A Migrant From The Expelled Generation - Abridged

Summary

"A Migrant from the Expelled Generation"

What happens to a generation when their dreams of a decent, dignified life in their own home are shattered? Firas El Echi shares his story and theirs, recounting the journey of those who left everything behind in search of hope and opportunity. From his school days in Tunisia to starting over in Cairo, Paris, and London, he captures the excitement of the Arab Spring—a moment when everything seemed possible—only to see those dreams slip away, leaving so many scattered across the world.

But this isn’t just a story of loss. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and the determination to make a difference. While building new lives far from home, this generation holds onto one dream: to return, reclaim their homeland, and finish what they started. A powerful story of hope, perseverance, and the universal longing for belonging.
