Hi my name is Suha from Irak
I came to Cyprus in August 2006
I have been living here in Cyprus since that time
I left my country because I have been threatened by some insurgency
I like to be here because it is safe & secure, but it is difficult sometimes
we are alone here, without family.
Since our arrival, we are trying to proceed with our asylum application...
I've been working at a company for the past 4 years.
It s much easier than before, because gradually you get to know the people and the places better.
we started getting more assistance from governmental or non governmental organizations as well
I think that the life is good here but it’s difficult being a foreigner in any country,
we need to learn the language, and also...
sometimes the Cypriot people are not friendly because they may think...
that we are strange or that we are foreigners
they may think that all the foreigners are bad
and that hurts us, because not all people are...
in every people, in every community, there are good people and bad people.
so, these are some of the challenges that we sometimes faces.
I have friends from different nationalities, different communities...
Cypriots, British, Arabs, basically because I'm working in a company...
that is providing international language (services) so we are like 20 nationalities in this company
so, yes, I have friends from all these nationalities
My wish is to give us (refugees) more chance here, because we left from our countries threatened
because being here for almost 7 years, it is very hard for us to go back...
because the situation is still hard there and it's getting harder
and in my case also, because all of my family has left Iraq
we were threatened and left, so basically if the government asked me at some point to go back to Irak
I dont have a place to go, because all my family left Irak
and they are already refugees in other countries like Holland and Belgium
because of lack of security, because of the dangerous situation
