lyrics

Joshua is a refugee from Nigeria. In the spring of 2019, he was part of an independently organised group of refugees in Iceland that initiated protests against Iceland’s immigration/refugee policies.
The group hoped to be heard by society and the government, demanding a better and more humane treatment of asylum seekers in Iceland, an end to the deportations, equal access to health care, the right to work, the closing of isolated refugee camps, and a substantial review for all applications for asylum.
Like many other refugees from Africa, Joshua reached Europe on a small boat landing on the shores of Italy. There he lived on the streets for several years until he managed to come to Iceland.
Eventually his case got rejected in Iceland and he was deported back to Italy.
