Refugees are all those people who have been forced to free their country because of wars, persecution, human rights violations, inequality, poverty or climate change.
00:00:00
All people feeling for their country are looking for a better life and a safer place, where there is peace and better opportunities.
00:00:14
Currently Syria is the country in the world where the largest number of refugees comes from.
00:00:22
Almost 5 million people have left the borders of a war that lasts more than six years. A conflict that was born with the intentions of overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad in a peaceful way and that has been taking things from another era.
00:00:28
After exploding what was apparently a civil war between the Assad supporters and their opponents,
00:00:44
the international conflict has been adding international actors who have been supported by different sides in their ways.
00:00:51
The bombing by the USA in response to the chemical attack by the Syrian government is a new chapter in a conflict that seems to have no solutions.
00:00:59
The Syrian crisis has become the biggest humanitarian emergency of our time. According to the High Commissioner of the UN for Refugees, the suffering of those who decide to go into exile does not end at the border but takes other forms.
00:01:10
The cause of the exodus of the Syrian refugees is a revolution that continues to this day.
00:01:27
Although this term is often used in reference to Syria, and we are referring to them today,
00:01:35
the Syrians are not the only people who have had to flee their country.
00:01:41
Millions of people from dozens of countries around the world today have refugee status.
00:01:45
Since 2015, 65.3 million people have had to flee their homes.
00:01:51
It is the worst refugee data since the World War II and the numbers are growing.
00:01:58
There are currently nine humanitarian emergencies from which most of the refugees in the world come concentrated in two regions.
00:02:04
In the Middle East, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
00:02:12
and Sub-Saharan Africa, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mali.
00:02:17
The main causes of segregation in Syria are, for conflict, 65 million people have been forced to leave their homes to persecution,
00:02:30
conflicts which prove violence or violation of the human rights.
00:02:41
Moreover, their extrinsic attitude to employment and work
00:02:45
are forcing many Syrians to attempt jobs in precarious or exploitative conditions.
00:02:50
Many children have left school to work and help the other families financially.
00:02:55
The helps are increasingly more scarce.
00:03:01
Humanitarian organizations have been responding to these emergencies
00:03:04
of the Syrian exile. Over time, the funds to deal with the crisis have been increasing,
00:03:09
while the needs of the refugees have been increasing. The lack of funds has forced them
00:03:16
to reduce the food ratios and make difficult decisions about who to give help. More than
00:03:21
More than half of the chronically ill people cannot have access to the medicines.
00:03:28
Another cause is the little educational opportunities.
00:03:38
The future of more than one million Syrian children has been left in limbo because of the difficulties they face in accessing the education system.
00:03:44
Some school age children are not receiving formal education. And finally, the obstacles to renew residence permits. Refugees must pay $2,000 to renew their residence, permit an access to the asylum system and increasingly complete it for them.
00:03:55
Many Syrians fear being arrested or detained and feel vulnerable because their visas have expired.
00:04:16
After this brief introduction to the theme, today we are going to talk about one of the many routes the refugees who escaped from Syria take to get to Berlin.
00:04:23
They go with the hope of having a better life and we will narrate the different phases of the trip,
00:04:35
as well as the difficulties that a group of refugees who are no longer afraid of dying and risking their lives
00:04:45
screaming from birds that are not often shipwrecked.
00:04:52
This group of refugees has had to flee their country because of the war.
00:04:56
Refugees are all those people who have been forced to flee their country.
00:05:03
How refugees come and difficulties to travel to their destination.
00:05:08
As there are no safe or legal ways to enter, they risk their lives and those of their families
00:05:12
in search of a better future, far from the wars and poverty that forces them to flee.
00:05:18
The journey by road doesn't take more than three hours,
00:05:24
but sometimes the Syrians must wait for a long time until all the buses are full to travel by caravan.
00:05:28
The only short way is to arrive by road to Lebanon and then by boat to the coast of Turkey and from there to Europe.
00:05:36
The families pay a part for the ferry and another part for the mafias
00:05:46
to plot them illegally in precarious boats from the darkest beaches to the Greek islands.
00:05:51
So, the trip starts from Damascus, Syria.
00:05:59
Here begins a long journey for thousands of Syrians fleeing the civil war
00:06:03
that their country has been suffering for five years,
00:06:08
where the Islamic State is gaining positions.
00:06:13
They go to the rich European countries in search of a better life, without knowing very well what they are going to do in the future.
00:06:17
Al-Hasak, Syria. It is another refugee outpost where they unit with refugees from Damascus.
00:06:27
From there, they go to the border with Turkey.
00:06:33
Al-Kakil, Turkey. It is the border city between Syria and Turkey, very close to Al-Hasak.
00:06:37
It is one of the first steps outside of Syria and from this point they cross the whole country towards the port of Bodrum.
00:06:42
Bodrum, Turkey. First stop of your journey.
00:06:52
Once in Turkey, the refugees head to the port closest to Greece.
00:06:56
It is an area of human trafficking, where refugees are disabled and robbed.
00:07:00
From there they set sail for the small Greek island Kos to reach Athens.
