ISLP 合作舉辦「難民關注」埃塞俄比亞服務計劃，參加者到非洲埃塞俄比亞首都亞的斯亞貝巴了解城市難民 所面對的種種問題，並在當地的耶穌會難民服務機構 (JRS) 進行關懷服務。參加者透過教學和活動，向難民 送上關懷並建立友誼。同時亦嘗試建立當地的大學生網絡，希望讓當地的難民獲得可持續的關懷和支援，並透 過不同的渠道，把人道訊息傳播給香港的朋輩及公眾人士，引起香港社會對國際人道議題的關注。

International Humanitarian Service Leadership Program (ISLP) is a project of Hong Kong Red Cross in nurturing university students as youth humanitarian leaders with global

humanitarian vision and actions within their ability. "Refugee Concern" is one of the projects on ISLP platform. Since 2007, students from The Hong Kong Institute of Education have been keeping their eyes on the issue of urban refugees in the capital of Ethiopia -

Addis Ababa, holding service trips annually in the community centre of Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) to show their concerns and care to comrades from the other part of the globe, and to raise the public awareness of refugees.

埃塞俄比亞與六個國家接壤，分別是索馬里、厄立垂亞、吉布提、肯亞、 蘇丹及南蘇丹。這一帶一直受到不同程度的政治、社會及環境衝擊，大量平民流離失所，甚或被迫逃離原籍國。

自 2009 年起，逃難到埃塞俄比亞的難民人數不斷增加。雖然這片土地的資源不算豐富，但為了應付新增的 難民，埃塞俄比亞在邊境新建了多個難民營，如東部吉吉加地區 (Jijiga) 胡巴利 (Aw

營地、沙達 (Sheder)

營地、布拉汶盧 (Bur Amino) 營地、東南部多洛阿多 (Dolo Ado) 附近地區等。

Ethiopia is bordered by six countries, including Federal Republic of Somalia, the State of Eritrea, the Republic of Djibouti, the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan.

These countries have been undergoing different levels of instabilities in politics, conflicts in society and problems in the environment. As a result, numerous refugees manage to escape from their own country of origin every year.

Since 2009, the number of refugees has been increasing in Ethiopia. Despite the lack of resources, new refugee camps have been built. They are located near the border,

走難只是簡單的兩個字，但走難的過程卻甚至比我們能想象 的更加艱辛和殘酷。一位在埃塞爾比亞接待難民的機構負責人表示：「難民身無分文，較幸運的或許能乘大巴 或貨車來到埃塞俄比亞；較不幸的則要攀山涉水徒步走來，路途由幾星期、幾個月甚至以年計不等。」而由於 缺乏資訊，縱然他們千辛萬苦地來到了埃塞俄比亞，卻可能還要再多耗廢 2 至 3 天才能找到難民營獲得庇護。

The toughness and cruelty within the escape are beyond imagination. According to the spokesperson of an organisation which deals with refugee issue in Ethiopia, "Refugees lack money. For the lucky ones, they can get on buses or trains to flee. For the unlucky ones, they need to spend weeks, months or even years to walk across lands, mountains and rivers in order to make it to Ethiopia". The staff member added that since refugees lack access to information, they often need two to three more days to find the locations of refugee camps after arriving in Ethiopia.

難民故事 { 過去 _the past }

我痛恨戰爭這劊子手

i hate war, the executioner.

我曾經是童兵 成為軍人從來都不是我的志願，但我卻被軍隊抓去了當童兵。 兒時的我年紀太小，逃難時不懂得好好隱藏，結果被警察發現，還讓士兵把我捉去接受軍隊訓練。那時候更徒 步走了兩天，才到達訓練場地，實在令人倦透！可是，地獄般的生活才剛要開始……在軍隊中的訓練，學習使 用槍械、學習使用手榴彈已在所難免。但殘酷的是，這些練習都不能敷衍了事，要是失敗，達不到分數，便會 受到懲罰，被鞭打、被虐待，那種痛，我還記得。

那段日子，真的很苦很苦！

I WAS ONCE A SOLDIER WHEN STILL A KID It was never my wish to be a soldier. But I was caught by the military group and forced to become one, even I was just a kid.

