Shakally, a student aiming for a dentistry doctorate, discusses risking his life for Syria's protests amid a five-year conflict that has killed over 250,000 and driven a global refugee crisis. He trained in burning tires to shroud protests and faced brutal arrest, fearing for his family’s safety as he fled.
The article details rising international enrollment in Iowa colleges with 4 041 students in fall 2015, including 2 percent growth and representation from 91 countries. It also follows Shakally, a Syrian refugee in Des Moines, his family’s torture, flight to Egypt, asylum pursuit, and current life in the United States while aiming for dentistry and citizenship.
