As we celebrate Christmas and New Year at home with family, on a tropical holiday or on a solitary trek I remember those in Syria and Iraq between parties and present wrapping. It’s certain that they aren’t having such a relaxed festive season.

Here is the story of my friend Ahmed, who is safe now in Sweden after many years of struggle. Have a read and please remember all refugees from terror and oppression in your thoughts and prayers.

Ahmed, safe at last
