Victim of the UNHCR

[Citizen X]

Abetka, I really do empathize with you! Your best recourse still remains the United Nations. Any evidence of any human rights violations should be uploaded to youtube and any other online community. Let the world see and understand exactly what your plight is!

[Dave A]

Your best recourse still remains the United Nations.

I wish I shared your faith. The research I did showed a solution for the challenge is not going to be simple.

Ukraine faces some major challenges of their own - they're not well placed to assist refugees. This is "out of the fat and into the fire" stuff.

The other problem is... well let's put it this way... it hasn't all been "peaceful protest."

[abteka]

Dear friends, gusts and good people of our world !

I am very happy if someone will organize himself and try to assist me. In my opinion, the man, who organize and decided to assist me can transfer my messages to friends, can post my message to known forums, can indicate me the links of known forums, can post my message to news-week, etc. This will be more than what I am expecting.

Sincerely,

Asheber Bekele

This is not a joke !

It might be too shameful to consider yourself as a refugee living in a European country for more than twenty years or more. Most of our compatriots in Ukraine are not desirable to abandon this status because of poverty. The country, which provides us asylum is not able to do anything for refugees. To know about this please read the report of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) about Ukraine, which has been released in 2008 from this address:
http://hudoc.ecri.coe.int/XMLEcri/EN...2008-4-ENG.pdf

On this report at the bottom of page 15, ECRI declared like this:
“Once their status (status of refugee's) has been recognized, refugees receive a one-off allowance of 17 hryvnias (approximately 2.50 euros) and no accommodation.” This is not a joke, but a real event. From this report you will understand how much refugee's of Ukraine are suffering in their life. Practically it is impossible to get a job in Ukraine. This is not because of the crisis, which has started in 2008 or after the secretly released of the new European policy to make the migration process more wicked, but this had been like this since Ukraine started to grant asylum for newcomers (in the middle of 1990 – 2000 year) . A person must get a job to pay for flat, food, cloth, medical expenses and to marry and given birth of a children. From where a refugee can get money for all these expenses, when he will be saturated (be a citizen of this country) ? So, because of this reason – fearing the dark futurity; many of our compatriots didn't dare to be a citizen of Ukraine.
Yes, there are some, who applied to get the citizenship of Ukraine (and even have become a citizen) . But don't think that these people want this status to integrate and live in this country. All of us have become like a prisoners here. Even though we are a recognized refugees and have a travel document, we aren't able to use this travel document and travel to somewhere. From the beginning, this travel document has been made deliberately improperly. Many of us, who have a family were in need of such a document, because we were able to travel to the western European countries or somewhere and get a job – to feed our family. Many embassies in Ukraine have informed our compatriots that this travel document doesn't fit the international standard. Concerning this issue (travel document):

---

-- The executive committee (EC) of our NGO has made a meeting in Kiev with the Representatives of the Regional UNHCR office in 2006 (But without any solution);

---

- Our NGO has addressed to the representatives of the Regional UNHCR office to solve this problem;

---

- In many meetings, refugees have raised this issue and asked the representative of theRegional UNHCR to solve this problem. But the representatives of the Regional UNHCR preferred to be deaf.

Looking to the resistance of the regional UNHCR office many have come to the decision that it impossible to live in this country. THEY DESIRE A FREEDOM. The only solution, which recognized refugees came in to their mind to get freedom from this prison is to get Ukrainian citizenship and escape. Many have escaped from this prison and join the western European countries and are living long ago in peace. So the only reason, for which many recognized refugees in Ukraine are taking the citizenship of Ukraine is to get freedom.
Having a status of refugee for a long years, a refugee can be accommodated in the accommodation center for refugee, get at least free medical service through the UNHCR and some times he can get a financial assistance from the UNHCR if ;

---

- he will be a person, who will not ask his right;

---

- Will not write a protest or a petition against the system or part of it, which works together with the UNHCR.

---

- This person will forget about his interest understanding the situation that it is useless to remember them that he has such an interest.

