We used to play around and we had everything, everything
We lived close to the beach and we went swimming everyday there
and when we finished swimming we went home, and take the ball out to play, or we bought a ball
we used to buy a bit of everything, and then we went out to play
We bought a float, we bought anything, anything
and we played there
My country is very beautiful, very, very beautiful
and when we left our country it started to be a not so beautiful country
Tell them
Tell them!
My name is Israa
from Syria
Very beautiful
Very beautiful and when we left our country it started to be a not so beautiful one
In my country
I was very interested in doing something
and I achieved my goal and I worked hard
it's about photography
My family, my neighbours, our acquaintances
we used to visit each other on the festivities, on special occasions
we lived a beautiful life
even regarding my workmates
I worked on the pharmaceutical company Medifarm
my workmates and I used to get on really well and we were happy at work
My dream is to become a doctor
and study, and grow and help my family
I don't want all this misfortune
We have been here for 6 months and seriously this can't keep on like this
People has been here for 2 or 3 days and we have been here for 6 months
and the trouble and everything and the expenses…
The truth is that here in Greece we don't have a life
I want to go to Germany, I want to study, I want to live my life
I want to live a good life
and I want to study to become a doctor
that's what I want
but we've been shattered
we've had our lives ruined
our dreams, we have seen nothing
All our dreams are gone
In Athens we only get two metres
and we are 4 people living in two metres
Our situation here in Greece, not only ours, but the one of all the refugees here in Greece
the situation here is very tough and very tiring
We don't feel good here
because Greece isn't supporting the refugees much and they can't help us much
And we truly don't feel good here
I have been here for 9 or 10 months and I am
really tired of this life
And about this camp
it's been about 5 months since we are in this camp
I used to live in another place before
and I can see that people here have a lot of problems
problems with the food
problems with life
Here really everything is going wrong for everyone
Maybe there are 200 o 300 containers here
and in each one there are 8, 6 or 5 people
and no one has a good life
Afghanistan is not safe right now
because everyday, the Taliban, with terrorism in name of Daesh,
attacks Afghanistan
We don't have security there
that's why we came here
to have good security
We don't come here because of money, because of job
we have job in our country, we came here only because of secutiry
I worked in Syria
I had a car there
but I was afraid to go to work
I had a car and I used it to work
and we didn't know which streets we could take or where the next bomb could drop
My siblings feel so bad in Syria
they can't leave because they don't have any money
they are in Syria now
they are in a difficult position
I am worried about them
My mother died in the war
and also the children of my sister died in the war
and also the children of… and my relatives died in the war
everybody has died in the war
I don't have anything in particular to say about my country
it is clear for everyone that in Afghanistan there isn't a good situation and that there is no safety there
I left my country a year ago and I have no clear information about what is happening in my country so far
I only hear the news that say that everyday there are bombings and war
and everyone is fleeing from the country and becoming refugees in European countries
The situation in Syria…
the people who live that situation
is different from the ones who see or talk about it
People watch kids dying every day
and kids under the ground
and they don't feel it, neither does Europe feel a thing for them
Europe doesn't feel
I wish the war ended in Syria and I could go back now
I am now in Greece, let Syria calm down and let me go back
screw Europe and its shit
from Greece directly to Syria
I don't want to go to Germany if the war is over
Life was very beautiful in Syria, in the refugee camp of Yarmouk
our refugee camp was so beautiful for us, the Palestinian refugees in Syria
and, thank God, we all had a very good life
I chose to leave the country where I was born, where I had relationships and studied
after the war began
and after my husband, may he rest in peace, stopped working
and the rentals were too high
and as we had no money to pay for them
or to pay for the residence permits of my children, since we had to renew them every year
so I chose to go away and leave my country for the future of my children
I left, leaving my children and my husband behind to try to get them out of Syria by familiar reunification
but my husband died in the border because of a heart attack
We have too much war
We left our country and some of the people in my family died in the war
and we couldn't live there any longer
We left Syria for our children
There was a lot of war
We were living in bad conditions, concerning money, everything was complicated
There is no way we can live in Syria right now
We were afraid of violence, of bombings, etc.
