A TEEN migrant who tried 100 times to get to Britain vowed he can never be stopped — moments before dodging cops and jumping on to a boat on a French beach.
I watched Abdul Usman — who claims to be 17 — evade police as they fired tear gas and knifed a “taxi boat” about to sail off.

But the youth from Sudan clambered on to a second crammed rubber craft which swept him towards the UK from Gravelines, near Dunkirk.
Before making Friday’s treacherous Channel journey, he told me: “I’ll keep trying again and again like I have for so long. I’ve tried at least 100 times. Never give up. That’s what I say.”
Asked if he knew about the UK Rwanda plan and how he could end up in the African country, Abdul insisted: “Nothing will stop me. I will get to England.
“I don’t want to be sent to Rwanda but I don’t fear going there.
“Nowhere can be worse than here.”
Abdul — who says his mum is in the UK — pointed out to sea and declared: “That’s my route to freedom. I’ll try every day. I don’t care if the police keep trying to stop us and if the bad men attack me for not having money to pay them.
“I want to leave France because there’s no life here. They don’t care about us.”
Abdul said he had spent seven months in a tent in a nearby “jungle” migrants camp at Loon-Plage.
Iranian migrant Armin Rezaie said at the camp: “We’re looking for a better life and we thought we could get it in Britain.
“But if they’re going to send us to Rwanda I may stay in France.”
