Asian Country: I Hope and Boat Journey

asian country: That was two years ago, according to The Chronicle Herald. Now another chance may be disappearing for Saeed and thousands of other asylum seekers who have made it to this Southeast Asian country with dreams of finding better lives elsewhere. They arrived in nearby Indonesia, only to be told the sea is closed for anyone attempting to make the perilous boat journey south. The majority of people here, the U.S. takes them, Saeed said. I hope, he said Tuesday, seated outside his tiny house perched above the Ciliwung River. Now the U.S. they say no Somalian, no Iraq, no Syrian, no Iran, no Sudan. ... So maybe we will go to another place. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
