- Summary
- ‘A tree does not move unless there is wind' is an Afghan proverb which, roughly translated, means ‘there is no smoke without fire', or ‘nothing happens without a reason'. The proverb provides an appropriate title for a report that tries to explain why significant numbers of Afghan children are making the difficult and dangerous journey to Europe, unaccompanied by their parent
