- “I don’t think someone who travels all this way here, risking his own life, comes to cause problems. [He] is going to a country that recognizes his identity, humanity, his life and makes him feel he is a human being with rights.

In our countries, rights were lost in the war. Humanity is lost. There are killings, beheadings, stealing, bribery, embezzlement of public money, nothing is left.

We are looking for a country where there is a law that protects us, in order to live normal lives like anyone else in that country.”

There are many things we need to learn based on the asylum they give us. We are obliged [to learn]. There is no option. We have to start learning the culture and laws.

I wish these laws apply to us not only in Europe but in the whole world. I wish for such laws to be followed in our countries instead of the old traditional tribal laws.”

- “So, what do you say to those who think that you will arrive in Europe and you will impose your traditions on them?”

- “We are here to help and participate in their societies. We will give them the knowledge we have from our countries and add to theirs.

Unfortunately, all the efforts to ensure right of asylum to every person fearing persecution have been forestalled by states. In the last few years U.S.A, Australia, Germany, France and other European countries to name a few, are increasingly putting into practice restrictive asylum policies in order to deter and to prevent asylum-seekers from seeking refuge in their territory.

Trump has turned down every opportunity to take back his remarks regarding Mexican immigrants. Instead every time he talks about these issues they have only grown worse and more out of control.

Most likely, ones favorite hero novel would follow the hero’s journey which is the cycle of the hero’s adventure involving different archetypes. A hero novel does not necessarily have to involve supernatural powers and the hero does not necessarily have to save the world; a hero can go through the hero’s journey to save one person or to reveal a hidden truth.
