Six months is the time it took Abdul Waheed Zazai to reach France.

Six months of forced march marked by hunger and cold, the discovery of prison or sordid squats, detention camps and hostage-taking.

At fifteen, it's hard, very hard.

Today, Zazai has rebuilt his life in Strasbourg.

It is told under the pen of Julie Ewa.

His story is published by Editions de l'Archipel.
