Podcasts about Displaced

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it's hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for. Displaced residents still don't have proper shelter. They don't have a central point of service. They don't have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities. In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.Let's be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That's Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.But from all accounts, Jamaica's government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren't for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?Why weren't emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn't there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?By Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism.

In this episode of the BIG Home Ed Conversations Podcast, Kelly and Ashley sit down with Catherine Gladwell, founder and CEO of Refugee Education UK, to explore what education really looks like when your whole life has been uprooted. Catherine shares powerful stories from her work with refugee children and teenagers in the UK – many of whom have been out of school for years, arrived alone as unaccompanied minors, or are trying to learn in a new language while carrying trauma, grief and separation from family. Together they unpack: Why over half of the world's refugee children are currently out of school The hidden barriers refugee learners face in the UK (language, trauma, missing records, complex systems) How academic potential is misjudged when language and PTSD get mistaken for “low ability” Incredible resilience and self‑motivation – from teens fighting to sit GCSEs to those dreaming of rebuilding their home countries The emotional impact of prejudice, othering and hostile narratives about refugees How schools can better recognise prior learning (mother‑tongue GCSEs, accelerated learning, subject‑specific language support) What home‑educating families can do to talk about refugees, challenge stereotypes and raise more compassionate kids Kelly and Ashley also reflect on parallels with home education: worries about “translating” a non‑standard educational path into exams, further education and future opportunities – and how our current systems often measure the wrong things while missing character, resilience and lived experience.

There were thousands of Ukrainians who refused to be repatriated back to the Soviet Union after the end of the Second World War in Europe. These Ukrainians were placed in Displaced Persons camps where they created their own little Ukraine. They took those organizational talents and Ukrainian consciousness with them when they emigrated to various countries and have contributed to the Ukrainian Diaspora culture.

What happens when you run an architecture studio inside a refugee settlement — and let refugees lead it?Scott Key (founder/CEO of Every Shelter) is back to break down how a 10-week “design school” in Nakivale turned buzzwords like “co-creation” into actual, working solutions — cow-dung bricks that survive soaking, shelter-wide mosquito netting, and quality water that families can afford.Why it matters:Refugees are displaced for 20+ years — which means they need permanent, local, extremely affordable building solutions.

Elder and linguist Bernie Francis talks with guest host Preston Mulligan about Centralization. This policy, enacted in 1942, attempted to get all the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia to locate in either Sipekne'katik or Eskasoni. Bernie says, before that, Mi'kmaq were documented living in more than 50 communities around the province. Recordings of now-deceased elders suggest centralization allowed church leaders to more effectively prohibit use of the Mi'kmaw language.

A Clare TD claims a United Ireland would reunite families and allow displaced Shannon residents to reconnect with their ancestral home. The Taoiseach has poured cold water on suggestions a poll on Irish unity will be held before 2030, saying more time is needed to prepare and to unite people across the island. The Good Friday Agreement states that a border poll should be called by the Northern Ireland secretary when they believe there is evidence that public opinion in the six counties has shifted in favour of change. Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons she's observed appetite for reunification in her hometown and throughout the county.

While the world watched other conflicts, Thailand and Cambodia went to war in July 2025. In just days, over 200,000 civilians were displaced, temples were bombed, soap operas were banned, and accusations of chemical weapons and war crimes were thrown around. Yet coverage in the West was almost nonexistent. In this episode of Bro History, we break down how an ancient temple, nationalist politics, and decades-old colonial borders triggered a five-day modern war — complete with fighter jets, landmines, propaganda battles, and a fragile ceasefire that solved nothing.

Today we are deeply honored and privileged to speak with journalist-activist Yousef Aljamal, one of the editors of a remarkable, gripping, and altogether inspiring collection, Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide, 27 stories written by Palestinians in Gaza. We talk about the conception behind the book, and concentrate on certain keywords like obligation, pride, inventiveness, and resilience. Aljamal talks about how Palestinians are relying on a long history of survival and persistence—educating, caring for, and continuing life under the most oppressive circumstances imaginable. We end by echoing the voices in this collection, which call on the international community to continue to fill the streets, pressure politicians and to fight for Palestinian freedom.Yousef Aljamal, born in a refugee camp in Gaza, works as the Gaza coordinator at the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee and recently received his PhD at Sakarya University in Turkey. He is the editor of If I Must Die Poetry and Prose by Refaat Alareer. He is the co-editor of Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide.

When the Civil War ended in 1865, the United States was scarred but standing. The fields were silent, the guns were still, and the soldiers — Union and Confederate alike — began the long journey home. But what if “home” no longer existed? For thousands of veterans, returning wasn't an option. They had to start over somewhere else. Many of them packed up and headed west. That decision shaped the lives of entire generations.
