One of the migrants is Ajmal Rahmani, an Afghan man who fled his homeland to build a new life in Ukraine. Ajmal is a journalist and political analyst. He was forced to flee his homeland due to numerous instances of threats on his life by local warlords and extremists. The threats forced him to leave his country in search of a better place where he can live freely. He sought refuge in Ukraine, but after a recent incident, he was again forced to flee his adopted country. Ajmal Rahmani is an Afghan refugee based in Ukraine. With the conflict between Russia and its neighbor county intensifying, Ajmal and his family fled to Ukraine for refuge. Three years later, they were forced to seek a secure haven in the neighboring country Turkey when a bomb landed on their apartment building in Kiev.
