The tattoos across Saad
Khudeir’s body conceal the Iraqi
soldier’s scars and reveal his
unseen wounds.

The face of his fiancee, who was killed in a car bomb near his Baghdad home in 2008, looks up from his
right arm. Four years later, a suicide bomber rammed his army convoy in Fallujah, leaving burns across
70 percent of his body.
He survived both bombings, but was left with gruesome scars.
“People stared at me, and sometimes I felt they were scared of me at the swimming pool,” the 36-year-
old said.
So over the next four years he spent some $2,500 on tattoos, which now cover most of his body. There
is a cross and a staircase, and above it a man representing Jesus flanked by two angels. There are
flames and Japanese letters.
“Through Christian icons, I want to say that there is no difference between Muslims and Christians,”
said Khudeir, who is a Muslim. “The flames express the fire still raging inside me for my loss.”
Years of war and unrest have inflicted physical and emotional scars on countless Iraqis. Aboud Abbas,
who owns a tattoo studio in Baghdad, said around 20 people have come in this year asking for tattoos
to conceal their scars, a 30 percent increase from last year.

Ali Mohammad Rezaie
(pictured below) does not
celebrate his birthday
because his Afghan
parents never noted the
date he was born. Yet he
knows exactly when he
arrived in Berlin to seek
asylum: Oct 15, 2015.
GALLLERY PHOTOS

That day changed his life.
"It wasn't a special day. I was tired and
had been on the road for two months,"
he told Reuters of his overland journey
through the Balkans
GALLLERY PHOTOS

Since then he's sung in a
choir and done internships
and temporary work at a
nursing home, a bakery,
hotels and restaurants. It is a
far cry from the village of his
birth 26 years ago.
More than 1 million people
have come to Germany as
migrants since 2015 under
Chancellor Angela Merkel's
open door policy. Since then,
migration has divided Europe
and helped propel a rise of
far right parties.
Rezaie and his German friends Chris and Jochen eat together in his flat
GALLLERY PHOTOS

Rezaie is among those doing their best to
make Germany home, but integration is a
journey with many highs and lows and it
requires more than simply finding a job
and learning German.
One woman who helped him is Chris
Wachholz. They met at the choir and she
later invited him to cook and practice
German at the home she shares with her
husband. A common interest in
motorbikes deepened their friendship.
"Meeting this family was like being given
an opportunity for my birthday. They are
like my ... mother and father," he said.

But his immigration status prevents him taking further steps. His
asylum application was rejected and he can only stay on as a
'tolerated person', which means he will not be deported but lacks
secure status.
As a result, it is unlikely the temporary job he has found preparing
food and cleaning at the Lufthansa lounge at Berlin's Tegel airport
will be made permanent.
"I have an apartment here. I know many nice people. If they deport
me I'll lose everything," he said. His fear is exacerbated because his
Afghan ethnic group, the Hazaras, have faced attacks from militants
in Afghanistan.

Many migrants say they are welcomed
by Germans but others say they have
experienced hostility. At the same time,
a handful of militant attacks by
migrants have enabled some politicians
to argue they represent a threat to
German society.
For some, though, the move to Germany
has meant new freedom.

GALLLERY PHOTOS

Haidar Darwish was dancing in
Schwuz, one of Berlin's oldest gay
clubs, last year when Israeli
student and drag queen Judy La
Divana approached him and asked
him to perform in her show.
He had never danced on stage in
his homeland Syria, but La Divana
convinced him to try.

"Now, many people ask me when and
where my performances take place so they
can come. Not to brag about it," he said.
Darwish works at Bruno's.

To supplement this income, he
works at Brunos, a fashion and
erotic shop that targets gay
men.
"I found out that the store
manager ... had come to my
shows many times and we'd
even danced together once," he
said.
Darwish tries on a head ornament.

Sexual freedom was not the
main reason he left Syria in
2016 - the country is at war,
after all - but it represents a
discovery he would not trade

For others, the quest for freedom
has been fraught.
Joseph Saliba was nine when his
father sent him to work for a
friend in Damascus who restored
wood and mosaics. He slowly fell
in love with the craft and later
become a wood restorer. His
business was booming when war
broke out in 2011.
Saliba lacquers a pew at the Berlin Cathedral.
GALLLERY PHOTOS

Scared of being drafted into the Syrian
army, he decided to flee to Europe three
years ago.
His German language class went on a
field trip to Berlin Cathedral and
immediately he felt a connection. He
offered to volunteer in restoration work
at the church using tools he had made
himself. A year later, the church offered
him a paid job.

