Pakistanis in Jordan: Foreign Workers or Part of the Country
About the episode
In this podcast we listen to the stories of Ibrahim who migrated to Jordan from Pakistan as a child with his family and settled in the country. Since then, he got married and had a family. His children consider Jordan their country but it isn’t as simple as that unfortunately as everyone still treats them like foreigners.
