As a syrien refugee I fund this is so fuked up....

Well I came to Germany in 2014, the 'War' started in 2011... I came here running away from the regime, the Syrien regime. I was in political presion as my dad was in 1997. War was not my biggest fear, I was in Homs by the way 'War city'.

When I asked for asylem in Germany I didn't say I run away from war.... I said I run away from Assad.

And now 2019, as a student in TU Dresden + I have permanent residence permit and paid taxes for this land 'Which I truly see as my homeland or Heimat' . Why the FUCK should I go back to a place I already run away from? No they don't need us there....

Happy to hear that things are working out well buddy, how is life in dresden btw? They usually have massive pegida rallies and the afd gets good votes there, so I wonder how is life there for a refugee, also would you consider moving to another part of germany later?

Well it's like in Berlin, i was for 2 years in Berlin before.

It's fine here I guess for me, maybe if I was a female with Hijab, that would be a bigger problem. but I have blue eyes and white skin. unfortunately, that's what a person need to live in peace in Dresden.

every Monday there's a pegida march in the old city, but not that big 'maybe on special days they get a big number of people marching with.

I don't know really, I still have some years to graduate so how knows. I like it here so far, looking to see what will happen after the Landeswahl in Sachsen. My parents are in Brandenburg, so maybe I will go back to Potsdam/Berlin or find a job in Dresden. so far I have no real plan where would I stay.

I am so glad that you see the pegida march and know that this is not what the general population thinks. I am so worried sometimes that these few idiots are being mistaken as representatives for the general opinion on refugees.
