The atmosphere in the camp this morning was tense, Aaban says. The police, he adds, were on high alert and wouldn’t let anyone leave the camp. “They want to blame the Paris attacks on refugees,” says Aaban. “But no one knows what really happened.”

Refugees across Europe say they are feeling reverberations from the attack. “Frankly, last night was…awful,” Khaled Kheet, 31, a Syrian refugee living in the Netherlands, says over the chat app Whatsapp. “I was sad about those innocent people who were killed. But today is different because most people are looking at Arabs and Muslims as if they are murderers. Can you imagine people looking at you as a murderer while you are innocent?”

Kheet expresses hope and doubt that one of the attackers was indeed Syrian. “If they find a Syrian passport that doesn’t mean that who did that is Syrian,” he says. But he concedes that it ultimately doesn’t matter. “European people’s opinion will change anyway,” he says. “We Muslims know that Europe before November 13 is not the Europe after that date.”
