Janjawid attack Darfur

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:49:35 +0000

video uploaded from my mobile phone, sorry for poor quality, original oil painting entitled: “Janjaweed attack Darfur”, as a tribute to the victims. Janjawid means “devil on horse”.

Fighting between pro-government militias and rebels in Darfur has led to the deaths of more than 200,000 people and displaced 2.5 million since February 2003. Most of the displaced people remain in Darfur, but the UN estimates that 236,000 fled to Chad. Tens of thousands of other asylum seekers have sought refuge in Egypt.

American Purgatory: Political asylum in the age of terrorism
http://www.americanpurgatory.org
Each year thousands of people arrive in the United States seeking refuge from violence and persecution in their home countries. American Purgatory, an audio documentary, portrays their experiences applying for asylum. It’s a process that is necessarily rigorous, but for those going through it, it can seem like a contradiction to their vision of the US: more than heaven–a purgatory of sorts.

Palestinian refugees in Iceland

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:11:34 +0000

Many Palestinians living in Iraq were forced to flee to refugee camps after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. They still live in desperate conditions on the Iraq-Syrian border, unable to return to Baghdad or flee to neighbouring countries. Some, however, have found asylum elsewhere in countries far from home indeed, as far as Iceland.
