Been reading some refugee stories from allover the Horn of Africa.. All these are so very sad.. For instance Eritrea.. Am not talking about their National Service or military training.. but the way Eritreans are treated by fellow Eritreans!!! I mean this is sooooo harsh and very inhumane. I know this is not news to many Eritreans.. but Its just sad.. for instance.. There was one I read about where a group went through the desert with little food and water.. and were in the desert for around 4 days.. driving day and night.. #nonStOp.. They saw skeletons of people who got stranded in the harsh desert.. I mean it was just horrible.. My point is that not only Eritrean refugees.. but all most all refugees here in Uganda.. are treated badly by we the Ugandans.. We look down upon them because they are refugees.. and they are in Uganda.. you know taking our food.. money begging and all that stuff.. its really bad and in the eyes of God.. its a sin.. Many of these refugees didnot want to be here where they are in the first place.. they didnot wish for anything close to even what they are going through.. They also had big plans for their future while still in their countries.. just like you and me! So instead of hating on them and judging them.. Why not help them. It might not necessarily mean giving them finacial aid (because am sure they do not want to be beggers), just love them.. socialize with them.. Learn about their culture, help them with directions around town make friend with them in otherwards!!.. Am sure that is much cheaper than you just tossing them money.. Treat them the same way you would treat your brothers and sisters(not necessarily fight with them like you do with your siblings).. You never know.. you might get a blessing in return from God!
