Khaled, whose real name is something else, grew up in a vulnerable area and, according to him, the family only had enough money for food and rent. Back then it was easy to get caught up in a life where you can make quick money.
– All my friends did that, we earned our own money, he says.
The former friends have disappeared from Sweden, says Khaled. Some have died as a result of the conflict and others have fled.
In the video above, Khaled talks about gang life and how difficult it is to find a way out.
