In this episode, our guest is miss Adila Rezayee she is living in Indonesia as a refugee for four years.

During her talk, she says that, In Indonesia refugees from different countries, backgrounds, races, religions or ages have the same daily activities because they have not the right to work or attend schools, colleges or universities, or any other activities. Most refugees spend their time staying in their rooms and keeping themselves busy with their smart devices like mobile phones and laptops. Usually, children should be busy with their school subject studies but unfortunately, in Indonesia, only a few refugee children spend around three to four hours with their studies while spend most of their time playing online games and scrolling social media.

Regarding living with refugees from different backgrounds she says that The privilege of living with refugees from different countries are too much like people from different countries have their own lifestyles, foods, cultures, languages so it could be a good chance to learn different languages or to learn to cook different foods from different countries like I have learnt Iranian food called Qorma Sabzi which is a new dish to me. Also, there are slight difficulties regarding living with refugees from different countries like parents should control their children if not there might be problems with other children.

Ezadullah Masiha is from the Qarabagh district of Ghazni Afghanistan, he has graduated from Kabul University and was forced to leave Afghanistan in August 2014 and currently living as a refugee in Pekanbaru city of Indonesia.

He has divided the refugees into three categories 1: under ages (single refugees who are under 18 years of age), 2: families (who are living with their siblings or spouses), and 3: overages (singles refugees who are over the age of 18).  He continues that Refugees in Indonesia have not the right to do outside activities, not allowed to move from one city to another, even they are not allowed to legally enroll in universities, also they are not allowed to invite guests or even their friends in their room during the night.

He adds that spending 7 up to 9 years without being able to support your family and loved one definitely puts you under extreme pressure. Also, in the last past few years, the Taliban groups have focused their operation on hazarajat provinces in Afghanistan, and the policy change of president trump and also Australian policy against refugees have slowed down the process of resettlement to the third country. These factors put a huge pressure on refugees to suffer from extremely bad mental health.

At least if you cant do other sports due to any reasons go for a walk that is much better than staying in your rooms all the time.
