At the End of the Line, in a Zone

Since gaining independence from Britain and Egypt in 1956, Sudan has racial, religious, and sectarian South Sudan has been an independent country since 2011, and has undergone civil war, armed and violence for more than 5 years. 2.4 million South Sudanese people have become refugees, and 1,800,000 people are internally displaced. In such a dangerous and unstable Dr. Atar also had to leave his home and

Originally from Torit, in southern South Sudan, Dr. Atar, received a scholarship to study medicine in Khartoum and later in Egypt. In 1997, he moved to Kurmuk, in Sudan’s Blue Nile State, at the heart of a major where for 12 years, during bombing raids, he ran a basic hospital wounded civilians as well as from both sides. However, under intense bombing, he and his team joined Sudanese across the border to South Sudan. Dr. Atar packed up the hospital in four cars and a tractor. There were no roads during the rainy season as the rivers were and it took him a month to arrive on the other side.

In 2011, when he arrived in Maban’s main town, Bunj, Dr. Atar performed his on a raised table in an theatre that he built inside an

Interview With You: Korean Religious Leaders

Yemeni Refugees on Jeju Island

In the Catholic community, the Diocese of Jeju and Naomi Center for Migrants (Director Father HONG Seok-Yun and Manager KIM Sang-hoon) have been leading the to protect and support Yemeni asylum-seekers. We met with Bishop Peter KANG U-il of the Diocese of Jeju to hear about the Yemenis on Jeju Island.

Bishop Peter KANG U-il, Roman Catholic Diocese of Jeju

Q1. In July you issued a pastoral urging people to accept and support the Yemeni refugees. Could you tell us how the came about and what it asked people to do?

Soon his Pope Francis visited Lampedusa in Italy, and urged for more support for refugees. In the beginning, I thought refugees was only a natural thing to do. But soon we faced the and there were doubts even among parishioners about our work with refugees, so I felt the need to clarify where I stood as the Bishop. I believe this is an issue not just for Jeju but for the country. I issued the pastoral with a hope that every Korean would feel troubled by how we are refugees.

We are living in an global era where not only borders and cultures but all areas of our life are connected. In like this, we need to have the heart for coexistence and coprosperity and the as global Especially, for Koreans who have experienced violence, and through the Korean War and Jeju Uprising, refugee issues are not irrelevant to us. I believe refusing entry of people who had to from civil war to save their lives, like Yemenis and Syrians is an act that denies basic human rights. As global we must on our and with open hearts and compassion, must be able to warmly welcome those who themselves in

Q2. In late July, Apostolic Nuncio to Korea, Archbishop Alfred Xuereb met with the Yemeni asylum-seekers and delivered the message of solidarity and 10,000 Euros from Pope Francis.

Yes, Pope Francis is pleased with our to welcome and help the Yemeni refugees, and has

sent his encouragement through the Apostolic Nuncio. He has expressed his support for and interest in the refugee issues in Korea.

Q3. When it comes to the “refugee crisis” in Jeju, where do we need to work on the most — on a community, region, or personal level? What would be your

thoughts and accept cultures and values of other ethnic groups. Any culture has its unique values, but our culture will grow and when we acknowledge, accept and embrace diverse values.

Policymakers need to consider refugee policies of countries that are more open to refugees, such as Italy, Germany and the United States, where a lot more refugees have been welcomed than in Korea. I think Korea has the economic and cultural capacity and to accept more refugees and embrace them.

Q4. In your opinion, what do the Yemeni refugees need the most right now?

A lot of the Yemeni refugees are young men. They had to their homes from forcible amidst war and They are a lifeline for the families they’ve had to leave behind back home. They do not want to simply rely on help from Koreans. They want to work and provide for their families. It is my hope that policies will be implemented to allow the Yemeni refugees to make a living while they are here.

To hear from the Buddhist community, WithYou met with a Gwaneumsa monk and deputy director of Jeju Buddhist for Yemeni Refugees*.

Muwon, Buddhist monk and Director of Social Services & KIM Yong-Beom, deputy director of Jeju Buddhist for Yemeni Refugees

Q1. The Jeju Buddhist for Yemeni Refugees have issued an appeal to urge compassion towards Yemeni asylum-seekers. How did the appeal come about and what does it entail?

Muwon Based on Buddhist teachings that the universe is linked as one life, we wanted to impart to Buddhists that we help ourselves by helping others (自利利他), and decided to issue an appeal to help Yemeni refugees as the Jeju Buddhist

Q2. Please tell us more about what Gwaneumsa (temple) where the Jeju Buddhist

is based, and what the itself has been doing so far.

Muwon Gwaneumsa is of the Jogye Order, and the 23rd temple out of 25 head temples. We have 40-50 branch temples. Our buildings burned down the Jeju Uprising and many monks were killed at that We have been able to rebuild the temple since then and it really is a historic site on Jeju Island. The Jeju Buddhist for Yemeni Refugees (Director Huhwoon) launched on July 9 and have four teams: volunteering, medical care and human rights. We are currently taking care of 10

Yemeni refugees, who are currently living in rented houses outside Gwaneumsa. We are them Korean lessons by working with other partners in the community.

Deputy Director Kim When we encountered the refugee issues through the Yemenis in Jeju, we all agreed that the religious community, the Buddhist community, that stresses human rights and life must take the lead. We soon formed the

with them on a regularly basis.

Q3. How are the Yemenis doing? Are they in, now that few months have passed?

Deputy Director Kim When the Yemenis arrived on Jeju Island, both the Yemenis, who found themselves far away from home, and the neighbours, Jeju people, who had never experienced something like this, both felt afraid of each other. We have provided language lessons to the Yemenis in these last few months, and we are that the refugees are doing much now that they had a chance to communicate with Jeju people. Not too long ago, decisions were made to grant humanitarian status to some Yemenis on Jeju Island, and the refugees are now for the outcome of their

When Archbishop Alfred visited Jeju, he that people fear the unknown. He said, however, once there is no longer the unknown, there is no fear and people become friends. Do not be afraid of being who you are. to pray for your homeland. Respect and work with the Korean culture, order and rules. Koreans will let their guard down and welcome you.

Q6. Do you have any message you’d like to share with individual, corporate and government partners of UNHCR?

I want to thank those who are helping refugees by becoming regular donors. I think our society will become more prosperous when refugees are part of our community. From the corporate and government I think and embracing newcomers can be part of and economic investment and strategies.
