Episode 3 – Yusuff's assignment

Alyom - The Podcast

"Why is nothing happening, although you've proved that Assad attacked us with toxic gas?", Yussuf asks us via voicemail. We're also left wondering: Why is nobody doing anything? Why is the West just watching – and then turning away again? In Episode 3, in search of answers to these questions, we visit, among other places, the Spiez Laboratory in Switzerland, where samples from the 2013 poison gas attacks on Ghouta were examined. And we research the links between German companies and Syrian toxic gas. Why the international community does nothing. What other option is there but to flee. Yussuf's cousin Turki fled, to Germany. How are he and his wife experiencing the war from a distance? The fate of Yussuf's family is also our responsibility: Don't forget us! Because words alone aren't enough, we consider how else we can help.
