The Plight of Syrian Refugees
The plight of the Syrian refugee crisis is growing and is bound to worsen. The rampage is the product of a failed attempt by Syrian activists to topple the Al-Assad regime during the Arab Spring. The result was unprecedented civil war among religious and ethnic factions and the tragic massacre of many. The Syrian population was trapped between the regime, rebel groups and religious extremists.
Nearly one third of its population was displaced within the country, while another 4 million have fled. So do we act with humanity and reason, or shut down our borders? Video blog In a Nutshell presents the potential problems arising from the crisis and some solutions. Digest the presentation, and you be the judge.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This video has disappeared from YouTube, presumably censored. In its place, we offer a Liberum Arbitrium video where a Syrian woman says Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan put #SyrianRefugees on a bus to no where, and dropped them off in the woods just to use them as a political tool against Europe. “If you’re thinking of coming, don’t come” she says.)