We feared for our children and that's why we left Syria
and because of war
We have nothing in Syria
we are Kurdish
and we have no rights in Syria
so far we haven't had a Syrian ID
We arrive here and we don't have and ID
I have nothing here
Before, the Syrian government gave my lands to other people
The government took our lands and gave them to them
All the land my grandparents worked stone by stone and piece by piece for a living
were given by the government to arabic families who came from far away
now our land is in their hands and we can't do anything about it
If the country where I used to live was good I wouldn't have come
We are in the dark all the time
without electricity and feeling oppressed
We never have a good day, we fled the war
There is war in Syria, there is war in Iraq and also in Turkey
in our home there is a war going on and bombs are falling
We don't know where to escape
If you are in Europe you should get justice
we came to Europe but we didn't see any justice
We have been living in the streets for 6 months, and under the tents
We hope the doors open to us
The outward journey has been very tough
From Iraq to Turkey I walked for 14 hours through the mountain
All over the mountain there were mines
I arrived to Turkey and after Turkey I went to Mitilini
it was a hard journey
Waves were crashing against our boat
and in that moment I said to myself "I'm not going"
but after that I changed my mind and I said to myself "let's go"
and I stepped on the boat
And, actually, the boat stopped in the middle of the sea
really
Life here is very difficult
No one helps us
and there isn't any organisation to help us
I can't imagine how I crossed this border
because we spent like 18 days in the border between Syria and Turkey
it is very hard and very difficult to cross the border
We spent like 5 hours climbing the mountain
and when the army of Turkey caught us
they told us "get Suri", which is like "go back to Syria"
and we came back and we repeated this trip another day
It was like 9 times
it was very difficult for us
because I came with my mother, she is old, she is 62
and with my son, who is 6 years old
and he always said "mom, I am hungry, I need water, I am tired
someone hold me, I can't walk"
and two sisters, their husbands and their daughters
It's very difficult for us
And when we crossed the border we went from Antioquia to Izmir
and we payed, we gave the mafia a lot of money
My trip cost 5000 euros
I lost all my money in that trip
First we left Syria
we left Syria and we went to Turkey, later in Turkey
we went to meet the smugglers
We went to meet the smuggler everyday
we went back and forth, back and forth
that didn't help us in the end
and we finally went to the plastic boat, and we inflated it, we inflated it
we inflated the boat and we stepped inside
I don't know how long we were in that boat for
I don't know how many hours, I don't know
we stayed there until we got off the boat
For a long time we saw death in our eyes
I was close to losing my wife and my daughter
In fact my wife was pregnant and lost the baby
We went from Antioquia to Izmir and we stayed 3 days there
and we came to Athens in a plastic boat
you could say it was our second journey
the journey of death
If you want to, I can explain you how I came here
We met in Turkey at 6 in the morning
We met 100 people
with children, women and men
we walked for 10-15 minutes
until we reached the spot where the boat was
There was too much weight on the boat
and the engine wasn't working
and we went back to the beach
we changed the motor
and we felt very tired, it was very hard
We had been waiting for 6 hours for the smugglers
and the smugglers left us and they went away
We waited for 4 hours to inflate the boat as the boat had a puncture
After that the motor was fixed by some boys who knew better
It was 12 noon already
in Turkey
The waves gave us a lot of problems that day
Afterwards, we got a call from Germany because the waves weren't good, they were very high
very high and dangerous
and we were arriving at 3 in the afternoon and the waves were going to be too dangerous
They told us "don't go"
but we had to leave, because if not, we'd had to wait for another week
and the waves would be high too
and if we stayed for another week in Izmir
the waves would rise even more that week
given we wouldn't be able to continue until after that week
We'd need more money, because everything is too expensive in Turkey
We left it in God's hands and we left in that very moment
and we were in that boat on the sea for 3 hours
Every 5 minutes, during all those 3 hours, we felt like we were going to die
because the boat was rocking all the time
the water was getting in the boat
and we felt we wouldn't make it to Greece
We all thought we were going to die
and all the kids were hiding and sitting on the floor
they wouldn't dare to lift their head because the sea was terrifying
they couldn't even take a look
so we were forced to leave the children on the floor of the boat so they couldn't see a thing
and we sat higher, over them
but, actually, we were even more frightened than the kids
not frightened for us, but for them
We had many problems during the trip
20 minutes before arriving Chios
the boat had a puncture
because the smugglers in Turkey didn't fix the first one
the boys patched it, but they didn't tell us so we wouldn't back down
But it started to deflate in less than 3 hours
and we thought "that's it, we're done"
There were no Greek nor Turkish coastguards
there was no one to save us
If we're dying, that's it, no one would know
During any other trip, the Greek coastguards would've seen us
and Turkish coastguards too
but we weren't lucky and nobody saw us
the sea was empty, no one around
If the boat had overturned, we'd have drowned
Everyone told me to go to Europe, that the path would be very easy
because Europe is better than Turkey
because we were in Turkey and we were uneasy
Because we are Kurdish and the Turkish government doesn't want the Kurdish
and doesn't give us rights or anything
I used to work in Turkey and nobody payed me because I'm Turkish
After that we went to Greece