I was too young back then, not knowing how to hide myself well when I tried to flee to Eritrea. The police found me and I was taken to military training. It took me two whole days of walk to reach the training site. I was completely exhausted! were in hell.

I began to live as if I

I was bound to learn how to use guns and bombs in military training. But the

intimidating part was that if I failed in the training or did not achieve certain points during practices, I would be punished and beaten

up. I still remember the pain.

Military training life was indeed a living hell. Training started

early in the morning but ended late at night. After the tremendous workload, all I could get was one or two pieces of bread, not to mention changing my clothes. At night, I could only squeeze in and 'sleep' with other kids in a narrow space. It could not be regarded as

'sleeping' at all. In fact, there were more than ten children standing in a tiny room all night.

Those days were hard, very hard indeed.

/ 難民營的情況 世界上大多數的難民都生活在鄰國的邊境。一些較好的難民營容納了數千人，但生活條件 非常艱苦。UNHCR 把這六百萬難民歸類為面對「持久戰」的情況，因為一個難民在難民 營中度過的平均時間為 17 年。在難民營中，食物和水的供應非常不穩，難民亦往往不准離 開營地或在營外工作。暴力，特別是強姦，極為常見。 埃塞俄比亞邊境一些難民營每日平均有 10 位五歲以下兒童死亡，主要因為兒童營養不良和 營內過度擁擠而導致衛生條件欠佳，營內驚人的兒童死亡率受到關注。 /

/ The situation in refugee camp The majority of the world's refugees live in countries bordering their own. Some refugee camps can hold thousands of people, in conditions that are, at best, very difficult.

For the six million refugees in what UNHCR classifies as "protracted situations", the average length of time spent in a refugee camp is 17 years. Food and water supplies are unpredictable and refugees are often not allowed to leave or work outside the camp.

Violence, especially rape, is common.

Some camps in along the border of Ethiopia are warned with the alarming rate of child mortality in the camp, an average of 10 children under the age of five die every day.

Refugees are at risk of malnutrition and poor hygiene due to the overcrowding. /

/ 為甚麼會有城市難民 ? 如果難民能證明他們有迫切的醫療、防護或人道需要（如 家庭團結），可被允許離開難民營，遷移到城市地區。 /

/ Why are there urban refugees?

Refugees of any nationality are allowed to take up residence in an urban area if they can demonstrate that they have pressing medical, protection or humanitarian needs (e.g. family unity). /

等待是世上最苦的過程 因為是難民，在生活上遇到不少的困難－大人無法工作，小孩不易上學。無數的青 春，最後只虛耗於等待上，等待難民審批、等待援助、等待重新安置、等待重享公 民權利……無休止地等待。

在亞的斯亞貝巴的城市難民，只

能接受只能糊口的救濟，即使有專長希望自食其力，也不獲准工作。難民能做的， 就是每天無所事事，靜待安置，成為公民。 成年的難民也不易過活，更何況是小朋友。雖然他們能待於 JRS，但畢竟只是難民 中心而已，是以託管為主， 而且學生程度參差，不可能取代正規學校。加上，我所 教授的都是基本知識及簡單的英語。幸好，國際難民公署為小孩提供小學程度教育， 但資源有限，上中學是不容易的事。 有部分小孩，在原籍國的教育不俗，但由於逃難時過於倉促，帶不了什麼，當然也 不會有證書。結果，即使他們讀書成績再好，也沒有機會升讀大學，只能每天虛耗 光陰！

慶幸的是，世上還有很多人願意伸出援手，像 JRS 這裏，

只要他們願意前來，我就會耐心教導他們。而且 JRS 為他們提供午飯及小吃，令他 們無須擔憂捱餓。

BEING REFUGEES...

