SUMMARY:“If I would not have gone to war\, I would have been illegal.” 
  On a former child soldier’s seeking for freedom and belonging (MA proje
 ct)
DESCRIPTION:If you would like to join the Zoom session\, please contact s.b
 urri@unibas.ch.\\r\\nAli\, a young Afghan\, arrived in Switzerland as an u
 naccompanied minor refugee. He escaped from Afghanistan where the Hazara p
 eople cannot feel safe. Ali grew up as an orphan in his uncle’s family. 
 Ever since\, he has been looking for freedom\, safety\, and a sense of bel
 onging. So\, he took off\, when he was fifteen years old. The reality acro
 ss the Iranian border appeared brusquely serious. Either he had to return 
 to Afghanistan or he had to serve in Syria’s war against terrorism. How 
 did Ali perceive the options he could consider\, and how much of a choice 
 did he have? Among the key factors known to put children at risk participa
 ting in war\, are war itself\, poverty\, education or employment\, and a d
 isrupted or non-existent family. Apart from those factors the role of adol
 escence can be considered. Does adolescence contain specific aspects that 
 may contribute to the decision to go to war? Examining aspects of adolesce
 nce offer an interesting and more nuanced view both on the agency and on t
 he motivation of youth to join the army. In the presented chapter of the m
 aster thesis\, Ali’s motives to join the war are discussed and\, linked 
 to his seeking of belonging.