---

- He will be deaf, dumb and blind for all events, which are happening in his surroundings.
Yes, in this case a refugee status will be a good means of existence for refugee's in Ukraine . How could they survive in another way ? You can Google and get a very grief news about the life of refugees in Ukraine. This poverty has become a good instrument for this system to calmly rule and close the mouths of those, who wants to tell the world society what is going on here. In fact poverty has become a good weapon everywhere for tyrants to suppress and rule poor people of our planet. But I am sorry to observe that the UNHCR has stand in one line with the world known tyrants and continue to drove to poverty and harass poor people like me and others.
Frequently the partners of the UNHCR remember me and others that we are living here in Ukraine for more than twenty years and we were supposed to integrate and saturate in this society , live a new life, forget the assistance from the UNHCR. Indeed they are right. But did the UNHCR officials remember this issue for those refugees, who have a very closed relation with them, get a continual financial and material assistance and who are living in Ukraine for more than twenty years ? NO.
Even though these refugees are living in Ukraine as much age as I am living, they are getting a surplus amount of money and other assistance. The partners of the UNHCR and the UNHCR itself will never remember them why they don't want to be saturated.
There are some, who have saturated, but have a very closed relation with this system. Even though they are saturated, they are still supplied with different services including finance, accommodation and health assistance. I have asked the partners of the UNHCR and the staffs of the local integration center “why these people are supplied a financial and other assistance after that they have become a citizen of Ukraine ?” and I have got the following answer:
" Since the country is too weak to assist them and they are unable to survive independently; the UNHCR has a responsibility to assist them for some period (five years) till they will get the ability to survive independently." Yes, this is a very good idea for those, who are planing to be saturated, but how many refugeeeeeees are getting a financial assistance from the UNHCR ? Very
and very few.
Yes, because of this reason many refugees are not willing to be saturated in the Ukrainian society; having a hope, that they will get something from the great UNHCR and preserve their life. We are Eternally Refugees.
So, in the future if you meet a man with a twenty or more than years of refugee status – don't surprise or laugh please, since he might be from Ukraine. It is possible that you have heard in the past about the very successful integration and saturation of refugees in the Ukrainian society. But I am telling you the truth “Don't believe this kind of information.” this is a fake and a disinformation of
the UNHCR and its allies (partners). The reality is vice-verse. But why the UNHCR and its allies are lying to this extent ? We will formulate an answer for this vital question in the next messages.

So what is your long term plan, then? To live off UNHCR support for the rest of your life?

At what point are you going to start taking responsibility for yourself and your future and actually make a life for yourself?

[abteka]

Dear Mr. Dave A !!!

Thank you for your reply.
I don't want any kind of communication with the UNHCR.
I have defended and protected many Africans and non- Africans serving in our NGO. I have done the life of my compatriots more safe. Yes, there were some situations, in which I need a support, but for that I refused to sell myself for the UNHCR officials.
I have completly cutt-off my relation with the UNHCR for more than a year, but they didn't want to leave me. This permenant interference in my personal life will not be stopped forever; In June 2012 I have lost my good job (for the third time in two years) and that was well fabricated - to immerse me to poverty and complicate my life. And this was the reason why I started this campaign.
Do you think that I will have a safe life here in Ukraine ? I think no. I know that they will kill me, but before that I should have to do something.

Thanks a lot.

So what is your long term plan, then? To live off UNHCR support for the rest of your life?

At what point are you going to start taking responsibility for yourself and your future and actually make a life for yourself?

The cost of life

Little Ismael

28 of March 2004 I had been in the town together with my family. I returned back
home at 21:30 o’clock. We were undressing our clothes, when we heard a very shocking sound.
This was a scream, which needs and ask a help. I run out and went to the corridor.
This was a history, which happened in an accommodation center (AC) for refugees. This AC is
located in a city called Odessa, Ukraine.

I run and went out. On the corridor were so many people. Every one was looking
each other. Nobody knows what happened and who screamed in such an awful way. People
asked each other who screamed, but there was no answer. Some of us imagine as if it was a
scream of a drunkard person who is trying to joke in this way. I returned back to my room
knowing nothing what is happening.
After I undressed completely, the scream repeated again. This time it was more
intensive and continued for a long time. When I arrived to the corridor, there were so many
people. This time every one of us understands that this thing is not a joke. From the eyes of every
one I was able to read the level of anxiety and stress. A man from Iran came and told me that this
scream was from the side, where the bathroom is located. Hearing this information we went
together to the bathroom. The bathroom was closed and it was clear that some one was taking
shower. We knocked, but there was no reaction. Repeatedly we knocked, but again no answer.
This time we understand that something wrong is happening there; but what? My Iranian friend
told me to break the door and I agreed. He hit the door with his legs and the door opened.