00:07:06
Kos, Greece. The refugees for the first time step on European territory. Kos is a very small Greek island, close to Tartus.
00:07:13
Kos, Greece. The refugees for the first time step on European territory. Kos is a very small Greek island, close to Tartus.
00:07:23
From there, they will be transferred to the capital Athens, Athens, Greece.
00:07:31
Once arrived in Athens, the refugees have already reached their main objective, which is to reach Europe.
00:07:36
Although, its journey continues towards the heart of Europe, where one of the richest countries that can ensure a better life.
00:07:44
Eidomene, Greece. It is a border city between Greece and Macedonia. The refugees cross the borders on each direction of Serbia. There are crowds of people in the border as there is a lot of tension to cross it.
00:07:54
After crossing the border with Greece, the police retrace their passage.
00:08:11
The refugees go to Gjeverlinja, where they take a train that will take them crossing
00:08:20
Macedonia to the border with Serbia.
00:08:27
So Preservo Serbia.
00:08:31
It is a city where refugees are transferred to a refugee camp, where they rest and recover
00:08:32
their strength to follow the road, by balls or on foot, to Serbian capital, Belgrade, Serbia.
00:08:39
They encounter traffickers who try to decide by telling them that the road is safe to take
00:08:47
advantage of them, so from there they go to Hungary. Rostke, Hungary, borders Serbia. Many of them
00:08:54
manage to cross it and continue on their way to Budapest, but others may die in the attempt
00:09:04
either due to various causes such as hunger or fatigue. Budapest, Hungary. Once arrived in the
00:09:11
Hungarian capital, the refugees are concentrated in the train station and go, decided by the
00:09:20
Hungarian authorities to refugee camps resting in cities instead of heading to Austria.
00:09:28
What is the next destination? Vienna, Austria. Many refugees drive to travel to Austria on foot.
00:09:35
On the outskirts of Vienna, many of them camp in tents. Also, for many of them, Germany is the
00:09:44
final destination some decide to stay so manage germany once in germany many of the refugees
00:09:51
decide to stay in manage the first important city of the country there they receive a very good
00:09:58
reception with the germans in refugee camps very well prepared to welcome them berlin germany
00:10:07
is the final destination of most refugees. They have reached their final goal and here they will
00:10:15
try a better life away from their homes and from work. The massive reception of refugees overflows
00:10:21
the resources of the German capital. Once refugees arrive in Berlin they have to live for months in
00:10:29
emergency centers with no option to a house. Thousands of asylum seekers must reside in
00:10:36
improvised facilities as the administration doesn't care to find them accommodation an example
00:10:42
the turani family was forced to live in a shelter with many others asylum seekers others are in a
00:10:49
house that they will have to leave because the berlin administration paid rent for apartment
00:10:57
to some refugees who didn't have a place in the authorised shelter but due to a new law,
00:11:04
eight months after their arrival in Germany, they are forced to live in emergency facilities.
00:11:15
As a result, thousands of refugees see as the only option to reside in hostels,
00:11:21
sport courts abandoned airports and abandoned malls although these spaces were born as temporary
00:11:28
residents they have end up being the usual home for thousands of them the year the emergency
00:11:37
shelters are designed for the first three months after arrival the german media have reported
00:11:44
fights rapes abuses and other problems of coexistence in emergency shelters the
00:11:51
The mixture of nationalities, sex and ages together with the narrowness and fatigue have
00:11:57
made confrontations in these places habitual.
00:12:05
There have been also allegations of ill-treatments by security personnel.
00:12:12
According to the law, the municipalities and the federal states must be in charge of providing
00:12:19
refugees with basic necessities while their request is processed, which may last several
00:12:25
months.
00:12:32
Other types of permits have begun to be set up, from all these useless shopping centres
00:12:33
to army barracks without current employment and abandoned schools.
00:12:39
The problem many Germans have felt upset is because children were almost a year without
00:12:45
being able to train in their usual sports centers because it was converted into temporary soldiers
00:12:53
for refugees and that many other older people felt shitty because they said that when they
00:13:00
ask for money because they don't have a lot or to raise pension pensions they are told that
00:13:09
they are told that there is no left and then when the refugees come there is all the money they need
00:13:18
for the necessary for their basic necessities a mobilization in favor of refugees sylvia
00:13:28
calls their spoke person for the social affairs office says that every refugee who sees himself
00:13:37
without accommodation receives a covered place to sleep in.
00:13:44
Insist, there are places available in shelters and emergency
00:13:48
centers and no refugees has to sleep outside.
00:13:53
Integration. One of the first thing refugees have to do
00:13:57
is to learn German. In this sense they are given access
00:14:01
to courses so that they can learn German and can integrate into life
00:14:06
and into the labor market some germans often offer their helps by working as german teachers
00:14:12
for refugees the german ngo refugees voice tours turns refugees into tour guides
00:14:21
which explain their experience during the conflict and the stream lines their integration
00:14:31
find a friend is another initiative that allows refugees to find a flat and work it is about
00:14:38
putting refugees in contact with germans so that they have a friend with whom to go out and stay
00:14:44
and whom they can consult when looking for a flat or accessing the labor market
00:14:53
many germans distribute food water and donate toys and clothes and furnitures
00:14:59
and kitchen utensils to the refugees at the first reception center in Gallup.
