His Family Fled Afghanistan. In Turkey, Other Afghans Help Them Build A New Life

Sayyid Ali Hussaini (center), his wife Mahbube and daughter Elisa sit together in the Turkish city of Trabzon. Originally from the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif, the family fled Taliban advances over the summer and arrived in Turkey last month.

The Taliban beat him for being Hazara. He spent his life savings to smuggle his family to Turkey — climbing over its border wall — to find a community of Afghans that helps each other get settled.
