The Movement Of Sudanese Refugees

Saul’s article recognizes that the Syrian refugee crisis exists amidst citizen sponsorship, Aboriginal judgement, and disorder within EU countries’ immigrant policies. According to Saul, democracy in Canadian politics grants citizenship to immigrants without any obstacles. Canada’s immigration policies are transparent because they are balanced with civic participation. Saul thinks that multiculturalism is a forceful catalyst towards establishing equality and integrity for the refugees. In the first point, Saul does not agree that refugees should be privately sponsored and assisted by the government. In the second point, Saul indicates that Canada’s national identity is the product of the encounter between the Aboriginals and European settlers, which has resulted in citizenship. By entering the Inuit circle, immigrants can establish themselves as a strong unit not by having roots outside Canada, but by living with Canadian intellect. The immigrants should mold to nature because this is the way the Aboriginals have defined their understandings of life. As Sifton has noted, “the … government … made presentations … to potential immigrants, presenting beautiful images of the Rocky Mountains and thriving settled farmland” (475). In the last point, Saul comments on the European prejudices that are

Refuge means shelter, “so a refugee is a person that seeks shelter, usually from war, natural disaster, or some other harmful situation.”("Refugee - Dictionary Definition.") Merriam Webster classifies ‘other’ as “different or separate from the person or thing that has already been mentioned.” (Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster) Therefore the word ‘othering’ is going to be similar, “the process of perceiving or portraying someone or something as fundamentally different or alien.” ("Wordnik.") The big question is how big of a deal can scarcity come to?

“Doesn’t the world see the suffering of the millions of refugees of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn’t the world see this injustice?” (Ismail Haniyeh). This is how many of the universal refugees feel. There are millions of refugees all over the world in similar situations. This is also similar to how Ha feels in the book “Inside Out and Back Again.” Ha’s life mirrors the universal refugee experience because many lives are turned inside out, they have to get used to their new living arrangements, and they have to adapt to a new world.

Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1). This, as well as other advantages that Egypt has gained during its past, has allowed it to rise above the problems plaguing the rest of the Middle East and to form basically its

In the reading, “The Immigrant Enclave: Theory and Empirical Examples,” Alejandro Portes and Robert D. Manning primarily discusses the process that immigrants go through as they go about adapting and integrating into their new society. As the reading states, often when immigrants migrate to new societies, it is either for economic reasons as a means of achieving a better life for themselves or that of seeking political asylum as political refugees. A real world example of an immigrant enclave today is that of the thousands of Syrian refugees who emigrated to the United States and other countries in an effort to flee the Syrian civil war. During the midst of the Syrian crisis, many Syrian refugees sought

Imagine being dropped off in a foreign place where you have never been before or even heard of. You have been dropped off with nothing but the clothes on your back and barely speak a word of the language that is spoken there. This is how the Nuer feel when then go to the United States from Sudan for more freedom. Sure the United States may have more opportunities for a better life than Sudan, but it comes with a lot of life-changing events and challenges that the Nuer must face daily. In Nuer Journeys Nuer Lives, Jon Holtzman discusses the challenges the Nuer face and how they overcome them once they have been kicked out of their homes and immigrate to Minnesota in the United States.

In recent years the US has experienced a large influx of migration. Immigrants come from many different countries, races, religions and for many different reasons. One group of immigrants that received national attention is a group from Sudan that has been called “The Lost Boys”. The reason behind the national attention is due to the dramatic circumstances that brought them to America. To understand these circumstances it is important to understand their history. Sudan is the largest country in Africa. It is between two powerful cultural regions, the Islamic north and the Christian south. Africa has more than 400 languages and dialects. There are 597 different ethnic groups with

If you were forced to leave your home and flee to another country because of terrorism, would you not want the people of that country to welcome you with open arms? Today, thousands of refugees in the Middle East are escaping the terrorism in their homelands to go to a free country such as the United States. These immigrants are avoiding terrorism because of what they have seen happen to others who were affected by the terrorists. An immigrant is someone who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence and a terrorist is a person or a member of a group that uses or advocates terrorism. With the rise of Middle Eastern immigrants escaping terrorism, the people of the United States need to support the refugees in adjusting to