00:15:06
In Berlin, two literary language teachers who live in the surroundings have returned
00:15:13
to the book to help out.
00:15:20
Once refugees arrive in Berlin, they have to live for months in emergency centers with
00:15:25
no option to a house.
00:15:29
Thousands of asylum seekers must reside in improvised facilities as the administration doesn't care to find them accommodation.
00:15:31
Now that we are here in Berlin, everything seems to have finished.
00:15:40
Everything seems to be easy and to be good.
00:15:44
But for most of the refugees, all over the world, there's something hard to go through missing.
00:15:47
And this is disrespect.
00:15:51
All the hate and the offences they receive by people.
00:15:53
But here in Berlin, things are somehow easier.
00:15:57
here most of the people and the government whose opinion is very important agreed that refugees
00:16:00
should be welcomed in their country something that happened in germany was that 48 hours
00:16:05
after the violent protests of neonatic groups against a refugee center berlin made an
00:16:11
announcement for tons of thousands of syrian refugees germany resting to their legal right
00:16:17
to send refugees back to the countries they've acceded through the european union to get there
00:16:23
to Berlin and in Berlin and in Germany in general they granted them political
00:16:28
asylum and residence permits but there's something not all Germans are up in
00:16:35
arms about the refugee situation due to this some people hosted migrants who are
00:16:40
slayed to be deported in their houses giving them financial assistance and
00:16:46
helping them out fill their paperwork the number of refugees in entire in the
00:16:50
entire Germany is 800,000, which is the 1% of the total population in Germany.
00:16:55
Germany is the most frequent destination from the vast majority of the thousands of people
00:17:03
who are trying to access the European Union, from Syria, but also from Iraq, the Balkans,
00:17:09
Libya, Antigua and Afghanistan.
00:17:15
Some of the reasons why Germany is a very chosen destination by refugees is because
00:17:19
of the economic capacity of the country, which is advancing at a good pace and creating a
00:17:25
constant rate of employment, which means there is almost enough employment for everyone.
00:17:30
Other reason is the constitution, which was written keeping in mind the horrors of the
00:17:36
Nazi regime and the World War I in mind, which underlines that human dignity is untouchable
00:17:41
and has one of the clearest and most generous asylum.
00:17:47
In our opinion, going to Germany is one of the best options.
00:17:51
Apart from their economical benefits, one of the most important factors is the behaviour
00:17:54
of the inhabitants and the government.
00:17:59
They respect refugees no matter the conditions in which they come.
00:18:01
They take into account the fact that not all refugees, actually the majority, come here
00:18:05
with bad intentions and the ones that act badly is because they aren't given any resources
00:18:11
and they have to live from stealing or selling illegal stuff but these people don't come
00:18:16
here with bad intentions so we shouldn't treat them like if they actually did. Refugees are
00:18:22
also people. The only difference is that they are not even able to live in good conditions
00:18:27
and they don't have enough resources. Their homes are being bombed and us who compared
00:18:33
to their lives have a perfect one, if we were in the same conditions we would be the first
00:18:37
to leave our countries. We will be the first to leave our countries, our home, and that
00:18:42
needs sacrifices we can't even imagine doing. People often see them as a threat, but as
00:18:47
I said before, this depends on the situation and somehow depends on us. Just empathise,
00:18:52
get on the situation. Imagine you have to leave your country, imagine your home is being
00:18:59
bombed, imagine you have no food, and it is not just you the one that have no food. Babies
00:19:04
have no food kids and old people have no food they don't have a place to sleep or protect their
00:19:09
family and their themselves but another country just visualize the trip you and your loved ones
00:19:15
have to do it'll be hard not everyone will be able to get to the end and this just for getting into
00:19:21
a country in which they had amazing expectations and expectaties but everything is still hard to
00:19:27
achieve and they can be even returned back to the country of origin. All this for nothing.
00:19:34
Habitants there see them as a threat, as an enemy. Refugees are afraid of going to the streets because
00:19:40
there will be people that won't see them as a person. They won't care about all what they have
00:19:47
and will suffer. Sometimes things are just politically better and nothing is according
00:19:52
to their expectations. To conclude, refugees are regular people who have suffered and are actually
00:19:58
stronger and braver than people who question them. They have lost their home, maybe someone they
00:20:05
loved, and they have to travel thousands of kilometers just for some kind of disability,
00:20:11
whether economic or another one. Now that we are here in Berlin, everything seems to have finished.
00:20:17
everything seems to be easy and to be good but for most of the refugees all
00:20:26
over the world there's something hard to go through missing
00:20:30
and this is disrespect all the hate they and the offenses they receive by people
00:20:32
but here in berlin things are somehow easier
00:20:38
here most of the people and the government whose opinion is
00:20:41
very important agreed that refugees should be welcomed in their country
00:20:44
something that happened in germany was that 48 hours after the violent protests
00:20:49
