He said, “I was born in the centre of ongoing war in Baghdad, Iraq in ’91 under a table in a British Red Cross building with no electricity, gas or water.
” I was a refugee at four months old and immigrant before my 1st birthday.
“Now I’m a Clinical Neuroscience PhD hoping to use research to do good.”
The 27-year-old immigrant added that he was rejected by the United States, hence his decision to migrate to Norway.