Every year, hundreds of thousands of families are forcibly removed from their homes because they’re unable to pay their rent or mortgage. Their entire family is uprooted and forced to give up all they know because of a few missed payments. They’re forced to go stay with a friend or sometimes even forced to live in some kind of shelter that will help them through these times. How do you think that family feels? Now imagine that on a greater scale. Hundreds maybe even thousands of people being forced out of their country due to a war, or some kind of racial discrimination. These people who suffer this are called refugees. Refugees were defined by the United Nations to be people who are not considered as nationals by any state under the operation of its law. They have almost no rights, and due to this, they are also often treated very poorly. Though it is possible for them to move and travel, they have no chance of acquiring citizenship into any country. Refugees have been displaced from their home due to racial discrimination, war tribulations, or for the sake of their own safety. The displacement of refugees is an issue dating back to before WWII. Before the second world war, statelessness referred mainly to the status of the inhabitants of conquered territories because they no longer had a place to which they truly belonged. For example, many Jews became stateless before and during the Holocaust, because the Nuremberg laws stripped them of their German

areas like Southeast Asia are particularly vulnerable, but victims are from everywhere—from the Sudan to the suburbs. Their destinations are just as varied. No place or people is immune.

Have you ever noticed that in almost any book, there is survival part? Well, if you have, you may also notice that the theme of those books is about survival. The theme of “survival” could be related to any books. The book Lost Boy, Lost Girl: Escaping the Civil War in Sudan is about 2 kids, John, and Martha tried to escape the war and get to an UN camp in Ethiopia but there are dangers on the way. The theme of “survival” relates to this book because John and Martha used all the resources to help them from dying. Furthermore, this is how the theme of “survival” relates to the book, Lost Boy, Lost Girl: Escaping the Civil War in Sudan.

Egypt was heavily influenced by the arab uprising until the day has come on 25th of January 2011 police officers left the prisons open to prisoners to escape. This caused chaos and turmoil in the country, and ,murderers and thugs were walking around the country with weapons stealing what they can. We were in Sinai, a small city on the red sea, it wasn't safe, so we had to move to a safer city country Morocco. On this day, we lost our house,car and a lot of money I felt useless and powerless. A few days later, I was soo stressed that I felt sick, and I was emotionally and psychologically defeated because it was my First time moving to a new country, so it was difficult for me to adapt to the language and weather. Although It was a tough period in my life, I was able to overcome it. In the story “The School Days of an Indian Girl” by Zitkala-Sa, she was placed in the same situation. Zitkala-Sa, a native indian girl, at a young age is forced to move to another state to be forced to learn how to talk, eat and dress like whites. She said “ I sank deep into the corner of my seat, for I resented being watched”. She had the same feeling that I had when I was in Morocco. Like Zitkala-Sa, I was also forced to relocate to another

In recent history, conflicts and civil wars, as well as environmental changes have plagued the country of South Sudan. As a result of fighting and starvation from scarcity of food, a large number of the South Sudanese population has been forced to relocate. The people of South Sudan have little choice but to seek refuge in neighboring countries. In the past two months alone, a new disruption has led to a rise in the number of refugees fleeing to Uganda. The increasing number of refugees have caused worry to the U.N. and its partners because there is not enough resources for everyone. As of late, the U.N. has reported that food rations are low, meaning that refugee are only provided protein, mainly beans as they arrive in camps. The refugees

What is the What is a piece of literary ventriloquism that not only recounts the harrowing story of Sudanese refugee Valentino Achak Deng, but brings it to life. It makes the audience experience and sympathize with the Lost Boys on their treacherous march through the African desert with the use of details and stories that evoke imagination of the morbidly and wildest kinds. This is accomplished primarily because Valentino provides a personal face to the tragedy. Many people have heard about the civil war in Sudan, but find it hard to understand the severity of the situation because it’s so far away and not often referenced in American culture or media. Valentino brings a personal touch to the crisis, from his adventure through the desert to his final destination in the United States. He tells stories of his friends and family tinged with personal experiences that the audience cannot help but to relate to and sympathize with.

The fifty years between the Second World War and the nineties in Egypt were colored by a great number of political, social, economic, and cultural changes. Following the Coup in 1952, the Egyptian nation became a symbol for the decolonization movement and Third Worldism. This level of hegemony would have a lasting effect on the sociopolitical and economic sphere for years to come. Nasser and his Free Officers, much like the fathers of the ‘Liberal Experiment’, made grandiose promises to the Egyptian people: a nation all their own, freedom from all the oppressors, universal economic equality, human rights, the list goes on. Although the goals of Egyptian socialism were noble, they were not fulfilled. The problems of an authoritarian and militant state, defeat in the 67 war, political corruption, economic instability, and cultural bankruptcy kept Nasser, as well as his successors, from giving the people what was promised. And, as history would show, when citizens of a nation are promised something and they do not receive it, dissidence occurs - in Egypt specifically with political Islam and the revival of fundamentalism. What makes these elements of Egyptian history so valuable is that they intersect with one another - the details of each social, political, cultural, or economic element provide understanding for the ‘big picture’ in Egypt. Looking at the events of the past, one can gain a more concise understanding of Egypt in present day.
