Ok so you may now wonder “What exactly is a refugee?”. So, a refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country, not because the government force them but they have no choice. They came from place where wars, natural disaster, economy crisis, food shortage, plague etc. In short, they leave because their country is not safe. For example, war raid in Afghanistan because of the Taliban, in case you don’t know they’re terrorist. The American send army to stop the war and bring peace to Afghanistan again. The country has now turn into a battlefield, which is not safe so almost everyone in Afghanistan flee to other countries around, though sometimes they don’t have to move far because Americans already provide refugee camp. Refugee camp are camps settle around a specific area for refugees. In refugee camp, refugees will be provided with shelter, food, water and safety, though sometimes God wants to spice things up a bit. So now you may wonder how do they get there. As I mention above, they could travel through sea, forest, desert to get where they might make their first stop. After that maybe a government of a country might consider the idea that one of the refugees could be a citizen, well actually after a war end civilian usually went back to their country, other move to the new country that save them. And so, the one that move will have a happy life, well the one stay still got a happy life. But did I mention that this is the 20^th century? Well actually refugees already exist in 16^th century. When the Europeans start to what they said is “new freedom and education” was actually an excuse for stealing gold, destroying the African economy and also brought some slaves. Hence the Europeans do that, economy crisis, gold shortage and also a loss of a few thousand people. Due to this problem African start to move to Europe in order to find new life. But instead, Europeans block the sea and tell the Africans to come back. The Africa though, even after hearing that they didn’t back up and so things didn’t turn out good. As the words don’t work violence take place. Europeans start to send patrol ship armed full of canon and guns, ready to fire at the swimming African. They said that it’s a self-defense, but it turns out to be a massacre of more than 300 thousand African estimated. That’s a lot of dead body floating on the sea. The sea turns red as the world turn against the European forcing them to stop. They did stop, but didn’t pay for their miserable sin that they commit to the African. And that’s how hard it is to be a refugee at that time.

Today refugees are still around us. They are people who suffer from war, natural disasters, plague. They are people who lost their family, friends, brothers. There are charities that come to all the places to help the refugees with their situation. Only one more thing I know is the argument, the war, the massacre of humanity will be impossible to predict when will it happen, and so it’s impossible to stop. It’s the life cycle. For peoples who still have their family, enjoy your happy days gathering around with your family. To people who lost their family in the dark path, don’t give up, there’s still a small light at the end of the tunnel. Find your destiny, and may god be on your side.
