A family who fled wars in Afghanistan as well as Ukraine has found peace in Canada.
Elyas Zabihullah and his wife arrange the furniture in their newly rented home in downtown Regina.“It’s my fourth time starting my life from scratch,” Zabihullah told CTVNews.ca. “I hope this time it will be permanent.”
In 2014, when the situation got worse in Ukraine over the protests to suspend the signing of an association agreement with the European Union, Zabihullah left his home and belongings in Ukraine and went back to Afghanistan. The 39-year-old Afghan, who also holds a Ukrainian passport, had to leave Ukraine after Russia’s invasion more than a year ago. But this time compared with 2014, the situation in Ukraine was much more dire.
After calling some of his friends, the Afghan-Ukrainian man decided to leave the house in order to save everybody’s lives.Since the war erupted in Ukraine last February,people have been displaced inside and outside of Ukraine. Of this number, over 197,000 people came to Canada.
