"My life was fine in Sudan. I could not ask for more," he told the BBC in one of a series of voice and text messages explaining what had happened. Many Syrians fled to Sudan during the civil war.

He knew that he could not find refuge in neighbouring Egypt, as he could not pay for an expensive tourist visa.
