Why are there so many refugees in Syria?

There are so many refugees in Syria because of the war.

Government forces, rebels and Islamic State terrorist organizations are fighting each other.

The so-called civil war led Syrian citizens to flee their homes, because a large number of refugees were smuggled into neighboring countries, but countries with large populations in neighboring countries were not allowed.

Or "no end in sight"

On September 4th, 200,000 Syrian refugees living in Jordan learned through SMS that the United Nations food aid they depended on was cut off. As early as last summer, the World Food Program warned that the lack of funds stretched the organization and had to cut off aid.

"What should I do? Sell yourself or my three daughters? " A refugee woman told BuzzFeed News. These refugees now face the choice of either returning to war-torn Syria or risking their lives to seek asylum in Europe.

The United Nations Inquiry Group on the Syrian Conflict issued a statement on the 3rd, saying that the experience of Syrian refugees was a "global failure", and about 2,000 Syrians drowned in the Mediterranean while trying to flee to Europe.

The death toll in Syria has exceeded 240 thousand. In addition, 4 million people fled overseas and 7.6 million people were internally displaced. There is no end to this war. According to the report released by the United Nations investigation team on the 3rd, the warring parties still have spare capacity, and there is no sign of a decisive military victory. Investigators said that "inhumane acts such as murder, torture, sexual slavery, sexual violence and forced displacement of civilians committed by' jihad' militants are part of a widespread attack on civilians."

Earlier this year, Idlib province was occupied by the Al Qaeda branch "Nusra Front". The Syrian government's air strikes on residential areas have caused a large number of civilian casualties. According to the report, the protection space for Syrian civilians is shrinking.

Pinheiro, head of the investigation team, said at a news conference in Geneva that in Europe, 250,000 refugees sought asylum, but in contrast, Syria's neighboring countries hosted about 4 million refugees. "It is imperative that the international community show humanity and compassion, accept them through legal channels, and expand the safe space for refugees."

Refugees in Europe: alive, but discriminated against

Last year, in June+10, 5438, Lebanon closed its border to the rest of the refugees except those who needed humanitarian assistance most, and the destination for Syrians to leave the motherland became more single: Germany.

Najera, her husband and two-year-old daughter finally arrived in Berlin after seven attempts and three months. In Bulgaria, the police let their dog go and took most of her savings. In Serbia, she was arrested and paid a ransom of 100 euros to regain her freedom. "I am very happy to finally come to Germany. I hope to find a job here as soon as possible until the end of the war in Syria. " She told the International Financial Times.

After Najera's refugee application is approved, she can get 359 euros a month, but she can't work for the first three months, and it is uncertain whether she can find a job afterwards. Many employers are reluctant to hire refugees because their future is uncertain. Only the jobs that Germans and EU citizens are unwilling to do are the refugees' turn.

Refugees should not only accept employment discrimination, but also fight racist violence. German right-wing groups hate these outsiders and think that they have taken away job opportunities and are a burden to society. Although the BBC said that the latest survey showed that immigrants and refugees with higher education actually added 2.2 billion euros to the German economy.

Sweden has accepted 95,000 Syrian refugees this year, and the Swedish Democratic Party, the country's right-wing party, even publicly declared that "Islamism is Nazism of our time". "Muslims are unwilling to integrate into society. If you go to their gathering area, you will feel that you are not in Sweden. " Victoria Turunan, a representative of the Democratic constituency, told NPR.

A 25-year-old young man from Damascus told NPR that Syrian refugees feel lonely because it is difficult to integrate into the local culture. In addition, there is a gap between Christians and Muslims in Syria. Some Christians even asked him, "How did you escape?" In fact, he hates jihadists as much as Christians. "They are not Muslims, they are crazy." He said.

Syria is located in the Middle East. Because of its strategic position and rich mineral resources, it has attracted the attention of all countries. Moreover, the Middle East is extremely short of water, and religious contradictions are sharp, leading to internal discord. Coupled with the intervention of the United States, war is inevitable. When war breaks out, it is the people who suffer, so it is not surprising that there will be refugees. Therefore, we should advocate peace and oppose war!
