I think it’s because in Europe, after exceeding a certain timeline of illegal stay in Europe you are granted residency permit (if you don’t get caught in the 10 year time period of course) Don’t quote me on this this could be completely made up but i heard reports like this

Wait, did Alfreds fake mom just reveal she wasn’t his mom just to prevent him from getting inheritance so she could have it for herself?
Most likely yea
@The 21 Year Old Boomer Well, yes, but his father was dead anyways, so it's not like he could be punished even more
It's most likely not. Check Atrocity Guide for more details. But basically he lied about his mom being a step mom thanks to developing a persona
@MinecraftPro15 ideally, yes. Islam has extremely thorough laws on inheritance, and the wife, daughter, and even mother of a deceased man get a large part of it. The largest part, however, is supposed to go to the children, if any. So if he was an only child but didn't have a citizenship, it could have been a ploy by his stepmom to get his inheritance
@@ezzeldinmohd6740 wow what an incredibly incorrect statement

I got stuck for 35 hours in airport. I moved to argentina, and after a year decided to go back home. When I get to the airport turns out my immigration papers had expired the day before and I didn’t know (I thought I still had 5 more days) and I got stuck there because the place that dealt with that was closed until monday or something. Bureaucracy can get reeeally annoying. I cant even imagine what it was like for him all those years because for me those hours were complete hell
This makes me happy that I live in Germany. At least I don't generally need immigration papers for anything.
Maddinhpws really? Even if you go somewhere and stay there for like a year? Because see I live in brazil and we have a free passing trade with Argentina so you can travel between countries freely and dont need a passport to go there, but if you want to stay for a extended period you need to get immigration documents. I actually have european citizenship because my family is from spain so this would actually come in hand for me if you can just live anywhere in there
@@BirdSeedForSpeed Dunno depends on the country. But if you are a spanish citizen you can at least live in the entire EEA without need for immigration documents.

I’ll bet he got sick of that airline food
kremit the frog not if he got used to it
He wasn't on a plane so why would he have airline food
You know there's dozens of well known chain restaurants in any large airport, eh?
Darkedor this is such a bs excuse that airlines make for their badly prepared food. The air pressure (which is supposedly what affects our taste) in a plane cabin is equivalent to between about 2000-2700m meters high. Anyone who has eaten in the mountains (eg 20 million people who live in Mexico city) will tell you that there’s literally no noticeable difference in how food tastes at these altitudes. So airlines need to start making better food instead of making excuses.
@@TimKhalikov And thats where your wrong. planes dont fly at 2000-2700m high. thats very low, not even for regional flights. They fly at 37000/35000 ft, which equals to 11000 m, so your argument dosent make sense.
3:40 So after 10 years of living at an airport, he refuses to sign papers just because they listed him as Iranian? I think that man never actually wanted to leave that airport.
no probably cuz of his mom and the fact that he wanted to overthrow the government
i mean, would you?

@@wakakabravo7998 Source? Last news I've read said, he was arrested. There is no social media presence since then.
Hassan Al Kontar case is not even special like Alfred. Hassan is ego and stupid. I dont care if my word choices are rude. He bought a ticket to transit in KL. And in KLIA, he decided not to board the next flight that he should be taking. Some people said, he should fly to Sydney. But others said to Auckland. Lets just say, nobody knows. He applied for refugee status. And he was offered help from the Malaysian govt, Indonesian govt, Australian govt and even French govt. He turned all of them down. He ONLY WANTS refugee status to live and stay in Canada. So he is being an idiot. Total idiot to be honest. And he made it sounds like Malaysia is a bad country. And everyone sympathise him without knowing the true story. Canadian embassy in Malaysia said, it will take at least 9 months to process his refugee status because he 'is currently staying in a country that is considered peaceful and have no imminent threat in Malaysia'. So he made himself a laughing stock around the world. He turned Malaysia down and the Malaysian authority have no other choices but to deport him back to Syria. And yes, he refused to be sent to Australia.
He is lucky for doing it in Malaysia. If he commit such childish in my home country, Singapore authority wouldve sent him back in less than a week.

Here's a thought: Maybe the UN should create a sort of meta-state that everyone is automatically a citizen of. If you lose your citizenship of everywhere else, you can always put "Planet Earth" as a last-resort and not have to go through the bureaucratic nonsense of being stateless this guy did.

hugolafhugolaf did you not watch the video? Lmfaooo. The whole point is that he didn’t agree with Iran, but the only offers Belgium and France gave him came at the expense of being called Iranian.
I worked as a contractor for a state department that dealt with issuing state drivers licenses and state IDs. There were a couple of that I met that were in a Catch-22 of not having the proper documents to prove they were who they said they were and since that could not get the proper documents to prove their identity because they had no ID.

I was looking for this comment :). And indeed, calling Belgium Francelands or France lite is terrible unfair to my Flemish speaking brothers and sisters in the North, (not to mention that French speaking Belgians really DO NOT identify as Frenchies, much to the contrary).
To be honest, it's not like we want belgium in france either.
South Netherlands
Ik was op zoek naar zo'n commentaar
And now he died in the same airport…
The Francerlands.

Every Dutch and French person knows Belgium is secretly a fake country. It is indeed just the Francerlands, even though the Belgians deny it.
@@henkhenksen8454I'm French and I think Belgium is an actual country. They have a very rich history and one of the main centers of european union(in Bruxelles)
I feel like at a certain point he just likes mooching off of the situation. That’s why he didn’t sign the papers to be allowed to stay in France, not because he didn’t want to be identified as Iranian.
Coincidence.
He really was not mentally well by the end. He was conditioned to and felt safe in the airport. And after his book came out he had cash. Nobody accused him of mooching off the situation, they were concerned about him. He actually thought he was British (Scottish) at one point. And, a few times his family actually visited him in the airport, and he acted as if he had never met them before! His mum was distraught about it.
Why couldn't he become uk citizen
@@Davey-Boyd he also had a brain tumor, could have contributed
@@odeswarms I didn't know that
4:35 smooth
The first few minutes I was immediately reminded of the Terminal. The stories were so similar. Then you mentioned that the movie was loosely based on this guys story. Well the experience.
That's really interesting to know where the movie was inspired from.
A really great movie that is. It's underatted .
he died yesterday bc of a heart attack
Me :Alexa what nationality is alfred?
Alexa: please ask me after 18 years because I need time to think about it.
*Taxi Driver Who Went to Pick Him Up from the Airport years ago:* "Well, I'll give him another 20 minutes. But that's it."
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂
Sir Alfred passed away today 🙁
"The Terminal" was a surprisingly good movie - but all Tom Hanks movies are.
No, it was terrible and Tom Hanks played a "bumbling immigrant" man of no particular nation. It was really bad on Spielberg and Hanks.
Sounds about right considering the amount of strikes here in France.
Did you watch the video? Or did you just see "Paris" and pick from your crib sheet of tedious stereotypes jokes?
@@Jayfive276 Yes I watched the video. I know it's about administrative issues, which is quite fitting since it's France.
Also I'm French so I'll mock myself as much as I want, thank you. It's all just fun banter so maybe we should stop taking ourselves so seriously?
@@ThisisBarris It was kind of an easy one. Too easy to be really funny.
This is Barris! That is why France is great
Lol, stereotype. Is a stereotype still a stereotype if it’s true? You can look at the numbers, in France people just strike more and longer
Imagine how scared you'd be stuck in an airport during the turn of the century, with Y2K looming.
Sadly sir Alfred died on November 12th, 2022 we lost a real one guys
