Fortress Europe Border Updates

A Message to the World from Omar

A Syrian refugee stuck at the Greek border sharing his thoughts on the current situation.

"I left the border and went to Istanbul. If you have time to listen to me, please listen. I spent almost 20 days at the border and i just do not understand. I have been watching the events there, the people. I saw things I can not even describe. The Greek farmers are treating the people even worse than the Police and the Military. They are farmers, nothing officially, and the Police and Military allow them to do that...

There are so many things, I can't believe it. I can't believe what happened. Why? I mean why is something like this happening? I am shocked. I want to share this information with the world, I want the world to act and end this suffering. There is no one I can trust here. Nobody deserves my trust. Why is this happening? Why are they doing this to the people? Why? You understand me? I mean some people here, they do not even know how to write their names. They are simple people, just hoping.

And I want to reach those in power, I want to reach them and let them know what is happening. And I know it's not a question of money, Europe can pay so much money to protect the borders. It's stupid to say Europe has no money to help us, the refugees. If they had payed those 700 Million to provide us with shelter and protection, it would be enough. But they use the money to hurt us.

I am an educated man, I know it was a lie, a political game. But so many people at the border, they do not know that. If they are told the border to Europe is open, they believe it.They do not know about the racism of Europe. I know they do not want us, because they are racist and because we are Muslims and they are not. For me, the religion of a person does not matter. All that matters is if someone shows humanity and empathy.

I wish those still at the border would understand that Europe does not care for them. That human rights do not matter if you are a refugee. The problem is people believe in Europe and it's so called values."
