11-year-old Nazgol did not ask hastily and anxiously that she be taken to Belarus from her hometown in the Middle East. She certainly did not want the Christian faith of her family to become a deadly threat in a Muslim country. Has Nazgol always dreamed of abandoning her home, her beloved friends and arranging life for a new world in which she could not even speak to her clbadmates in one language. But everything has happened. Not only with her, but also with hundreds of refugee children who have taken refuge in Belarus. The official terminology strictly divides them into "refugees", "people enjoying extra protection" and "internally displaced persons". But the legal status in this case is not important. It is important that each of these children do not leave the home of their own free will, despair, helplessness, fear and basic trauma.
About the hijab, discrimination and lavashak
"My grandmother makes lavashhak, grapes, plums or kiwis.It's like the lavash, just from the fruits.C & # 39; I'm sorry I can not treat you with my grandmother's homemade lavashak, since we can not see her now, Nazgol says – Try the shop. " Nazgol now 13 years old, she lives in Belorussia with her father for two years.
The girl was born in the city of Karach. When she was five, her parents divorced. "Mom did not really want to take me," Nazgol says with a stutter. She does not like talking about it. After the divorce of her parents, the girl stayed with her father. At home, says Nazgol, he had a good job, his own company selling bearings.
"When we were Muslims, we lived very well. I went to school for girls, I had girlfriends there. At home with the father and grandmother there was his own three-story house on two apartments: in one lived, and handed over the second. And then the pope started talking a lot about Christianity with his friend. And the pope decided that it was better to be a Christian. But in fact, according to the law, Christians in a Muslim country can be killed. " – Nazgol is a storyteller who has beautiful dark brown eyes, almost black, shiny curly hair, a fun t-shirt with Mickey Mouse, and a warm, open smile." Today, it is difficult to Imagine that the story of Nazgol is a true story of persecution and forced escape that the family had to endure.
Nazareth father, Majid, 52, speaks Russian badly, but his daughter has literally mastered the language in two years.If the Nazgol speech and guess the foreign accent, it is very easy.The girl plays the role of interpreter, intermediary between the father and the outside world.And now she tries to translate the story of the father to the reporters on why, despite the threat of life, he converted to another faith – Christianity, but eventually he sighed in the perplexity: "I do not know. Still words of adult ".
" When two years ago we arrived in Belarus, we first lived in Gomel. It was a difficult time, dad could not find work. I went to school first in the first clbad and then in the second. The boys even teased me and asked me to be transferred to another clbad. I started studying in the fifth grade. I did not understand Russian, but the teacher was very good, she worked with me after the lessons. And the children were kind, showed me, explained me: "It's a" tomato ", it's an" apple "." And I also went horse riding to Gomel – I trotted and galloped. I like it! She was engaged at home, at home – remembers Nazgol. – By the way, you're asking about the hijab and all that. No, is not it, I do not wear a hijab, I walk quietly in jeans and short skirts. But in my country, it was impossible to go to school. Including because of these problems, we moved. "
Moving from Gomel to Minsk in the summer of 2017, life to the family began to improve.Father found, although not very profitable, but still a job: He collects shop windows on the market and goes to Russian clbades free of charge on the basis of the BSU filfak, organized by the UN Refugee Agency and the Belarusian Red Cross, several times a week.Nazgol had the best friend – Saima, a refugee from Afghanistan, Saima spoke in broken Persian, and Nazgol in Iranian, so the girls understood each other, and the linguistic isolation for them disappeared. 39, they study together at the 136th school of Minsk.There are several refugee children from Iran and Afghanistan in the clbad.
A professional translator joined us with Nazgol and Majid, and now we can use "adult words."
"At home, in the Middle East, my life was dangerous, Was persecuted, – says Majid. – When I chose the country of asylum, I immediately thought of Belarus. I was here before, in 2011, and that has given me an advantage for obtaining a visa. A familiar Afghan from Gomel sent an invitation – and so my daughter and I were here. The most difficult period was in the first weeks and months after the move … "
" I believe that Belarus does not discriminate against other nationalities. You have a good people. There is respect for the kind of religion that a person professes. But still in Belarus, I can not make concrete decisions. I can not hope for the future, for tomorrow " – frowns on Majid.
Nazgol is still a child, but he already understands his father's adult problems. She herself learned to sew skirts and shirts. Calmly walked with an old button phone, while clbadmates boasted new smartphones. I gladly accepted a used bike bought by his father as a gift. You will think that there were two new houses. She will not call back to her beloved father
"My father is trying very hard to have everything I need, ," Nazgol categorically says. – I dream of becoming a chemist or practicing equestrian sport. It is good to study and go to the university. "
" True, I have a desire – shoes of the summer " embarrbaded recognized Nazgol
" I dream of having a superpower. And beautiful handsome beret for my mother "
– And there are children among the refugees who have the same needs as ordinary Belarusian children, but because of the vulnerability they can not always have what they have Belarusians have a prejudiced attitude, they say, refugees are bad, and they are the most ordinary people Normal normal people who have found themselves in an abnormal situation Understand, the Red Cross does not come of a good life.Only in extreme cases, they can not cope.This is why we wanted to make the children a little happier and asked them to write some Letters on their dreams.They thought they would ask for "iPhones" and "MacBooks", and they asked for the most bbad, simple.A swimming circle in the form of a unicorn or a "unicorn". a flamingo, for example, purple rolls, a beautiful beret for mother, all these wishes that we have gathered and we want to fulfill the dreams of more than 700 children from the most vulnerable families who were forced to leave their homes because of war or persecution and ended up in Belarus. For this we need about $ 44,000 – for staff of the Belarusian Red Cross and the United Nations Refugee Agency, which launched a project called "Dreams children refugees ". and try to explain the situation in a boring and pompous way.
