Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is -Static-, bringing you the stories that matter. Tonight, we have a special guest joining us, Ahmed, an Arab man who has not only deserted from Tell-Rabayr but was also one of the four courageous individuals who managed to escape that place. Welcome, Ahmed. Thank you for being with us.

Ahmed: Thank you for having me. It's an honor to be here and share my story.

Host: Ahmed, could you tell us a little bit about yourself and what led to your decision to desert Tell-Rabayr?

Ahmed: Certainly. I was born and raised in Khadnm, a peaceful town where I lived most of my life, once the terrorists came and raided our town, I was forced to enter their ranks, if I did not I would of probably been killed right there, I -Static-, once Tell-Rabayr started to lose lost of control, I wanted to escape, because I could not stand a day more in that slaughterhouse.

Host: That sounds incredibly challenging, Ahmed. How did you manage to escape from Tell-Rabayr?

Ahmed: It was an arduous journey, but with the help of a small group of like-minded individuals, we planned our escape meticulously. We knew the risks involved, but we were determined to seek a better life, free from the constraints and dangers we faced every day. We chose a night when the guards were less vigilant, and when the opportunity presented itself, we made a daring escape, crossing treacherous terrain and relying on each other for support and survival. I dont know what have happened to most of the group, but I know where Haman, my fellow friend who escaped with me.

Host: Ahmed, you mentioned that you were one of the four people who successfully fled Tell-Rabayr. Can you describe the challenges you encountered along the way?

Ahmed: Absolutely. Our journey was fraught with difficulties. We had to navigate through unfamiliar landscapes, avoiding checkpoints and staying off the radar. We endured hunger, thirst, and exhaustion, constantly on the move, fearing capture at any moment. It was mentally and physically draining, but our shared determination and resilience kept us going.

Host: Ahmed, now that you're here in Beyneu, how do you feel about your decision to desert Tell-Rabayr?

Ahmed: It's a mix of emotions, to be honest. Leaving behind everything I knew was difficult, but it was necessary for my survival and the hope of a better future. Despite the challenges, I am grateful to be here in Beyneu, where I have found a supportive community that understands and embraces diversity. I am rebuilding my life, and every day brings new opportunities and a sense of freedom I never thought possible.

Host: Ahmed, thank you for sharing your story with us and shedding light on the plight of those who have fled from places like Tell-Rabayr. Your bravery is an inspiration to us all. We -Static- wish you the best in your new life here in Beyneu.

Ahmed: Thank you for giving me a platform to share my experiences. It's my hope that by raising awareness, we can contribute to a world where no one has to endure the suffering we experienced in Tell-Rabayr. Together, we can make a difference.

Host: Absolutely, Ahmed. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you once again for joining us. -Static- Radio -Static-, signing off.