we lived for 3 and a half months in the island
and now we've been 2 and a half months here
We got to Athens on the 8th of January
and we stood for more than 20 days in front of the door of a camp
they didn't let us in the camp
they told us they could do nothing for us
and I have 4 kids
and I have a daughter who stayed in Qamishli
she's around 16 years old
and because of the lack of money I couldn't bring her with me
because our situation there wasn't good
she stayed there and we have 4 kids with us now
and we are 6 people, with me and my wife
We spent 20 days next to a camp of the EU
they didn't let us in the camp
and left us outside
under the tents
It was raining very frequently
they gave us old clothes and blankets
and no one helped us
no one helped us
and we didn't know what to do
they gave us the blankets and told us "everything will be alright tomorrow or the day after"
and the organizations do nothing for the refugees
They do nothing
They told us that we had arrived after the Treat so we couldn't have anything
asylum
that they cound't give us a house, some money, a place, they couldn't give us anything
We've been here for a month
under the tent
we have no food as in human food
they don't treat us as human beings
We tell them what we need
and they don't give us a thing
We want this country to open ways for the refugees
we are foreigners here
In this camp we are more than 4000 people piled up
more than 4000 people piled up
Everybody under tents
and the food they give us we can't eat it
Many times
there's lots of food that stays in the car and they don't give it to us
we can't eat this food, but also they won't give it to us
and eventually, when they give us this food
everyone throws it away
The most important thing for them is to receive money
to make money out of us
the most important thing
is that Greek employees get rich out of
the Iraqi, Syrian and all kind of refugees
so they live at the expense of the refugees
The situation inside the camp is like a prison
We have no freedom, we have nothing, it's like a prison
I hope all the people in the world would help out Syrian people to improve
We run away from death
we came to feel comfortable
and right now we are in a prison
Everything is locked up around us
and if you want to go out of the camp the police asks you for the white card
and when you want to get in the police asks you for the white card
this is like if my house wasn't here
The situation is exhausting
generally, everyone feels like this, not just me
but also all the Syrians, Kurds, Arabs, Christians, any group
It's been 9 months since I'm living here and I don't what's going to be next
I contacted a lawyer and the lawyer is really good
and he's helping us, but we may not have the opportunity to leave
We are scared of not being accepted but we may be accepted
We feel stressed out, too stressed
And we are stressed also because maybe we won't be able to leave with our children
I feel sorrow for that
and my family wakes up under stress and goes to sleep tense
We feel great stress out of staying in Greece
because we don't have the basic necessities here, if we stay in Greece
we don't have a home, we don't have money, we don't have a place to live
At all, nothing at all
Before coming to Europe, in Afghanistan, I was feeling scared
I felt like "what will happen?" or "what's gonna be my future?"
I thought about it all the time
and I thought that each country knows that Afghanistan isn't in a good situation now
We didn't have good feelings so we came here
and now it's been 10 months since we came
and in these 10 months I haven't had a good day
and that's why I'm thinking all the time about moving to another country
I really don't feel good living here
The refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and Iran are not different
but we can see some differences
because in European countries, Arab and Syrian, Iraqi and other foreigners, they go first
and Afghan, Iranian and Pakistani are in a second place
in the first place there's Arab, Iraqi and Syrian
there's a difference
We left Syria because we wanted to reunite with my brother
I thought that the path wouldn't be so tiring and tough and that we wouldn't waste all this time
and now it's been a year since we're here
and we don't know for how long we'll stay here, only God knows
If we hadn't wasted all this time I'd be in school now
and I'd have my ID in Germany
We started with the papers of my family...
We'd be reunited with our family in Germany
We delayed too much
we delayed a year
I think Europe is a big lie
Before we heard about Europe and it was like heaven
but now, of course not
No, no, no
Syria, before the war, was a perfect country
but, you know, we run away from war
we need a safe country for us
for my children
we need education for our children
because… not the army, but the terrorism destroyed everything in Syria
and I couldn't take my son to school
and there were rockets above my head
or car bombs or something like this
it's very hard for us
We took the decision with my family
we need to go to Europe
to, maybe, look for a safe country
But when we came, they're very…
I'm sorry for this, but
they're very rude with us
because our application is very slow
we spend like 4 months here and we didn't take an interview
When I came to Europe, I believed that it would be a nice life
and we felt so exhausted during the journey
and everyone telling us that it would only take us 2 or 3 days to get to Europe
and now we've been in Greece for 6 months and it's so terrible
this isn't life, Greece isn't life
Europe was supposed to be all freedom
the best of the best in education
We came here and been 10 months already
and I registered one of my kids in school
and now I have two daughters unschooled
because a couple of Greek secretaries did something wrong with the application
and changed the age of the oldest of my kids to 5 years old
That's what I found out about Europe
that Europe is a failure
Europe is very filthy
more than filthy
All Greece is like a prison for me
Unfortunately we're stuck in Greece
Fuck Europe
that's what I mean
