My name is a killer mani im a documentary filmmaker and a former refugee from kosovo. I was forced to leave home in the early ninetys when i was 8 years old at the start of the balkan wars. An independent republic when i was growing up close to what was the province of communist. This was my grandmothers home one of tens of thousands put into the ground under the orders of the serbian president slobodan milosevic. Destroyed because the majority of course of those Ethnic Albanians like me wanted independence from the serbian state that dominated us and subjected us to persecution. This year is the 30th anniversary of my refugee journey time from looking back and taking stock. I know full longer than. I 1st came here as a teenager in 1904 i will always be grateful to the u. K. For granting me asylum and british citizenship. And my family full of me in 1999 but i still have questions for. But i need to also. And i want to find out what kind of welcome Asylum Seekers receive when they see a surge in europe to. Thank. I think i was 15 or 16 the 1st time when i joined a protest the students off camera a few people who were wounded and i have seen people you know. Blood on the streets and all the students who come this way you know on one occasion where there was another an american of the negation you know i was just coming up here on this track on this just here and i got shot i fell down and i literally felt like i was that with all the students of in from the me screaming hes alive hes alive you know. But here i was lucky thank you know it was very rare of them to use plastic bullets with a woman didnt use real my mom. To sleep is an old school friend. We were pulled forced to escape at the same time for the same reason i mean i mean greece or 18th birthday so we were due to be conscripted into the sort of you nor me meaning fighting for the enemy so you either had to fight the courts or the boston. Or die trying to desert so you were big you know between 2 fires your era crossfire and thats how how a couple of guys apart knew about died they were stopped for a routine check up police saw their i. D. s and they disappeared and then. They got killed in in the world in boston just a few weeks before i left a soldier was sun back and how meticulous close yeah you know and it was secret you know so they were all supposed to literally on the official letters that they got from the army the guy committed suicide and the long bullets in his back was not bullets they found 24 bullets on his back you know he was riddled with bullets but i remember so its like you know yeah i mean this was this was kind of the final straw and it was there was no way either physically or roy was going to be cannon fodder for the serbs. The decision to escape was easy the actual parting was hard im never asked my parents how they felt when i left i visit them at their other home here in pristina. Im hoping the memories wont be too painful for them. John warner one of us of course does care now. Also was it me thought to quietly during their news must that neda but you mean obviously they screwed up it thought neutral because the new school at the back to whatever they mean it took court you know the. Most record to. Me of the book and minute it could there really are. This mythical. Juice with dead us that the newseum must be a source of supporters and say heres a mish zone so you can then when the old pop and the archdeacons only can muster to me come here again it was of course quite on the scale now but the whole break last year when consumed skinned it up of course mark pesce and more are greatly needed the world kate. Have a story. To increase its credibility and i will keep this that is a fiction super shot to keep me thirst. Just the more they do with. Doltish that yes in my past me it just happened after who knows what would have happened if i stayed. I probably wouldnt be alive today. The idea of not knowing thats what kills you and you dont know if its gonna be for a week for a month or a year for 30 and you know its its just incredible i was only 18. And you never know if you can ever see your family again. To escape cos so i hid in the back of an empty petrol tankers driven by a family friend if i was discovered i knew id almost certainly be shocked. To be honest i was scared like really scared. Where the border it is now was like the muss of checkpoints you know all the Serbian Forces police. Have what a relief when the army just passed a border you know. Although the e. U. Still had internal borders back then i made it to safety of the relative ease. A far cry from what refugees and you are today. A lot changed from the war in syria hundreds of thousands of new Asylum Seekers were created displaced families fleeing the bombing. Most European Countries responded by closing the borders. Then in march 26th seen the e. U. Made a deal with turkey paying 3000000000 euros to prevent Asylum Seekers from crossing into europe. But tens of thousands each year still a time to journey illegally risking their lives to get the. Most to successfully complete the perilous journey by land passed through the greek city of the saloniki. Thats where i meet refugees seeking help from a medical charity. One of these tickets for us if i was right and for dr. Some have walked hundreds of kilometers to get here. What you say there was that she had wanted to kill me at 611 because of the what song. Dr i guess how many days you walked on 77th in the years that i got off and you are so solved by my feet still very. Most of the refugees have stories of several previous failed attempts to cross the turkish you border as well as human rights abuses by men in uniform i think me to be important if they get cold and it must be quite honestly on. The one when one hears my voice it will be between 3 times take my money says one doctor that has this happened in the whole of the. Women going and. Im horrified by what these guys have to go through not to use to get to europe. By comparison my own journey to escape was easy. Once out of serbia i was able to go safely by bus to sweden i didnt have to hide walk for days or worry about being killed at any other countrys border. Most Asylum Seekers come to greece a small boat smuggled across from turkey. Im heading for less force a greek garland around 6 kilometers from the Turkish Coast it hosts the largest refugee camp in europe. The morea camp was intended as a short term Registration Center for Asylum Seekers waiting to transfer elsewhere. It has capacity for 3000 people but over 13000 are living here and the numbers are growing. More stay in the no risk belay area known as the jungle. This man from im going to start arrived here 3 weeks earlier. Your kids are. Shot. To flacco calling one of them if i said those are my knees are still. In the field what is our morning. Meeting go on and it. Was a curious one and then he was over the only sort of new some come over to finland missler i wanted in just in the dominican. Element for me to see what yeah i can offer to shake magazine. Also from the going to