OMG! So, it took them ("Ash and his partner," you write) the rest of November (from the 11th on), all of Dec., all of Jan., and until the 11th of Feb. As I see it, that's THREE FULL MONTHS of travel.
OMG! Gay men ("these two lads," you write) escaping that Islamic hell-hole. How they did it will probably need to be a secret forever since their "enablers" would be found given any clues as to their (the enablers') identitites and physically tortured, probably until dead. Even a description of the crossings at a unguarded location would reveal those locations which would no longer be unguarded. Etc.
Maybe there were bribed officials. Maybe there were friendly officials, but once discovered, they would suffer a "fate worse than death" and would be lost to anyone else trying to leave.
I hope "these two lads" approach Gay organizations in the Netherlands for help. Maybe even something comparable to the USA's Federal witness protection program. On second thought, probably go directly to the Netherlands' government, asking for political asylum. (There might be ..... moles ... plants ... call them what you will... in such organizations.) Ash has always struck me as level-headed and well aware of the dangers in what he did, escpecially the need for secrecy and planning; planning down to the last grain of sand on their journey. (Bless YOU, Phoenix, but "Ash and his partner" and "these two lads" when taken together spell gay. That's the kind of secrecy Ash needs to maintain.)
Congratulations! Well done! And thank you, Phoenix, for helping them at quite a cost to you. <NO snark intended. Please take none.>
Just three letters: OMG!
