10 refugee camps where we hide the misery

Don’t let them cheat you with photographies of tyrans in porcelain trons, the true cause of the war is the color of the money. And the true interest of the people how gets int them is the acces to the resources. The racial tensions, the religious incompabilities, the failure of the politics and furthermore… Are only the external shape of one fierce battle for the goods. And the big majority of the ones who suffer them (wich they use to be the poors of the world) they end they’re lives living in broken hammocks. These are the 10 biggest of these shelters; 10 jails of nylon and plastic where we hide the war



Just to let you know, 7 of the 10 refugees camps who appear in this paper are in Africa. In places where the dust and the desolation play a rigged game against the hungry and the desease. In places like Dadaab in Kenia where they live 275.000 souls; like Bidi Bidi (Uganda) where wait 220.000 persons. Or like Kakuma in Kenia where live 163.000 human beens. They are all examples that the human been can live and harshes conditions of life and always find a window to hope.

10. The desert, home of the syrians
Located in the north of Jordania, the refugee camp of Zatari holds 77.000 refugees. They’re the sons of the Syrian conflict. It was established by the organization of the United Nations in colaboration with the jordan government in response to the bloody Syrian war. But, those… Those were the ones that couldn’t arrive to Europe because they didn’t have budget requested for the mafias. They live locked in 5km2; fenced and protected by the Jordan army. The refugee camp is at the same time their home and they’re jail because they cant go out of it with the permission of the jordan government. 
 
      
    The sands of the desert lift up the walls of sirian community in Jordania.

9. The three refugee camps of Daadab
Dadaab is a complex of 3 refugee camps in the keniat sabana. Together, they are the home for the huge part of the somalíes refugees that they been arriving since the decade of the 90. The sand threatens with advance every day and, therefore, flood the camp with his fine hand. The hyenas are a problem too. The camp of Daadab is formed for three big instalations: Dagahaley, Hagadera and Ifo, together they’re know as the ‘biggest refugee camp in the world’. As if that were not enough, the flood are a classic and they arrive periodical in order to plunge the park in the more absolut of the caos. 

 

The Daadab complex is the most crowded camp in the world. 

8. Welcome to the last park of the slavery
More than 80.000 souls take shelter of the desert in the refugee camp of Mbera (Mauritania). The major part of them are refugees from the neighbor, but a lot arrive as well from the RDC (Democratic Republic of Cong) or even from Ivory Coast. Things are complicated in a country where the people live with less than 1.25 dolars at the day; in a country where the slavery is still used in some places. Because, Mauritania was the last country in the world to abolish the slavery (did it in 1991); but It wasn’t till 2007 when it begun to punish who did it. 

       
         The desert of Mauritania keeps one of the last remainnings of slavery.
 
7. Jabalia, the exile of the palestinians
Jabalia is the most used refugee for the people of Palestinian people. Settle down in 1948, after the invasion of Israel, 35.000 refugees raised up these refugee camp in the north area of Gaza city. The population of these camp is 120.000 persons. The situation has worsened a lot since Israel forbade the acces to the walkers in 2007; because a lot of them found job on the other side of the border. Constans cuts of electrical power, poisoned water supply or high rates of unemployement are every day bread for these people. 

   
  Jabalia is cram full slum with no room left where the people have a hard living.

6. Bidi Bidi, total madness
Drawned for the sudaness conflict, almost 3.5 millons of natives had to go away from the country in 2013 to reach Uganda (one of the most permissives countries in Africa for the refugees) and other countries of central Africa. Almost 800. 000 persons landed in the first one. With these huge migration, the ancient british protectorate became one of the most hot spots of central Africa. In case that wasnt’t enough, the program ‘Food for the World’ cutted they supplies to the half due a strong lack of funds. 

    
       Bidi Bidi is complet madness in the high-volatile lands of central Africa. 

5. A jail made in ‘Europe’
In front of the doors of europe, in the greek island of Lesbos, wait 5.000 syrian refugees in a no very fancy camp (wich seems more like a clink). In the outside fence, one warning: “Welcome to moria prison”. Human Rights watchers have quality this facility as “a shame for all Europe”. And it’s a fair cualification, because the life conditions are some roof in there that even the major of Lesbos, Sypros Galianos, has descrive them as “similar to Guántamo”. That’s scary. 

