FOUR COUNTRIES INVOLVED

Chapter 4 The situation in Afghanistan was worse than anywhere he had lived all his life. The food was not as good as it was in Yemen; more over more than five people had to eat from one plate with their bare hands. Water for bathing was scarce; they only had to bathe twice a week. Toilets were unbearable; most of them could not flush. In short Yassin was in big trouble hygienically. He found himself and others in the bush far away from any big or small-town. No post office, no telephone line, and worse his cell-phone was confiscated on arrival. Immediately after arriving they were divided into groups. The groups were subjected to some army-like training almost five days a week. Yassin was confused and felt betrayed by his father. For the first time he realized that some people who participated in those types of training including him had no idea what they were in for.