GALLLERY PHOTOS

The church became a home but not
Germany. Authorities refused to give
him a refugee travel document and
referred him to the Syrian embassy in
Berlin.
Saliba said he did not want to enter
the embassy of the government from
which he had fled and he is suing the
German government to get a refugee
passport.
"I fled the lack of freedom to get
freedom here," he said. "I didn't find
this freedom here."

The issue resonates especially with older
Poles who remember deadly anti-

when the miners emerged as heroes.

those trees were there," he told
Reuters in his art studio in a housing
estate for mining families in the
southwestern Polish city of Katowice.

covered it up."

The Wieczorek mine in Katowice, with its
towering brick shaft, is among dozens
closing down throughout Poland, home
to one of the most polluted coal mining
regions in Europe.
From Sunday, Katowice will host a round
of United Nations climate talks, at which
nearly 200 countries will attempt to
agree rules on how to shift the world
economy from fossil fuels to try to curb
rising temperatures.
The meeting comes as the World
Meteorological Organization warned on
Thursday that global temperatures were
on course to rise by 3-5 degrees Celsius
(5.4-9.0 degrees Fahrenheit) this
century, overshooting a global target of
limiting the increase to 2C.

Grzegorz Chudy noticed for the

was vibrant with trees in the full
bloom of spring. The smell was
heady.

Reaching agreement on how to
implement ambitious fossil fuel
cuts at the talks could be tough
given fears over the impact on
industry which have divided the
European Union and trade tensions
between the United States and
China.
Poland has painful experience of
the difficulty of an economic
transition from coal and even as it
counts down to Sunday, it
announced plans for a new coal
mine in the south of the country.
Its government drew support in
part from those with an emotional
attachment to the job security,
social fabric and national pride
associated with mining that
overlooked the downside for
health and the planet. Chudy at his atelier.

Built to house the families of miners at
the start of the 20th century,
Nikiszowiec was designed as a self-
sufficient neighbourhood with its own
communal bread ovens and pigsties, as
well as a bath house for miners and
laundry and mangle facilities.
In the years after communist rule ended
in Poland in 1989 and the mining sector
started to shrink, the area became
notorious for crime and poverty.

"For me using coal in a different way

can call it our new, cool black gold,"
Katarzyna Depa, who makes jewellery
from coal, said.
But for those with mining in the blood,
moving on is harder and the smell of
coal dust is as sweet as blossom.

Above all they miss the community
spirit even if it meant shared
danger and hardship.
"The atmosphere used to be much
better," miner Krzysztof Zawisza
said. "On Friday or Saturday
evening people were coming out to
sit on the banks, drink some beer,
have a barbecue. Now I do not
know most of those who have come
here."

Braving cold weather and
snow, dozens of migrants
are heading daily from
Bosnia up a steep
mountain pass toward
neighboring Croatia, trying
to slip by unnoticed by
border guards or police.
GALLLERY PHOTOS

Carrying sleeping bags and personal belongings, the migrants tread slowly through the snow in
groups, with some waving: "See you in Europe!"
Croatia's border is 20 kilometers (15 miles) from the Bosnian town of Bihac, where hundreds of
migrants are staying in a makeshift camp waiting for a chance to cross. Croatia is one of the 28
nations in the European Union, while Bosnia is not.
The narrow road winds up the Pljesivica mountain through the forest and migrants must walk for
hours before they reach the Croatian border. With the weather worsening in the past several
days, migrants now face snow and freezing temperatures on their trek, setting off in the
afternoon to reach the border in the dark.
Thousands of migrants from the Middle East, Africa or Asia have been flocking to northwestern
Bosnia for the crossing, and many must try several times before they manage to slip past the
border police.
Impoverished and still recovering from its own 1992-95 war, Bosnia has had difficulties properly
accommodating the migrants. At the migrant camp in Bihac, wet snow is falling, mud is
everywhere and tents offer little comfort from Bosnia's harsh winter.

Some migrants wear only worn-
out shoes and no socks as they line
up to receive a hot meal from aid
groups helping out in the Borici
camp, a former student dormitory
damaged during the war.
"It's very difficult to survive here,"
said Feroz Han Amanazay from
Afghanistan, noting that the water
is cold, there is no heating and the
tents are too big to warm up.
Nur Rahman, also from
Afghanistan, agrees the situation
is "very difficult" and says the
migrants need more clothes and
medicine. But he says they won't
give up their quest to reach the EU.
"We are planning to cross the
mountain, even if it's minus 50
every day," he said.
