Ahmad Alhamada welcomed Euronews in his flat in Ghent, Belgium. Upon our arrival, we were presented with a steaming pot of tea, sliced watermelon and cashew nuts, all laid out on a coffee table in his apartment's living room.
Originally from Idlib in northwestern Syria, Ahmad fled the country in 2012 following the crackdown on anti-regime protests, during the reign of the country's strongman President Bashar al-Assad.
