Contents/Summary
- Summary
- One day Sabri, Saliha’s son, left abruptly for Syria. Three months later, Saliha, her husband, and her children learnt of his death, he was only nineteen. In the face of this difficult mourning, Saliha decides not to stay silent and meets other parents whose children left for Syria. Some of them are dead, some others are still alive and somehow manage to stay in contact with their families back home. Together they try to understand where this sudden radicalization comes from and how their children could be enlisted by the jihadist networks so rapidly. From the Belgian parliament to the youths whom she meets in schools, Saliha endeavors to make things happen by exposing the phenomenon of radicalization, the action of the recruiters and the fragility on which it is founded.
