13 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 29 DECEMBER 2019 NEWS the crowded detention centre, a Somali boy named Abuba- kar was born, and Mahat was relieved to have succeeded in very risky conditions. Over a year later, Mahat still keeps in touch with the moth- er. She and Abubakar were also rescued by the Lifeline and have since been relocat- ed from Malta to start a new life in Portugal. It is thanks to Mahat that Abubakar and 14 other babies were brought into the world safely, notwith- standing the horrible condi- tions surrounding them. Rescue at sea As time went by, Mahat wor- ried that he would never be freed from detention, but on the night of 20 June, Mahat was placed on board a flimsy boat with around 130 other people. He knew what a great risk leaving itself would be and was fully aware that many people who make the cross- ing do not make it alive. "All the smugglers promise is that they will give you a boat, put you on the sea, and then it is either you die in the sea or you're safe. They do not care." After a night at sea in com- plete darkness, a boat was spotted in the distance. Worried they would be turned back to Libyan shores, where they would face fur- ther violence, there was some panic among the people on the boat. "Some people were not sure what to do. Others wanted to jump in the sea. They were afraid, because if the boat was from Libya, they would be killed." When they discovered that it was in fact a rescue boat, they were overcome with relief and joy. They were then taken on board the Lifeline. Mahat re- members the kindness of the crew, who warmly greeted all people on board and imme- diately provided them with medical attention, water and food. "I feel very grateful that they saved me." With the deterioration of the weather and in the midst of a dispute between Member States on assigning a port for disembarkation, the Lifeline was allowed to dock in Malta on 28th June, on the condi- tion that some of the people on board would be relocated to other EU Member States. "When I arrived on the Life- line ship, I heard about Malta. That was the first time." Since arriving in Malta and being granted Subsidiary Protection, Mahat has been working to rebuild his life. He is burdened by memories of a difficult past, but he is trying to get back on track. He now has a job as a Somali cultural mediator for an or- ganisation that provides ser- vices to refugees and asylum- seekers in Malta. He enjoys this job, which allows him to support other refugees, but his dream is ultimately to further his studies. "I want to become someone known by people, a respected person... like a doctor." This will not be straight- forward for Mahat. Even as a qualified and experienced professional, he will have to start almost from the begin- ning, a stark reality facing most refugees who have had to leave everything behind. At the same time, Mahat maintains his ambition. He has started studying science at Mcast, a higher education institute in Malta, and lives in a shared house with other refugees, where he feels com- fortable yet independent. He spends his free time exploring Valletta and other parts of the island. Over a year after he was res- cued at sea, Mahat has come a long way. Step by step, but not without further obstacles, he is still looking ahead... looking towards his future with opti- mism, hope and determina- tion.
