Part 10 - Comparing Dijla's experience in the refugee camp with other refugee camps. The camps in Iran were treated much better, more social integration was possible. There are a lot of laws protecting the movement of money, yet humans do not share the same kinds of rights. Its luck of the draw whether a group will be able to enjoy human rights, there are few enforcement mechanisms. In Iraq the divisions between Sunni and Shia are not emphasized, the first time Dijla encounters this division is from a Sunni driver in Saudi Arabia. Iraq really is a unified society, especially when it comes to uniting against outside aggression. Dijla would like to return to her home country.

Part 6 - Iraq was the top country in the region for years in terms of education in health, this led to a situation where other Gulf countries where jealous of the Iraqis. The United Nations didn't become involved in running the camp until sometime in 1992. Sometimes the Saudis would kidnap individuals and take them back to the Iraqi government in order to create fear in the camp. The people in the camp decided to organize a demonstration against the human rights abuses in the camp.