star wants to show me very lives. On the way we pass the toilet seat has to serve with hundreds of others. I want. The number of the stench is overwhelming. My goal this is not. How do you do not sending him. Lets say no to that which you did in the end she had island. Fame holes in it you know what it is and how long youre supposed to stay here do you know. Interviewing what island by the young monk youd have to mean to be a mother that about a high she. Survived has been here for 2 months but are still waiting for the e. U. Funded cash assistance refugees are entitled to. And what ive been showing them in. Im soon surrounded by refugees eager to tell me about the lack of medical help in the county where they get this and other more psych eval far. From dr no no doctor thats just one thing you get out of it but certainly know that you know that thats all this is for one month. And what is your problem what is the back. Talk on the phones other people. Formal thank you good luck or thank you thank you another afghan refugee asked me to follow him. Michael youre very yeah right and to be a refuse you. Know i had who you know i escaped. From punk and its rock thank you yeah i was low before then if you go and thought you killed your server your 5 month so this is your 4 children. You know i dont care you know. His family arrived 3 days earlier i did not know i said i mean the story that means that i know what it means to be thought it was no way to know. The family called by their own food without cash assistance. And theres a big problem carter working. You know what he. Did on his actions this year when youre going to get the new car. Car so yes its months my goal this is shocking and otis is supposed to learn how youre going to survive what the guy had asthma how to go going to match what it was about michael j. Called and that was what i like my little one was involved in a battle which i didnt hear and so can you leave from here. Your story yes its stuck here i hope it works out and i hope you will go away as soon as possible. The greek government has found only for me behind the fence inside the main camp. Its called by police. But readers shot by refugees reveal conditions inside the compound no better if not worse than outside the only obvious difference is the some refugees have metal containers to live in rather than tents i wasnt allowed inside the camp to speak to people. But some women came to the courtyard of a local charter to meet me. From countries to b. C. But we go and hear. Them which do not disagree with your us sauce 100 head maybe leave us understand us hummus out of a chest of muslim detest. First if you can sound logical muslim and you to call me and call me that if you have a how about the muslim that im with that im going to suffer hazell on because it has a well im going to suffer less than that in itself as i get much out of a whole history of us as a cause of our change of leadership he was playing it when color was crushing with him he killed. You have to appreciate tonto conics artist could have thought under so hush the commies bad night charge not charge more but it does so much its evoking after the q. And a much ado surprise and i wish i had official bizarre not but a bit to some vested as a show that really its a little bit severed that our country and but they cannot make a good place for a. Few. Women and children are particularly vulnerable in the marina camp. Many are sick but most go untreated as there arent enough doctors. You know so here is where the service is over but i dont. Think the national and your doctors without borders. Invite me to visit their mobile childrens clinic to get this for myself the scale of unmet needs. D. M. s of course the nature on the island you have a posse come hard this frustration too was a you. Its a game and deterrence policy. Keeping 15200 people in a camp like this is just unacceptable women children pregnant women and accompanied minors people with disabilities lack of food lack of medical services i mean its really unnecessary well you know all this misery it is absolutely avoidable it brings shame to everybody in europe to think that europe cannot cope up with this number of people they cannot absorb this number that people have to suffer in this way it is unacceptable the degree of the as a crowding is the Vulnerable People they really need to be moved out people with psychiatric problems need to be moved out people that are victims of torture need to be moved out of the camp people with Severe Health problems if people in the camps suffering from cancer require treatment that are not being treated at this point in time i mean im just you go through those symptoms it must be hell if i as a healthy person without the experiences of having been right there having been told to go heavy lived in a war site was placed in the Registration Center of madea in a manner of wakes im going to need Mental Health support. You have to get if i show no no no im just saying im trying to think of the you know when i was you know when i was going around the council you know i just really felt like how hollow north is this possible you know its were like 20192020 almost you know europe in europe. Is just crazy this is ridiculous is lead to i meet up with muhammad the young learn from the camp. Being in the more you can see it hard for example where when we want to take a break 1st we should wake up 6 am and until 8 am we are in the line to take just one small cake its not enough for one to adults 1st and yet known we should sense 2 hours to take your food and winning we should stand 2 hours to spend 6 years is losing 6 hours we are ascending into line to eat food its really hard and when i arrived here about 3 weeks ago. 10 days in this street not in the tents because they said that we dont give tends to the single month and most of the people wants to run away from here because here is the same as hell its really hard to. Argue that there are. Wrong. Then make the move. Here you need to have to run a very remarkable people here the next day much to give up on it. Because of their mori accounts dont give us enough food most of the refugees force so rob fruits from the garden so thats why you people are hostile and its because if he says i think. I want to say thats as soon as possible i live here but greek government still insists us to go so you start here yes im stuck here and why did you have to leave a lot of problems for example my cousin fighting the taliban he died in the taliban this oratory of a. Thank you so. You know dont let depression get you things dont change you know. This is me when i was 18. So you had a fair call in this picture yeah so yeah samys yeah i left as well whenever anything i left home and when. I was a bit i then yes. I feel so sorry for mohamed when i escaped to sweden i was the same age i didnt have to sleep in the streets i had relatives to stay with. And the worst abuse i had to suffer was people yelling is me ok me im just want to tell a girl whom black skull because i had told him not blown like this.