Inside the bathroom we watched an asylum seeker called Ismael. Ismael is a citizen of
Liberia. He was absolutely naked. I will become ashamed or confused if someone entered
suddenly the bathroom where I am taking a shower, but Ismael was smiling. He smiled as a
foolish man. And it was obvious, that he wasn’t normal. We were standing there as a salt statue
of Sodom and Gomorra, when Ismael leave the bathroom and went out to the corridor naked.
Ismael was walking on the corridor naked in the presence of all residents including women and
wasn’t ashamed of that. Even though there were so many people on the corridor nobody was
having the courage to ask Ismael where he is going.
All we were there, but when we took control on ourselves we asked each other in
which room Ismael entered or where he go. Nobody was having an answer. Immediately we
went to his room, but he wasn’t there. Every one of us checks his room, but Ismael didn’t appear
in any room. Ismael was here just now, but where did he disappeared? After that the searching
of Ismael became unsuccessful, we informed about this to the guard in duty. The guard told us
that nobody went out from the AC – especially naked. We weren’t able to believe this, because
this man can’t disappear simply. We started to search Ismael in the territory of the AC; whereas
the guard runs to the town with someone to look for Ismael. We searched the whole territory
using torches, but can’t get Ismael. The group, which have been in the town also returned back
without success. An Ethiopian refugee, who returned from the town, has informed us that he has
seen a naked man running very swiftly, but didn’t realize who might be that. We were sitting
with the guard when he lastly saw Ismael through the window returning back from the town.

To be continued

[abteka]

We run out and went to the gates of the AC. Ismael was lying naked on the dirt. The
guard asked us to lift him and we all helped him to took Ismael to the building. We asked the
guard to call emergency, but he refused to do so. Instead he called and informed the director and
the deputy director of the AC. We continuously informed him, but he categorically refused. It
was obvious that there is an instruction not to inform anything to another organ except the
directors. After some hours the director and the deputy director of the AC arrived. They joke with Ismael. They pretend as if nothing happened at all. Even they offer Ismael to drink
vodka. I have been there and was able to see and listen all what was happening that time. Lastly
these great men – the director and the deputy director of the AC decided that Ismael is normal
and accompanied him to his room and went to their family. It is very interesting that these
people became as a Doctor and decided like this, but in reality Ismael run to the town without
pants and entered a small shop crowded with people. There was a panic in the shop looking this
pity African in this manner. Every body runs out from the shop. It is because of that Ismael fall
in panic and returned back to the AC, but these great people decided that everything is OK.

Morning around 5 AM a very severe shout awakened us. I run to the corridor.
Everyone is running to different direction and impossible to know what had happen. Lastly I
understand that the teenager Ismael finally became absolutely mad. He was running in the
corridor like a dog with rabies. He was knocking-down someone and bites the other. The guard
in duty also was running to do something. We asked the guard to call an emergency and solve
this problem, but he refused. As prior he called the director and the deputy director of the AC.
Until the director and the deputy director of the AC came, we have seen many
tragedian events. He jumped from the second floor, when I was on the first and sits on my
shoulder and bite my head and neck. Thanks, my Iranian friend came in time and save me. He
broke all – the TV, kitchen and toilet equipments, doors etc. We collect many of the women in a
room nearby the room of the guard. In an unknown reason Ismael knows that these women are
there. He has done some attempts to enter there, but we have given him a resistance. But on one
occasion he pushed six of us and entered the room, but the women already heard how we
straggled against him and jump through the window and fled outside.
I was exhausted and feel myself helplessness. In addition to that the guard still now
looking all these tragedy didn’t want to call an emergency. He was waiting his bosses. I have
heard a breaking of doors on the second floor and went up to see my family. Thanks God my
family is in peace. Most of us have a mobile phone, but we have been treated badly by the
administration of the AC so nobody has the courage to call anywhere for a help. But coming to my
family I decided to call an emergency and did it. The emergency told us to call to the police and
this time I heard a gentle tap (knock) . I was ready to open the door, but my wife told me to look through
the wholes of the door. I have seen a naked leg. This was Ismael. Thanks God I am in my room,
but what would it be if I was somewhere? I have observed some minutes ago that Ismael was
running in the corridor with a big knife in his hand. I was ready to defend my family. When
Ismael knows that we will not open the door he started to break it. After some blows part of the
door has been broke and his hand entered with a huge knife in it. This time the guard heard the
noise and crack and arrived to the second floor in hurry. Looking the guard, Ismael run and hide
himself in the bathroom. A serious tragedy happened after this. In the bathroom Ismael cut-off
his genitals all in all, punctured his stomach in six places and appeared for the public with a
stream of blood. But still looking this, the guard didn’t want to call an emergency or police. In
addition to that our great gods didn’t appear.
