Refugee boy straps himself under British courier’s van to get into UK - Edoman - 02-04-2020 Refugee boy straps himself under British courier’s van to get into UK after his parents were killed A refugee boy was found strapped underneath a British courier’s van in a desperate bid to flee war-torn Dafur for UK. The van's driver who said he stopped over at the Ibis Hotel Tunnel Sous la Manche, near Calais border on January 14 while on his way to Paris, said he began hearing a loud bang around 20 miles into the journey the next day. He however ignored it at first thinking it was the goods he was transporting. The British driver told Metro; Quote:‘About 25 miles later the banging happened again but it was so loud I thought somebody was in the back of the van. Though the boy said he is 18, the driver believes the Sudanese kid who lost his family to the crisis in Dafur region of Sudan is 15. The courier further disclosed that the refugee boy identified simply as Saudi said he sat under his van for hours while it was parked in the hotel’s car park, after seeing the UK registration plate. The driver added; Quote:‘He told me the French police had already beaten him up, there is quite a lot of violence in Calais,’ added Kyle, who has been a European courier for 12 years. He later dropped Saudi in the centre of Calais, gave him €100 and left his contact details. Quote:‘I told him I couldn’t take him to England and wished him all the best'. Checking in on the Sudanese kid weeks later via Facebook, the courier was happy to learn that Saudi is now staying in a refugee hostel in Hayes, Hillingdon, west London. A grateful message from Saudi read: Quote:‘Me now in UK thank you for your help I don’t forget you [sic].’ |
