I spent the first 20 years of my life in a refugee camp in Sudan. My parents are from Eritrea, but had to flee before I was born. Although my father was in the army, he was also a politician, and after he expressed political views that were different to the government’s, his life was put in danger.
As his kids, our lives were also in danger. Even when we left the camp to go for groceries, we had to be careful about who saw us.
We never applied to be resettled in another . . .
