Five years on, Balkans still a road of hope for migrants
[AlAhram] With a smart black sweater and clean-shaven face, Younes Qermoua recalls his first attempt to reach Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
five years ago, at the peak of the continent's refugee crisis.

After five years stuck in the Balkans, Arif, a soft-spoken 24-year-old from Pakistain, is one of those whose hope is fading."My mother and father keep calling me to come back home, and now I tell them, as soon as I get my papers, I'll be back".
Half a decade later, the world's attention has moved on but the 35-year-old Moroccan is back on the Balkan route, where traffic is picking up this summer even amid the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