Refugees encounter numerous difficulties - adults cannot work and it is not easy for children to go to school. Time is wasted on

endless waiting, waiting for the approval of refugee application, waiting for assistance to come, waiting for resettlement, waiting for enjoying their civil rights once again...

Urban refugees in Ethiopia can only receive alms. Even if they are capable of working, they are not allowed to do so. Not much alms will be given and they cannot earn their own living even if they want to. Doing nothing every day, refugees can only wait for their settlement and to acquire citizenship again. Life is hard for children as well. Though they can stay at JRS, it is not a school after all. I can only teach them English and some basic knowledge. JRS focuses on taking care of children but it can never replace schools that offer proper education. Fortunately, elementary education is provided

by UNHCR for children so they can still go to school. Yet, it is not easy studying at high school. Some children once had good results at school but as they ran away from their countries, they did not bring along their certificates. As a result, they cannot study

in university although they have good academic results. Their time is wasted every day. However, they do not have to worry so much as there are still people willing to give a helping hand. As long as they come to JRS, I will teach them. Lunch and snacks are provided here so they do not have to worry about being hungry.

/ 城市難民有甚麼支援？ 埃塞俄比亞的城市難民主要在國內大城鎮，特別是亞的 斯亞貝巴 (Addis Ababa) 和迪雷達瓦 (Dire Dawa) 生活。 耶穌會難民服務機構 (JRS) 在亞的斯亞貝巴為城市難民 提供援助，包括短暫的緊急財政 ( 住宿及食物 ) 援助，輔 導及難民社區中心，透過活動提升城市難民的自信和促 進自力更生的能力。 /

/ What support that Urban refugees received ?

Urban refugees are found in major towns of Ethiopia, especially Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) is an organization in Addis Ababa that provides financial assistance to enable refugees to meet the cost of food and safe accommodation in Addis Ababa, counselling services, and activities in Refugee Community Centre to build urban refugees' self-confidence and promote self-reliance. /

the homeland that I have never set my foot on.

TOO LATE TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK OF MY HOME COUNTRY There are now 7 members in my family living together, including my parents, brother, sister, a pair of twin sisters and me. I came into the

world after my parents migrated to Ethiopia, and was born inside a tent of the border refugee camp, which is called Damazin.

Although Damazin is my place of birth, I do not like Damazin because there are too many miserable memories in the refugee camp!

My parents told me that I should have grandparents,

yet the civil war of our country made me lost them forever. They said that some soldiers went to our village that day, setting fire to the whole village, even killing people later on. If my family members did not take the lead to run to the open field, all of us would have died.

In the end, our village was burnt up and my family decided go to the refugee camp in Ethiopia. Later, my grandpa and grandma could not endure any further, they passed away during the fleeing. I really hope that I could take a good look at my grandparents, and my country.

I know that there are people still suffering in my country, despite the fact that I do not know their exact living conditions as I only heard these stories from my parents. Since I was born in the refugee camp in Ethiopia, the one my parents left their homeland and took refuge in, I did not even have a chance to catch a sight of my country. In fact, I do not know how does my country look like; everything I know came from my parents' mouths, and I can only

learn my country by imagination. I believe that my country must be very, very bad so that my mother and father would leave their homeland. I wanted to go home, but I can't. As long as the war

does not end, I cannot go back as it would be too dangerous!