   
         No borders, no nations: what a gospel for these new century.
 

4.The moonzon stalks the Ronhghya:
The moonzon, those impetous tropicals rains that stalk the south of Asia is the worst nightmare for the almost 1 million of muslims in the world who had been forgotten in the borders of Birmania and Bangladesh. It is belive, that the brutal repression that they’ve suffer has created a migration of 1 million persons. Just in case that these wasn’t enough, every year the moonzon arrives to their shores and lefts the camp partially destroyed, drawing all they’re life in torrent of devastation.


The hard rains know as moonzon are one of the worts threats for the Ronhigya.
 
3.Katumba is the oldest camp in the world
Katumba is not one of the biggest refugee camps in Africa, but one of the most elders in all world; thus was established 1972. What began like a settlement with out planning when the people of Burundi moved out to Tanzania to escape the massive genocide that was happening against the Tutsis. Since then, they’ve been isolated in the neighbor Tanzania, creating the oldest refugee camp in the world. The Katumba camp is home for 66.000 persons
 

          The Katumba refugee camp is the biggest refugee camp in the world. 

2.Dolo Allo: the oasis near the desert
The five refuge camps of Dolo Alo have become in one of the biggest sanctuaries for the somalies who are escaping from they’re home. So far there have been no attacks on the Ethiopian side of the border, still. However, the 201.123 refugees in the Dollo Allo camp they wait watchfull because an attack, on the other side of the border, has ocurred and has taken to many lives. The Dolo Allo camp is a refugee in the middle of the desert; a spot of peace in the middle of the most spooky desolation. 
 

         The camp of Dollo Allo is very close to the otraougeous Somalian border.

1. Trapped in a dead end
300.000 persons wait (indefinetly) in the capment of Bajaur in the border of the tribal área between Pakistán and Afganistán. Its one of the results of the bloody war against the talibans. Many of which are hidden in the settlement. On the other hand, they have to face the many problems that brings be hand to hand with the tribes of Pakistán: a non very tight family, broked down in a thousand of internal conflicts.

    
       They're trapped in the middle of armies, druglords and religious fanatics.

10 leyendas amazónicas para atisbar el corazón de la gran selva

La selva amazónica respira como un gigantesco ser vivo. Un cuerpo antiguo y primigenio cuyos secretos se enroscan en la noche de los tiempos y fluyen a través de sus arterias fluviales. El ser humano es solo un invitado en la gran partitura de su misterio; y su razón una rendija desde la que tan solo se pueden otear sus misterios. Un rugido que recorre la historia de la Amazonia al ritmo de leyendas y mitos tan increíbles como los mismos parajes que tallan la mayor selva del mundo.

¿Cómo nos venden las guerras?

Los estados crean marcos mentales para que la sociedad acepte guerras sin cuestionase los motivos que acabarán con la vida de centenares de personas Cada vez que un estado quiere iniciar o meterse en una guerra tiene que persuadir primero a su población . ¿Pero como lo hace? ¿Qué herramientas utilizan para convencer a la gente para que apoye – o participe – en un conflicto en el que probablemente mueran cientos o miles de personas?. Primero el estado que desee vender una guerra a su ciudadanos, tiene que convencerles de que es legítima; de que estamos en lo cierto; de que los de dentro son “ los buenos ” y los otros, los de fuera son los “malos”. Y, lo consigue, en gran medida, gracias a algunos medios de comunicación que, a menudo, y en contra de lo que debería ser su función, se convierten en el catalizador para los mensajes del gobierno, los grupos de presión, las élites financieras... Gran parte del flujo de información sobre el conflicto en ciernes intentará s

Comuna 13, donde el arte se convierte en el arma más poderosa

Una de las comunidades históricamente más peligrosa de Medellín y por ende del mundo entero, ha experimentado una brutal transformación como consecuencia de la entrada del arte social naturalista entre sus muros. En los años 80, la oscuridad del narcotráfico corrompió la ciudad y la Comuna 13 era el lugar ideal tanto como base de sus operaciones, como para esconder los restos, muchos de los cuales cadávares, que se desprendían de las mismas. Ahora, un grupo de jóvenes artistas están utilizando la naturaleza como arte para devolver la vida a un barrio diezmado por el conflicto armado y la pobreza.