I decided to continue because the situation was very bad in Greece
and I decided with my friend and wife to continue to Serbia and Hungary
When we arrived to Serbia
the manager of the camp sent our list to the government
don't know if the Serbian or the Hungarian
and after a month they told us which number we had on the list
For example, on the list I was the 61st
After 9 months, the Subotica's administration called our manager
and told him "send these people to Subotica to go inside Hungary legally"
In Serbia we stayed about 9 months
waiting for our list
and after 9 months we went to a closed camp, or jail
we call this a "jail" but it's a closed camp
We stayed in the closed camp about 2 weeks
and after 2 weeks they sent us to an open camp
this camp is near the Slovakian border
and we are waiting for the documents from the Hungarian Republic
Illegally… I tried once
it was 5 months ago, with Pakistani smugglers
It was near Subotica and the police caught us
We were 40 people
35 people went to Hungary
we were 5 and the police caught us and started beating us
we stayed under the rain from 12 at night until 4 in the morning
They had a police dog
they had this dog and it had something made of iron in its mouth
and they let this dog scratch us and play with us
They were very, very bad, the police
I tried… because it's long time we're waiting in Serbia
I tried once and after this time, I finished
You know? Our life is not safe in the jungle
Here, anytime we sleep in the jungle
last night we saw a big, big snake
and, you know, if this snake bites you, you're dead
Life here is not safe
and we send our request to all the governments to please open the borders
Many times, many people
in "The Game" they go to Hungary
but the police caught them
and dogs
and tell the people to sit down
and they sometimes they sepatare us
they separate us in different police styles
then they sometimes kick us
some people have their fingers broken
by the police
Hello, my name is Rouhaifa Ibrahim Sleiman
I'm 34 and I was born in Syria, in Damascus
In fact, I'm one of the refugees fleeing to Europe illegally
and now I'm in Germany looking for asylum
And thanks God I have a residence permit of 3 years and my kids are with me
There's a lot of Arab people here
many of which need someone to translate for them or help them
I'd like to continue my studies
learn the language
and also I'd like to study nursing, learn to drive
and I'd like for my kids to study too, that they have the best education
because I want them to have a good life and a good job
My name is Khadija, I'm 39 years old and I'm from Syria
I've been living in Denmark for 3 years
I'm a refugee
I don't like to say "refugee" though
but I'm a refugee
I like the European people
and we are beautiful people, but there are discrepancies
we have different mentalities
And if they merge, if knowledge merges, progress, progress, progress always comes up
But we have to accept European mentality
and Europeans have to accept our mentality in order to progress together
But if they don't accept us and we don't accept them, conflict appears
My name is Samer, I'm a Kurdish from Qamishli, Syria
I'm in Switzerland now
for 2 years now, in the Valais' canton
Honestly, it's a feeling one cannot explain
it's very hard
everyday I feel far away from my country, I miss it everyday
I miss my friends, my beloved ones, specially my father and my mother
it's a feeling that can't be explained, and which is very hard to cope with
It's a feeling I can't explain, not only me, any person who left Syria
will miss their country, they would like to visit Syria and they will love Syria
I arrived to Europe a week before the 21st of September
I arrived a week before the 21st of September
The first country I arrived to in Europe was Greece
I live in Belgium, in the city of Amberes
My feelings now are the feelings of someone who lives far away from their friends and family
I have very, very bad feelings
I can't explain what I feel
What can I say? What can I explain?
You can't understand my situation unless you are in my situation
No one can feel what I feel, I mean
you wake up in the morning, it's only you at home, alone
you feel lonely, alone in the world and apart from it
if you have many people around you and friends and popularity
and time for a job and school
even if you have all of it you would feel lonely
There is a huge difference between how I lived before and how I feel now
When I used to live there I would get up in the morning and I would see my mother and my father and my brother
I smiled at them and they smiled back at me
now I feel dead
but death is underground and I am above it
We hope for the European countries to open the route
because we don't want European people to disapprove of us
we don't want to disapprove of them and we want them to open the way
to get there
to find a solution for us
If someday I am in a safe place
I want to be a social worker
because I need to help the refugees
because I am a refugee
Find the solution of all this
you give me shelter and help me, but you also look for a solution for those people who can't come and stay in my country
First look for a solution for my country and then think about helping the refugees in your country
If you find an answer for my country, you automatically will find a solution for this
In the future, I only want to be comfortable
we don't want a war again, we want to live without fights
just feel comfortable
Regarding my children, I only want to meet them again
just that
About the future, my only desire is that my daughter achieves her goals
Our hearts and minds are broken and depressed
In the future, I want a beautiful life
considering that we have seen nothing in this life
I want to study, I want to live my life, I want to study, I want to be someone
My dreams are destroyed
Daesh destroyed our dreams
All of my dreams are destroyed
I want to continue with my education
I want to learn something
I want to do sport, because here I am jobless right now
I don't have school, I don't have anything
I would like to be, I wish I could just for an hour become
a bird
so I could fly, meet my family, and see my home
