Refugee from Syria becomes mayor of German town after escaping war

As a refugee from Syria who arrived in Germany in 2015, Ryyan Alshebl has secured a remarkable victory by winning a mayoral election in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Running as an independent candidate in the municipality of Ostelsheim, Alshebl clinched 55.41% of the votes on Sunday, triumphing over two German opponents, Marco Strauss and Mathias Fey.

This remarkable win was celebrated by locals as Alshebl, aged 29, expressed his gratitude for the support, calling the victory “sensational.” The win signifies a significant shift towards open-mindedness and diversity. This is especially noteworthy for Ostelsheim, a conservative rural area that has set an inspiring example for the rest of Germany.

The newly elected mayor’s victory marks a historic moment in Baden-Württemberg as the first man of Syrian descent to hold such an office. Alshebl’s mother in Syria, upon hearing the news, was overwhelmed with joy. Members of the community have embraced Alshebl, expressing their contentment with his election.

Despite widespread support, a minority of far-right individuals have displayed hostility towards Alshebl during his campaign. However, the young politician remains undeterred and committed to serving the community that has placed its trust in him.

With a background as a schoolteacher and agricultural engineer in Syria, Alshebl’s life took a drastic turn due to the civil unrest in his home country, leading him to seek refuge in Europe. After arriving in Germany, he quickly integrated into the community and has now secured a promising future as a mayor.