走向異鄉的夢想 我現在在亞的斯亞貝巴過佷還不錯。這裏沒有打架，我們都很安全，但我還是想離 開這裏。如果可以，我想去加拿大或者美國。我想學好英文，那麼，只要我的國家 重歸和平時，我就可以回去辦一所學校，幫助我國家的人了！

我想，要停止戰

爭，我做不到，但是我仍然能做點甚麼吧！至少，我想在我的國家裏辦一所學校， 讓那裏的小朋友有個安身之所，能夠放心學習。他們一定要學懂英文，因為只有這 樣，我們才能告訴全世界，我們的國家正在發生多麼悲傷的事，不論大人，還是小 朋友，都過得很慘……

如果我可以開辦一所學校，我希望能像 JRS

那樣，上午是學習時間，下午是遊戲時間，讓每個學生都能喜歡那裏。而且不收費 用，只要小朋友願意，他們就可以來，還要提供免費午飯和茶點。我希望他們的生 活就像我在 JRS 般無憂無慮，快快樂樂，能夠毫無顧慮地上學、休息、玩耍。 如 果我可以和全家人一起去外國，就最好了，那麼我們就不用分開。而且，當我回去 我的國家辦學時，哥哥就可以在外國繼續工作，資助我的學校，那我就可以免費讓 他們讀書，學習英文，吃飽飽睡飽飽，還可以玩足球和籃球！真是想起都覺得開心！

Birth registration is an important protection tool, it establishes a child's identity, but it does not itself confer nationality upon a child. The process for registering births is distinct from the process whereby individuals acquire nationality, which usually happens automatically at birth.

This constitutes a key form of proof of whether a person has acquired nationality by birth on territory or descent, which are the most common bases for acquisition of nationality at birth. /

ETHIOPIA ------ THE PLACE WHERE I FLED TO I am Merhawi. I am already 16 years old and it has been five years since I left Eritrea for Ethiopia. I stayed for four years in the refugee camps at the border of Shemelba. It was not until my Dad caught Malaria that we got to the capital for the treatment of his disease, which was the time when we became refugees in the city.

My country has been in

regional conflicts with Ethiopia throughout the years.

What was worse was that most of the people in my country are poor. Everybody suffered from starvation.

Dad once told me that our country is poor and most of its people are unemployed. We would eventually die of starvation without a job if we stayed. Therefore he took our family away from the country. Our country

is indeed very poor. No one gets a job. Everyone suffers from hunger. So many people left for Ethiopia in search of a better living conditions. We followed the tide and walked for such a long period of time.

We had to be careful, extremely careful. If our escape was discovered by the government force, we would be caught back to our country and never have a chance to flee.

I believed that we are

the lucky ones. At least we arrived the border without obstacles along our way. Also, once we stepped into Ethiopia, the soldiers there immediately sent us to the refugee camps.

SOMETHING MISSING OUT OF OUR NEW STABLE LIVES

Finally, we settled down in Ethiopia and started our new lives. I have been to JRS for a year until now. I am glad that I have come to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which is a big city that makes me feel secure. But if I had a chance to choose, I still hope that I were

living in my home country. It may not be a paradise though, it has its own beauty.

In my home country,

we had been having happy lives. Every one of us are nice and kind.

We are willing to help each other. Even if you leave something by accident, no one would take it. We lived like a family. Because we are a family, we do not cheat on, nor take advantage of each other. How I miss the affectionate relationship between each other!

Yet, only my parents are here by my side. I am graceful indeed that my parents are here by my side, but sometimes I would still miss the happiness I used to have, and those relatives and friends who are not here with me. How are they doing?

我只想在異國中團聚 更讓我思念的，是我兩個哥哥。我們真的很久不見了…… 現在我在埃塞俄比亞的家只剩下三個人了。我有一個哥哥還留在國內，但是從我們 的國家來埃塞俄比亞的路已經被我國士兵封鎖了，他來不了。而那個與我一起來到 埃塞俄比亞的哥哥，也到了美國去繼續學業了。我的那些親戚、朋友、鄰居呢？都 在走難中逐漸走遠了，只有少數和我一樣，到了埃塞俄比亞，到了亞的斯亞貝巴， 還可以偶爾共聚。

