About this episode

In this episode, we're listening to the stories of Sudanese refugees who didn't intend to remain in Jordan but found themselves stuck here. It's difficult for them to work legally but a need to survive and support their families obliges them to find a way to do so, no matter the consequences.

This episode is supported by the Heinrich Böll Foundation. All opinions are the author's own.
