What do I remember today

Probably I should remember a big thing today. I dont. Well I do. My only remark is how many people died for the 11000 that died 3 years ago?
Too much.

Today I followed a girl who moved to Belgium 8 years ago. For a political reason. It took her eight years to be able to stay into the country. After 2 years they wanted to send her back to Kosovo, if things had happened like that, she would have ended up in the war.
During this war, her parents send their children to Europe (and whod been better to go to than their sister?) Parents that worried about their daughters.
Serbs have raped a lot of girls here. Like people say here: it was better to get killed in the streets at once, as long as they didnt rape you.
The shame on that is different here than in Europe.
These sisters and aunts are sent back. Except for one sister and one brother that are still waiting for permission to stay. The brother arrived when he was 15 and is now 19, he has a Belgian life, Belgian friends and wants to stay there because his chances on a good life are better.
The sister has a war trauma, she didnt see her parents in 5 years, but cant make it to Kosovo. The thought of it makes her cry, every night she gets up crying and she needs medicines to calm her down.
She saw people get killed and she walked the streets when everywhere there were laying death bodies.
Yould get shocked from less I guess.
Still I cant understand. They tell me stories of Serbian neighbours that came out of their houses with kitchen knives to kill Albanians.

This story is not about Serbs or Albanians. It is about people that want to kill others, once neighbours Try to understand

This story is similar to that of a lot of people here
And it keeps on going.

For me it is hard. Like it is for the European Community. Or even the world.
Because on one hand they might want to help, they might want to stop the immigration into Europe, and solve this problem is solving European problems.
The only way to do this, is to make economics better here.
But such a thing needs good politicians and no more corruption.
A long way to go, in other words.

If you would be living here, and you have problems, and in Belgian you find a (temporary) solution. Wouldnt you go?

For sure I would
