Abstract: Abstract This chapter reports the story of Jamshed, a teenaged Afghan refugee, who fled from intensified insecurity in the last period of the war in Afghanistan. As the eldest son of his family, he managed to flee through the coordination of smugglers who forced him to leave with very short notice. In France, he managed to obtain a business license and has opened a grocery store, which he has financed with his own savings.
