular episodes in his personal life have proved impossible to verify or have even been contradicted by the available facts.
For several days, Cambridge responded to the criticism not by examining the evidence, but by denouncing an alleged smear campaign. Petitions in his support quickly portrayed Jason Arday as the victim of racist attacks aimed at bringing down a black academic in a prestigious position. It is, of course, possible that some of his critics were driven by ideological motives. But this hypothesis never absolves one from examining the facts.
Yet this is precisely what seems to have been lacking. Instead of responding point by point to the accusations, part of the debate shifted towards the supposed intentions of the accusers. This reversal has become all too familiar: when evaluation criteria become politicised, criticism itself is easily equated with a form of discrimination. This line of reasoning is dangerous for everyone, including researchers from minority backgrounds. By suggesting that certain careers enjoy special protection against ordinary criticism, it fuels precisely the suspicion it claims to combat.
How could a university as prestigious as Cambridge have appeared so unwilling to verify certain elements—which were, after all, central to the career of one of its professors?
The prestige attached to his personal history undoubtedly played a part. His career had become a powerful symbol of the diversity and inclusion policies pursued by many British universities. For many, questioning certain aspects of this history amounted to questioning the institutional narrative itself. Yet a university cannot function sustainably on narratives alone. It rests on a single true currency that is scientific credibility.
The most recent developments also show that the consequences of the scandal now extend far beyond the academic world. The Guardian has revealed that Jason Arday claims to have received an advance of around $1.4 million from the publisher Simon & Schuster for his memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things, which is still due to be published despite the controversy. The publisher refuses to confirm the exact amount but maintains its confidence in the project, emphasising that no allegations of plagiarism directly concern the book’s manuscript.
For Simon & Schuster, the situation has become particularly delicate. A publishing contract signed in exchange for a substantial advance constitutes a significant legal obligation. Suspending publication could lead to complex legal proceedings with the author; proceeding with the release, however, exposes the publisher to considerable reputational risk.
The responsibility lies not only with Cambridge but with a whole chain of institutions—universities, the media, publishing houses—which have played a major part in constructing a heroic figure before thoroughly verifying the foundations of that narrative.
Cases of plagiarism at university are rife. But the Jason Arday affair goes beyond this, signalling the collapse of academic excellence. The university must remain impartial to identity-based narratives when it comes to assessing the facts. The criteria for academic excellence must be the same for everyone, precisely because they protect everyone from arbitrariness. It is appalling to see that an institution as prestigious as Cambridge could so readily suspend its critical judgement and allow itself to be taken in by a narrative that fitted all too perfectly with the ideological expectations of the moment.
A Syrian fugitive who was wanted for trying to murder a man over a parking row in Romania was found living in a British council house claiming benefits.
Mohamad Agha was wanted by Romanian officials after being convicted of trying to murder Galea Andrei Calin with a pickaxe in August 2020.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard heard how Agha rowed with a driver after he parked near his home in Bucium, Romania, before striking him in the head with a pickaxe handle.
Having initially attended the trial, he skipped the last two hearings before heading to the UK.
Agha was eventually convicted in his absence and sentenced to four years in a Romanian jail, reports MailOnline.
However, he challenged his conviction while living in the UK but failed in March 2023 and was made the subject of a European Arrest Warrant.
After leaving Syria, Agha spent time in Germany, Holland, Belgium and Romania, where he met his current wife in 2017, the 51-year-old came to the UK with his wife in 2018.
The couple has two daughters, now aged four and two, who were both born in the UK.
Agha told the court he previously worked as a lorry driver in Newport while living in Cardiff, however suffered a back injury after slipping on ice in 2023 and subsequently began claiming disability benefits.
His wife, Ramona, said: “We decided to come to the UK so we could have a better life for our future children. I didn’t have a good life in Romania. It’s hard to make a living there, so we decided to move to the UK.
“Mohammed was a lorry driver. I do not have a job. I was a carer for Mohammed after he had an accident where he slipped on some ice. I think this happened in 2023.
“He injured his back very badly. We barely make do on Universal Credit. We get between £1,600 and £2,000. We are struggling financially. Before Mohammed went to prison, he was classified as disabled and was receiving Personal Independence Payments (Pip). He received about £500 every month.”
When asked why he did not attend the final criminal court hearing, he told the court he “did not feel the judge was being fair”.
District Judge John Zani wrote in his judgment: “Until his arrest and remand by this court, he had been living with his wife and their two young children in council accommodation.
“They are said to be a close family and both the requested person (RP) and his wife express concerns about the adverse effect that extradition will have on them all.
“The wife is said to be struggling financially and emotionally since he has been remanded in custody. Ramona says that she receives between £1,600 and £2,000 per month by way of UK state benefits. This is not an insubstantial amount.
“In my opinion, the criminal conduct set out in the arrest warrant is very serious. It is appreciated that there will be hardship caused to the RP and to his wife and their children. However, as counsel will be aware, that of itself is not sufficient to prevent an order for extradition from being made.”
During the full extradition hearing on October 29, the court head how Agha he had been granted five years’ leave to remain in the UK by the Home Office.
However, the court was not told when the permission was granted, on what basis it had been approved, or when it was due to expire.
The court also confirmed that Agha was extradited to Romania on July 30.
GB News has contacted the Home Office for comment.
A German judicial panel in Munich issued a life prison sentence Thursday to an Afghan citizen responsible for a vehicle-ramming rampage during a demonstration last year that claimed the lives of a toddler and her mother while leaving scores wounded, AFP reported.
