Political Instability

Because I am almost fourteen and the oldest son, I am responsible for our family.

The first day I came to Italy, I had a friend, an Italian friend.

Our life was very good. We were very comfortable and happy.

I graduated with a degree in journalism and joined the Afghan police force.

We decided to leave and sold everything we had; there is no way back.

It gives me a bad feeling … that I am safe and my friends are still in trouble.

We left Iran because we are Afghans.

I hope I can find a good life and that I can continue in my profession.

ISIS began invading our village on the first day of the revolution.

The journey is very, very risky. Many people died — a lot.

God knows what I am, so He will help me.

I want to be able to say, “This is MY house! We can stay forever here and nobody will tell me to go.”

In order to save our family, we were obliged to leave our country.

With the annexation of Crimea, there was a great deal of fear and fighting. Vitalii and Lidiia wanted a better life for their children.

We want to be somewhere that is far from danger, somewhere safe.

Wife, mother of three. Now a refugee seeking a better future for her family.

She was targeted by the Taliban for teaching school.

I just want to live in a safe place where everyone can live in peace.

Mahommad is five-years-old and just moved here.

Tiba exudes joy.
