How
desperate is your situation when you end up seeking refuge in Malawi? I mean
were talking about one of the poorest countries in the world. Value of Kwacha
went down I don’t know how much in only three months I spent there, big percentage of the
population suffers from starvation and let’s not even start the HIV.
A refugee
in Malawi has to have good reasons to leave ones’ country. And there’s over 20
000 reasons. I had the privilege to
visit Dzaleka refugee camp – a privilege cause at the end of the day I could
leave the place. Several others can’t.
Some of the inhabitants of the camp have lived there close to 20 years. They consider it as their home as shabby as it is. Just before you reach the camp coming from Lilongwe there's a small hill with some trees and bushes. It's a cemetery for the refugees. Cause in Africa people want to be buried close to their home.