The regional court found the 25-year-old defendant, named under local privacy guidelines as Farhad N., guilty on two counts of murder, 23 counts of attempted murder, and 22 counts of causing bodily harm, 19 of which were categorized as serious.
Magistrates determined that the offender’s actions bore a “particular gravity of guilt” – a legal determination that significantly limits the possibility of the convict securing early release from custody.
The vehicular assault took place immediately prior to the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of global defense and political figures, and was among a series of violent incidents involving foreign nationals that intensified political debates over asylum policies and domestic security in the lead-up to last year’s federal election.
During the incident, Farhad N. maneuvered a Mini Cooper around a stationary police vehicle before accelerating straight into a crowd of 1,400 union marchers.
The magistrate noted that additional casualties were avoided solely because the density of people hit by the vehicle gradually slowed and brought the car to a halt. Farhad N. maintained an emotionless demeanor as the judgment was delivered, according to AFP.
State prosecutors presented evidence during the trial indicating that Farhad N. was driven by “religious motivation” and shouted “Allahu akbar” following the rampage. However, investigators concluded he was not affiliated with organized terrorist networks such as the Islamic State (ISIS) group.
Prosecuting attorneys pointed to social isolation and anxiety as contributing elements. Farhad N. declined to provide an explicit statement regarding his motives during trial proceedings. Hoehne characterized the defendant as possessing “a fragile sense of self-worth” while attempting to project “an idealized image of himself”.
Defense counsel petitioned for the defendant to be placed in a psychiatric facility. Court-appointed psychological evaluators, however, concluded that his psychological condition did not diminish his legal accountability.
Farhad N. entered Germany as an unaccompanied 15-year-old minor in 2016. Although authorities denied his formal asylum application, he received authorization to remain in the country and obtain employment. Police records indicate he held employment in the security sector and was heavily involved in bodybuilding.
Investigators determined he underwent self-radicalization during the months preceding the strike by viewing online broadcasts from extremist Afghan clerics.
The vehicle attack occurred shortly before the February 2025 parliamentary election, in which the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party captured over 20 percent of the vote, its highest tally to date.
The event followed other violent attacks across Germany. Three weeks earlier, a fatal stabbing in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, resulted in the deaths of a two-year-old boy and a man. The suspect in that case was an Afghan national whose asylum application had been turned down, elevating immigration as a central campaign issue.
Additional violent attacks in Germany included knife incidents in Mannheim and Solingen the previous year involving Afghan and Syrian migrants. In the Solingen case, the perpetrator was a rejected asylum applicant who had been slated for deportation.
In December of 2024, a Saudi physician carried out a vehicle attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg after having previously drawn scrutiny from municipal authorities.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is pulling a film that presents the harrowing journey of an Afghan teenager to Europe after the man featured in it was accused of the killing of a Scottish aid worker whose body was found inside a suitcase.
Elisabeth-Jane Ross traveled to Greece with a heart full of compassion, volunteering to help the very migrant communities that the political left insists are completely harmless. Instead of gratitude, she met a horrifying end.
Ross was reported missing in mid-July. Last week, her body was discovered by a homeless man. She had been dumped in a derelict building in Athens, shoved inside a suitcase.
Greek authorities arrested Ahmadzai, a professional boxer who arrived in Greece as an “unaccompanied minor” in 2016, received asylum in 2018 and had no prior criminal record.
According to police, CCTV footage caught Ahmadzai casually wheeling the heavy suitcase containing Ross’s body through the streets of Athens.
Authorities say he then stole her bank cards and drained €10,000 from her accounts.
He admits to dumping the body and stealing the cash but claims she was “already dead” when he found her. Sure.
According to Reuters, he told investigators that he found Ross dead in an apartment bathroom, panicked, placed her body in a suitcase and attempted to dispose of it.
The cause of death has not been established because of decomposition, and asphyxiation has not been ruled out. His attorney says the defense is waiting for the coroner’s report, toxicology results and other evidence.
Police and court reporting say surveillance footage played a central role in identifying the suspect. Authorities also accuse him of taking more than €10,000 ($11,500) from Ross’s accounts.
Here is where the story gets even more sickening. Ahmadzai wasn’t just any migrant. He was the darling of the NGO complex. He had even married an American aid worker and set up a “ministry” for refugees in Athens, according to Ariana News.
The Red Cross loved his story so much they featured him in a film tracking his journey from Afghanistan to Europe. He was the perfect prop for their open-borders propaganda.
But the moment the narrative collapsed and their “refugee success story” was charged with intentional homicide, the Red Cross panicked.
According to The Daily Mail, the Red Cross scrubbed the film from the internet. They don’t want you to know the truth. They want to memory-hole the disastrous results of their own policies.
The news outlet reported:
The Red Cross has deleted a film tracking the journey of an Afghan migrant who is now accused of killing a British woman and hiding her body in a suitcase in Greece.
[…]
It has now emerged the Afghan-national collaborated with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and a London artist to create a film following how he escaped Afghanistan and reached the Greek island of Lesbos aged 15.
The four-minute animated film, named Game of Life: The Story of Sharif, was first shown on YouTube in December 2016, and includes a narration of his six-week migrant crossing.
The sympathetic video follows how his father, who was a military commander, was killed in an ambush and his mother and siblings were killed by a suicide bomb attack in Kabul.
Ahmadzai, accompanied by friends, was then smuggled out of Afghanistan’s capital and journeyed through Iran and Turkey, before he reached a refugee camp on Lesbos, named Moria.
