Marina Satti was shocked, who in her interview, amongst different issues, shared the truth that her father’s grave is in Komotini, as a result of there isn’t any Muslim cemetery in Athens, and subsequent to it there are anonymous graves of drowned refugees.
Talking to LIFO, the performer described a dystopian picture which sadly is the tough actuality that a lot of our fellow human beings are pressured to face.
Her father, who handed away in the course of the interval when the singer was getting ready for the Eurovision contest, is buried in Komotini, so she can not go to him as typically as she would really like. The reason being that within the capital of a European nation, with 1000’s of Muslim residents dwelling and dealing, the state has not offered for the development of a cemetery.
Probably the most surprising factor is that subsequent to her father’s grave, because the singer claims, there are graves with the identical date of loss of life and with none identify talked about. These are graves of people that drowned in shipwrecks and the authorities took all of them there. There are inscriptions similar to “26/5, Syria” and “9/1 Afghanistan”. Individuals who nobody is aware of who they had been and probably nobody will ever search for them since there was no identification of them.
That is a picture that has haunted Marina Satti maybe greater than the truth that her father is buried far-off.
«My dad died and we went to Komotini as a result of there isn’t any Muslim cemetery in Athens – when the journalists had been chasing me and saying I did not discuss to them I used to be going to the funeral, in a cemetery that’s far-off.
My dad is buried there, he is not in Athens and I can not go to him tomorrow if I need to. And whereas I feel that he’s there, far-off, alone – I’m haunted by this thought and this picture -, I abruptly look subsequent to him and see many graves with the identical date of loss of life: “26/5, Syria”.
They had been individuals who drowned in a shipwreck they usually had been all taken there, in some half-meter graves. I look the opposite means, “9/1 Afghanistan”, folks drowned in one other wreck. I do not know if I am extra haunted by the picture of my dad that seems each time I shut my eyes, or what occurred subsequent to him».
Within the continuation of her interview, Marina Satti referred to her household and the horrors of warfare that they confronted when at some point the bombing began in Sudan.
«My dad and his spouse and my sister left Sudan a yr and some months in the past as a result of abruptly, at some point, after they had been sitting effectively, the bombings began. We had been speaking on WhatsApp, for per week they had been locked of their home and abruptly, on a Friday, they left at evening.
They went to Port Sudan as a result of they went out into the neighborhoods with the tanks, the barrel would flip 360 levels and shoot the other way up, whoever Haro tooks”.
Probably the most tragic factor – and that is one thing that have to be stated – is that when her household got here to Greece, their odyssey continued since they might neither withdraw cash from their financial institution accounts, nor be acknowledged for his or her work and former service as docs.
From one second to the subsequent individuals who had their very own lives discovered themselves defenseless combating a every day wrestle for survival.
«That they had their very own clinic in Sudan, my sister was going to the Worldwide College, and after they got here to Greece they could not get cash from the financial institution. And since the city turned a ghost city, they entered and stole their home. I went to my dad’s spouse’s home at some point in September. She was crying, I requested her “what occurred?” and he replied “they entered the home and took all the things from us, the furnishings, the garments, the papers”.
My brother and I had been making an attempt to assist them a bit with some issues, with badges, as a result of my dad was a health care provider in Greece, in Hippocrates, for a few years, and we could not as a result of their levels had been misplaced and we could not discover them in Sudan. In a single day, individuals who had a great life ended up with nothing, individuals who helped poor folks with most cancers, operated on them totally free, could not pay the lease. Then my dad died.»
