My Story “The Missed Child Soldier” I was just a child at the age of 14 yrs old when I arrived in Switzerland in 2008 through crossing Mediterranean Sea and Italy.I landed eventually in Arbon, Switzerland, where I shared a house of two rooms and half with three Alshabab operatives (Ismail, Mohamud Jama, Mahamed Farah) who frequently tried to brainwash me and recruit me as child soldier for alshabab terrorists and they wanted me to go back to Somalia and fight for them.
At some point, they were tired of me resisting their brainwashing and recruitment, and they started using violence and torture against. The area is always quiet, and no one is around, and whatever was going on in our apartment was discreet. Those alshabab operatives sold all kinds of drugs to local consumers, and no police have ever shown up to arrest them for their apparent crimes.
I finally revealed the secret behind their impunity and the police’s inaction against them because the operatives were the clan relatives of the Somali interpreters who worked for Thurgau authority as interpreters and as undercovers.They have beaten me many times with wooden sticks and they injured me and I went to show my wounds, and report to the police about their violence against me, the police turned me away and even threatened me to get criminalised if I continued accusing those operatives.
Finally, I was tired of the situation and decided to leave Switzerland for another EU country that I don’t name, because they granted me asylum and I finally got the peace I dreamed about for so long, but before I left Switzerland I told the whole story to a Somali Journalist (His pseudonym name is Bashir) in Amriswil, Thurgau, but I warned him that he could face the same fate as mine or even worse if he decided to investigate their organized crimes……I left and got lasting peace.My name is Abdikadir Abubakar.
