about

On 17 May 2018, Mawda, a little two-year old girl, was shot dead by the Belgian police. She was in a van with her Kurdish parents and other refugees who were trying to cross the border into the UK. This track sung in Kurdish by Gulçicek expresses the pain and sadness caused by an inhuman immigration policy, and pays tribute to the innocent victims so that we do not forget them. "Mawda, you are my darling, pure and innocent, my love, my spirit, you are my Mawda, the world has become narrower, it is as cruel as wolves, it eats the innocent, no-one comes to help, oh cursed times.”