幸好，在 JRS 裏大家都像一家人，彷彿

重回了故鄉。現在，我每天放學後都會來 JRS，在這裏我認識了很多朋友。因為這 裏還有很多很小的孩子，作為較年長的哥哥，我很想好好照顧他們，就像一家人般， 互相照應。我也很慶幸能在這裏學習，尤其是學習英文，還得到這麼多朋友、家人。 還在我們的國家時，我和家人可以天天見面。只是現在，我們已經不能再回去，也 難以再見了。現在，我只想到美國去，見我的哥哥，最好，我那還在國內的哥哥也 可以到美國去，這樣，我們就可以一家團聚了！

我希望

將來能夠前往美國，和哥哥團聚，以及成為真正的公民。想去美國，是因為我想學 好英文；想學好英文，是因為只要學好英文，我就可以好好與其他人，尤其是與外 國人溝通；想和外國人溝通，是因為這樣我就可以讓世界上的人知道，在我祖國發 生的事，在我們這些難民身上發生的事。然後，大家都會伸出援手，幫助那些在走 難中失散了的家庭找回親人，重新團聚。

When my family was still in our home country, we could meet each other every day. Now, however, I could never go back. I only hope to go to the US to meet my brother. It would be even better if my other brother in my home country could go to the US, so that my family can enjoy the happiness for reunion. I hope to go to the US to meet my brother in the future, and be a real citizen there. I hope to go to the US because I hope to learn

English well. I would like to learn it well because as long as I speak English well, I could communicate with others, especially with English speakers.

That way, I could let the world knows about what has happened in my home country, and what has happened to refugees like us. People around the world will then lean a helping hand and help those who are separated with their families during the flee to meet their beloved ones again.

We planned to collect pictures of refugee children to make a booklet, passing the message of "Start over" - the theme of our team this year, and the message of living with hope.

I have experienced a lot during the journey. Children held my hands with smiles in refugee center, local volunteers from Ethiopian Red Cross Society greeted with hugs in Ethiopian style. I fully

experienced their warm welcome and love through these simple gestures.

Sometimes, when I looked out from my coach, there were always children chasing cars to beg money. Some teenagers squatted down to polish shoes for customers. The sheepherders herd sheep and workers carried several wooden trays by their heads on the street. The country is not well developed,

but their hard work is paid and the standard of living is improving. I admire the spirit and persistence towards their lives.

People may have no choices of their home countries and families, but they have rights to choose their own lifestyles and thinking.

I am grateful to have a chance to experience life in Ethiopia. It was an unforgettable and meaningful journey. "Start over" is not only a theme of my team, but it also applies in my heart and mind. Now, I believe I have passion to continue my work.

香港難民事件簿

TIMELINE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF REFUGEE PROTECTION IN HONG KONG

1930

中日戰爭及國共內戰期間，大批中國難民逃難到香港避戰。

1950

Many mainlanders fled to Hong Kong to escape from the Chinese Civil War and the SinoJapanese War.

1975

越戰結束，北越統一越南，引發逃亡潮。 載有 3743 越南人的丹麥註冊貨船「長春號」到達香港，船上的首批越南難民獲得全數收容。

Hong Kong received its first wave of Vietnamese refugees after South Vietnam was annexed by North Vietnam. A 3,743-strong refugee group was found arriving on board the Danish freighter Clara Mærsk and were accepted as refugees.

1979

聯合國難民署於 1979 年在香港成立常駐辦事處，以應對當時大量湧港的越南難民（船民）。

Permanent office of the UNHCR established in 1979 to cope with the influx of Vietnamese boat people.

page 75

1979.07

港英政府在日內瓦簽署國際公約，把香港列作「第一收容港」，不符合甄別標準的難民須被遣返。

Hong Kong adopted the "port of first asylum policy" after The United Nations convened an international conference in Geneva, Switzerland, stating that "a grave crisis exists in Southeast Asia for hundreds of thousands of refugees".

