The Transformative Impact of a Selfie with Angela Merkel on a Syrian Refugee's Life

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Anas Modamani, an 18-year-old Syrian refugee, unknowingly took a historic selfie with Angela Merkel in 2015, not realizing her significance.
  • Modamani felt honored when the selfie appeared in Merkel's autobiography, marking a moment in history that recognized his experience and struggles.
  • Years later, he has developed his career as a video producer in Berlin but faced challenges, including backlash from far-right groups misusing his image.
  • Modamani plans to return to Syria for the first time in nine years to rebuild his family's home and hopes for a more open and modern Syria.
  • He reflects on the journey as a successful outcome of the chances given to him, assuring he'd tell Merkel, “I didn’t disappoint her.”
