“But we’re pretending to hold out with all our strength
Because we want to
Because we are forced
Because if we let go our pieces no longer set together, will fall apart” ⁦💔 Zouhour Alkhaled (Homs & Inverurie) ⁦@Aberdeenshire⁩ ⁦@FriendsAmal⁩ https://t.co/swofcddx0Q

I’ve had pleasure of meeting some of the New Scots community in my role & have been moved by their stories & inspired by their courage & what they bring to our communities. Definitely worth celebrating! @Aberdeenshire @FriendsAmal @NorthEP #RefugeeFestScot #AyeWelcomeRefugees

Families who manage the brutal process of displacement and then resettlement are equipped to be change makers - given time, security, support and social bonds #NewScots #RefugeeResettlement @migrationscot @JFCrisp @scotrefcouncil @Aberdeenshire

Our light for Syria.
Marking 10 years of conflict, we stand with and pray for our Syrian friends today. #Syria10 #ScotlandWithSyria

[Bikes for Refugees (Scotland) 🧡 @Bikes4Refugees]

Today marks 10yrs of the Syrian conflict. The Syrian people continue to face great hardship with 80% of the pop estimated to be living in poverty with ongoing human rights violations a concern.
We stand in solidarity with our Syrian friends & remember those that have suffered 🕊

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

Being forced to flee isn't a choice. No one chooses to be a refugee.

[Katie MacLean @MacLeanKatie]

Ten cruel years of conflict in Syria. Take a quiet minute to listen to Bushra. Unlike the Syrian kids in @Aberdeenshire @FriendsAmal her life’s still in jeopardy. Twelve million people displaced and still no hope. We won’t give up on you Boushra 😞💔#Syria10 #ScotlandwithSyria

Wafa's dad hasn't been heard from since being detained by the Syrian government.

Ten years since the start of the war, we speak to refugees about their experiences.
