Unfortunately yes, you did read that correctly. Sam, a somewhat timid and reserved 19 year old, is standing up for what he feels is right. He has decided enough is enough and it’s time that he joined the rebel forces on the front line in the Libyan Desert.

In a thick London accent full of glottal stops and double negatives like “innit” for example, the young crusader explained his reasoning:

I just couldn’t sit there and watch the news, I was going mad. I felt I had to do something, you know whatta mean?

After seeking his parents’ approval, the football mad teen that grew up not speaking a word of Arabic, has joined a middle-aged businessman and an older doctor in Egypt.

I just hope they show me how to use a gun, I have no idea how to use a gun. My only experience with a gun has been on a Wii.

Sam stated, letting out a giggle.

We wish him and the other crusaders well in their humanitarian efforts.