1980

香港收容的難民已超過十萬人。

Hong Kong received over 100,000 Vietnamese at the peak of migration.

1988.06.16

港英政府實行「甄別政策」，把政治難民定義為「難民」而 某求安穩生活的經濟移民稱為「船民」，並視為非法入境者。

The government adopted a Comprehensive Plan of Action on 16 June 1988, separating political refugees (classified as refugees) from economic refugees (classified as "boat people"). Economic refugees were considered illegal immigrants.

1990

港英政府開始遣返「船民」。

Vietnamese boat people were denied the right to be transferred to a third country and were all sent back to Vietnam.

1996

由於香港政府沒有簽署 1951 年聯合國《關於難民地位公約》，並且沒有制定相關法律框架監管庇護權的授予， 因此聯合國難民署按照它的工作職能肩負起了香港主要的難民工作，包括甄別難民地位、援助尋求庇護者和難 民，以及謀求和促進長遠解決難民問題的方案（多為重新安置方案）。

Because Hong Kong is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and has no legal framework governing the granting of asylum UNHCR carried the main responsibility for refugee status determination, assistance to asylum-seekers and refugees, as well as the identification and promotion of durable solutions (mostly resettlement) under its mandate.

1998.01.09 香港政府取消「第一收容港」政策。

Hong Kong's status as a first port of asylum was revoked.

2000.02.21

香港特區政府宣布了《擴大本地收容計劃》，允許所有在港越南難民和船民（約 2400 人）申領香港身份證成為本地居民。

The Hong Kong SAR Government announced the Widened Local Resettlement Scheme that allowed all Vietnamese refugees and boat people remaining in Hong Kong (about 2,400 people) to apply for Hong Kong identification cards and become local residents.

2000.07

隨著最後一個難民營的關閉，越南難民和船民時代正式結束。

The last refugee camp closed, marking the official end of the Vietnamese refugees and the boat people saga.

香港難民事件簿

timeline on the development of refugee protection in hong kong

2005

由 1975 至 2005 年，短短 30 年間，本港已收容超過 20 萬名難民，約 14.4 萬人獲得外國 收容，約 2400 名難民融入本港生活，並有約 5.8 萬名船民被遣返。

From 1975 to 2005, approximately 200,000 boat people arrive in Hong Kong, in which 144,000 were resettled in third countries, 58,000 were repatriated to country of origin, and 1,400 were offered local integration.

2006.06

由社會福利署逐漸接管援助最脆弱的尋求庇護人士的工作。

The Hong Kong SAR Government takes over responsibility for the care and maintenance of the most vulnerable asylum seekers through the Social Welfare Department.

2013.07

香港政府在立法會保安事務委員會上公布了採用統一審核機制 (USM) 的計劃。統一審核機制將用於審查基於以下三項理由提出的不驅回申請：(a) 《聯合國禁止酷刑 和其他殘忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或處罰公約》中定義的酷刑 ( 就《禁止酷刑公約》提出的申請 )；(b)《香港人權法案》第 3 條限定的酷刑和其他殘忍、不人道 或有辱人格的待遇或處罰 ( 就《香港人權法案》第 3 條提出的申請 )；和 / 或 (c) 1951 年《關於難民地位公約》第 33 條原則規定的迫害 ( 迫害申請 )。

The Administration announced its plan to introduce the Unified Screening mechanism (USM) at the Legislative Council's Panel on Security.

The USM to be launched for screening non-refoulement claims on grounds of (a) torture as defined under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT claims); (b) torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment under Article 3 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights (BOR Article 3 claims); and/or (c) persecution with reference to the principle under Article 33 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (persecution claims).

2014.03.03

統一審核機制開始實施。難民署的職能逐漸轉變，在難民和庇護政策上更多地擔任顧問的角色。

The Unified Screening Mechanism launched. UNHCR transitioned to an advisory role in regards to refugee and asylum policy, marking a major development in the agency's goals under its mandate.
