My name is Malik and I am 39 years old. I was born in Afghanistan. My religion is different from the main religion in Afghanistan.
ንብዙሕ ዓመታት ከም ናትይ ሃይማኖት ተኸተልቲ ሰባት ክስደዱ ጸኒሖም እዮም። እዚ ንስድራይ ኣዝዩ ከቢድ እዩ ኔሩ።
For many years, people who belong to my religion have been persecuted. This has been very difficult for my family.
ቅድሚ ሒደት ዓመታት ኲናት ነይሩ። ከይቅተል ፈሪሐ። ሓድሽ ህይወት ንምጅማር ስድራይ ገዲፈ ናብ ኣውሮፓ ከይደ።
A few years ago there was a war. I was afraid I would be killed. I left my family to go to Europe and start a new life.
ንብዙሕ ኪሎሜተራት ብእግረይ ተጓዒዘ። ሓድሓደ ግዜ ምግቢ ኣይረክብን ኔረ ዝሓድረሉ ቦታ ‘ውን ኣይነበረንን። ሓደሓደ ካብቶም ምሳይ ዝተጓዓዙ ሰባት ሞይቶም እዮም።
I walked for many kilometres. Sometimes I had no food and nowhere to stay. Some of the people I travelled with died.
ኣብ መወዳእታ በጺሐ። ኣብኡ ደቂ ዓደይ ሰባት ረኺበ ሓገዝ ‘ውን ግይሮሙለይ። ብዘይ ብኣታቶም እንታይ ምገበርኩ ኔረ ኣይፈልጥን።
Finally I arrived. I met some people from my own country who helped me. I do not know what I would have done without them.
እቲ ቛንቋ ክመሃር ጀሚረ ግን ከቢድ እዩ። ስራሕ ንምርካብ ነቲ ቛንቋ ምዝራብ ኣገዳሲ ምዃኑ ይፈልጥ እየ።
I started to learn the language, but it was hard. I knew that speaking the language was important to get a job.
ኣብ መጀመርታ ነቲ ቛንቋ ንምምሃር ንብዙሕ ዓመታት ኣጽኒዐ። ከቢድ እዩ ነይሩ ኮይኑ ግን ሓደሽቲ ነገራት ምምሃር ባህ ይብለኒ እዩ።
I studied for several years, at first to learn the language. It was hard, but I enjoy learning new things.
ምስ ተመሃርኩ ስራሕ ጀሚረ። መጀመርታ ኣብ ቤት ምግቢ ሰሪሐ። ድሕሪኡ ንኻልኦት ክሕግዝ ስለ ዝደሊ መምህር ኮይነ።
After studying I started working. First I worked in a restaurant, and then I became a teacher because I want to help others.
ሓደ መዓልቲ ናብ ኣፍጋኒስታን ከም ዝምለስ ተስፋ እገብር። ኣብኡ ዘለዉ ብዙሓት ሰባት ሓገዝ የድልዮም እዩ። ኣነ ድማ ክሕግዞም ይደሊ እየ።
I hope to go back to Afghanistan one day. Many people there need help, and I want to help them.
