Refugee in Germany since September 2020, Sayed Sadaat takes German lessons and delivers meals by bike on behalf of the Lieferando company in the city of Leipzig.
Nothing predestined him to do this job, however: a graduate in information technology and telecommunications, Sayed Sadaat was Minister of Communication for the Afghan government for two years, until 2018.
“Everyone needs to work!
If you have to pay rent, need money to buy food and shelter, then you have to work.
Just because you were a minister doesn't mean you shouldn't work and do nothing, ”he told Reuters.
Despite his diplomas, Sayed Sadaat did not find a job commensurate with his experience.
“It doesn't matter,” he said.
I was a minister in the service of the people, and now I am a delivery man, always in the service of the people.
"
In German until the end of the day, he gets on his bike for six hours of delivery each day, with a lot of pride: "I could have been one of those corrupt ministers, I could have won millions. dollars, buy buildings here, hotels in Dubai and I wouldn't have needed to work. But I am proud, my soul is at peace and I don't have to feel guilty about anything. "
