Happy to be in German Classes



Sulaiman, Kiarash and Ahmad are all 16 and have been at the Bayernkaserne refugee camp, a former barracks in northern Munich, for the last month.

Sulaiman and Ahmad are Afghan, whilst Kiarash is from Iran, and they're funny and charming guys who travelled independently via Turkey and Lesbos.

I asked them how the camp was. "It's great" Sulaiman replied "it's not cold and we all get our own bed.They have grouped us by nationality, the Afghans in one place and the Syrians in another, and we're allowed to go out the camp during the day. We are getting lessons in German so we are not bored. And I am not having to be afraid of suicide bombers here. "

Ahmad and Kiarash have been told they will be resettled in a more permanent camp on Wednesday. "We don't know where yet, it's somewhere in the forest" Ahmad told me.

Also at the camp I met lots of other nationalities, including Somalis, Malians and Gambians who had made the journey through Libya and across the Mediterranean to Italy. Many people I met were just teenagers.
