My family are #WarSurvivors . My parents never knew what no war felt like until we came to Canada as war refugees - they lived through wars for their whole lives til we fled. I was conceived in a bomb shelter. Born while active shelling was happening.
No one really wants to flee only homes they ever knew with only basic supplies. As war survivors, we never wanted revenge. We wanted peace. We wanted safety to live simple daily life. As victims of violent war, we only wanted the violence to end.
I want people to remember that the agents of war machines treat all civilians like we are empty traffic cones that they can shoot up & not feel bad about. I want people to remember the folks who suffer most aren't elites. We were desperate citizens trapped under corrupt govts ego sieges. We hate ALL violent, take everything by force governments!
