The author of this article has been a stateless asylum-seeker for the last 19 years.
It’s NOT a nightmare  -  it’s a reality …… living in a  *soap opera*  scripted jointly by Kafka, Machiavelli, Dante, de Sade  &  Torquemada,  being inflicted on asylum-seekers by governments  ...... & those are the good days!
Most of the time  -  psychologically  -  it’s a daily trauma of survivorship in what can justifiably be called the atmosphere of an open-air concentration-camp.   
It’s soul-destroying & dehumanizing.
