Sayed, an afhgan refugee stucked in Indonesia

Sayed Muhammad Nabi is a friend I met in Indonesia during a residency at the French Institute in the city of Surabaya. Sayed is an Afghan refugee. He had to leave his country because of death threats he was receiving from Taliban extremists in the area where he lived with his mother and brothers. He was a student at the University of Kabul, studying for a degree in literature, where he learned to speak English and French. That is why he and his family received threats. He was a translator for the French army and other Western organizations. He had no choice but to leave and abandon his studies, his future, his family. While he was on the road, the Taliban came to his house and killed his older brother. The roads to Europe were too dangerous, so he chose to go to Indonesia because he had information that the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) was helping refugees in Indonesia to get a visa, a permit to stay in a safe country for them. Unfortunately, this is the country where his journey has stopped since 2013 and his life has been on hold ever since. We met in 2019. Now in 2022, it has been 9 years since he has been housed in a refugee center on the outskirts of Surabaya in East Java. The refugee status in Indonesia does not allow him to build a life. Indeed, the Indonesian government forbids him to study, to work, to marry, to own property. He is forced to wait for a successful visa application for another country. Taken in charge by IOM (International Organization for Migration), financed by Australia in their mission in this region of Southeast Asia. Australia via IOM is simply outsourcing its borders, which the Australian government closed in 2013. Like thousands of other refugees in his situation, Sayed waits, he remains active within the limits that the Australian government allows him. Indonesia is an open-air prison for him, where he cannot undertake anything. He sees the years go by, it is as if his life was stolen from him. Some visa applications are successful, but too few. And refugees, like Sayed, have no visibility on the process of their applications. There is, however, a way out of this situation for Sayed. His Canadian friend, to whom he gives Farsi lessons by video, explains. In Canada, groups of five private citizens and community organizations can sponsor refugees to come to Canada. These groups are responsible for raising the necessary funds to sponsor the refugee and to guide the refugee in his or her adjustment to life in Canada. To sponsor a single refugee, a group must raise $16,500 Canadian to support the refugee for the first year. Then his visa application could be successful and he could finally live his life. If you wish to participate in the fundraising, here is the link with the explanation of Mariam Ali, her friend who undertook this process. https://chuffed.org/project/my-friend...
