The sight of a train only brings pain and sadness to Arben Sulejmani as he sees the tired, hungry, freezing and fearful faces of the thousands of refugees who throng the Macedonian-Serbian border daily.

Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees are flooding into Tabanovce, a village in the north of the Republic of Macedonia in four, sometimes five, train-loads full of people, with each train carrying between 600 and 800 people.
