Domeni, Greece.- Wrapped like a madonna in a blue plastic dripping water, Rachid check pests: "In the country of the sun, the only place in Greece where rain is Idomeni!". The water, which does not stop falling for two days, he is ruining the business.
"A day without work is a financial hole , " he says that Iraqi 36, mechanic training, who escaped from "those crazy murderers" Islamic state and, once here, with his brother Faisal, has become the barber refugee camp. With a pair of scissors, a knife and three or four combs, Rachid has installed two chairs at the edge of the only road through the sea of tents. And while short hair, sideburns and mustaches, lavishes advice on the bestlooks to his companions in misfortune.
By their attitude and appearance, obvious that Rachid and his brother are in better condition than others. They even have the luxury of renting a small generator ". There is no electricity and I prefer to work till night," he says proudly.
Convinced of the benefits of diversification, also used the generator to charge cell that recharges in clusters, are protected from the rain under a wooden box. "Every day of work here will be a good day to spend in Germany" sentence.And as Rachid can not yet Faisal took over the "phone industry."
Trapped in hell Idomeni, not knowing when they will depart for the promised land, every day there are more migrants who follow the example of Rachid.
The Syrian Malik installed a micro-store fortune, which is provisioned in the grocery business closer to the field and resells "a refugee price" everything needed for cooking: peppers, lemons, tomatoes, canned beans. In the same artery, his cousin Ali has a fruit: there are four drawers filled twice daily with apples and oranges.
Refugees appreciate these services. "With just three euros, our women can work miracles. Eating something that evokes the life we left behind helps us move forward," said Abdullah Kamir, a Syrian computer, father of five children between one and 10 years one day they he said "enough to pumps Bashar al-Assad".
But the most lucrative business in the country is selling prepaid calling cards. vital for any candidate element into exile, cell phone not only keeps you in touch with the family that stayed behind, but thanks to social networks and the Internet also tells you the minute on border closures and measures adopted by governments.
While Samir (20), Omar (20) and Mustafa (23) survive on that activity. The three friends, who claim to be "Syrians from Aleppo," but most likely come from Afghanistan, know by heart all its secrets. Of course, nobody asks them how to do ... "The day develemos those secrets will be over our future," says Omar. "Seventeen hours in the water ..." confirms Shamir. The truth is that all three have become the most sought after field characters. "Everyone's looking for," says Edith Duncan, a British nurse working as benevolent. "Where there crush of young people, there is one of them. The advantage of this is that, while they can earn their lives and not at risk of falling into the hands of the mafias who use them for the worst purposes," he adds. With admiration, volunteers from the numerous NGOs in Idomeni point energy and inexhaustible imagination that encourages refugees.
"As evidenced by the history of emigration over time, one can say that those who leave are generally the strongest and most adaptable and resilient population people. Angela Merkel understood perfectly. He knows that in just one generation, will human strength needed for your country remains the first European power "analyzes Pietr Kozak, migration specialist at the university of Athens. According to economists, a million refugees represents a point of GDP per year.
In Idomeni, the champions of that energy are the guys. Hazan, for example, that eight years decided to start his own stall selling cigarettes to "help his older brother (just 12) to continue the trip to Germany." Got an empty drawer, sat back and put his few tied in a row: "! Marlboro Marlboro" announces as loud. It is certain that when I grow up will have "a supermarket chain in Munich".
