New Home For A Country

The Bashar regime is just trying to hurt has many innocent people as possible till they successfully recapture the power. They do not like how the protesters were speaking out against them, fearing other would turn away, so they used military action to try and regain order. A better term for what is going on in Syria is a humanitarian crisis. What is going on is affect the wellbeing of all Syrian people, not just one type of person.

A refugee is defined as “someone who has been forced to leave a country because of war or for religious or political reasons.” This definition does little to paint the picture of the horror and terror that many refugees have come from, yet even when refugees flee, they often still live in fear. 95% of all Afghan refugees flee to Iran or Pakistan (UNHCR 4), yet many are not safe there either, with the spread of heat-related diseases and the abuse against women. Thus, many must seek refuge in the United States, where although they must overcome many struggles and difficulties, many look to start a new, safe life.

There are 60 million people across the globe that have been forced to leave their home and country because it’s too dangerous. What are they called? Refugees. Refugees flee their country because of war, persecution, or natural disasters. Refugees often seek asylum in other countries, especially those whose borders touch their own. According to unhcr.org, the website for The UN Refugee Agency; by the end of 2014, there were 59.5 million refugees worldwide- that’s almost 20% of the U.S population. Just ten years ago, there were only 37.5 million people displaced worldwide. That means, out of every 122 people on Earth, one of them is seeking refuge from their

"I shall try my very best to lead our country towards a future that fulfills the hopes and legitimate ambitions of our people," (Bashar al-Assad). By doing so, the Syrian president has evoked more violence than good. In Aleppo, (a major city of Syria) the terrain has quite literally been reduced to rubble as result from the civil war. Taking over this city was the last major hope for the rebels, but overtime the regime has taken over. Barrel bombs have been dropped throughout Syria resulting in great devastation. It has been estimated that over 6,000 barrel bombs have been dropped throughout the war, with their use escalating. Aleppo is just one out of the many cities that Bashar has been waging a war in. Even through Assad has been promising geographic reform, it has been shown that he has brought his people the opposite with the collapse

“More than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four-and-a-half years of armed conflict.” (Syria: The Story of the Conflict). These horrific killings began when the anti-government protestors. After a short while, civil protesting became a full

The plight of asylum seekers in their home countries can be terrible and depressing, some face the risk of death and torture, others expect to live in poverty for the rest of their life while others face dire consequences for choosing to disagree with the beliefs of a higher power. Any sane person would do all they can do escape a life like this so it can not be a shock to the global community that people will try and leave their homes in the hope that they can achieve a better life for themselves in another part of the world.

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. (UNHCR). The global refugee crisis has continued to grow steadily and significantly. There are currently 15.4 million refugees and 27.5 internally displaced people (International Organization for Migration, 2011a) Pre-migration circumstances can be extremely stressful for individual refugees who may have lost family members, homes, and livelihoods. In fact, -some research suggests that resettlement period is great challenging

Syrian refugees face countless challenges every day of their lives. Refugees who have not found safety amongst North America and Northern Europe must fend for themselves on the outskirts of the Middle East. Thousands of refugees have perished in the last year alone, attempting the journey

The Civil war in Syria is not like typical internal conflicts due to the sheer number of different groups fighting in the same small territory. Primarily, this is a fight for power in the nation of Syria and each group has a special affinity for the land. This has led to a power struggle in the small area, and the people of the nation, whether they are fighting or not, are all suffering in different ways. There are some who have chosen to fight for their cause. They are not the majority, however. Many, half of the country in fact, have been displaced and forced to walk miles, in temperatures estimated more that 120 degrees fahrenheit, from their home country to refugee camps after suffering directly and immensely in their own homes. Not

Throughout history, many countries and states have gone to war and fought each other. These conflicts could have a laundry-list of reasons as to why they are occurring, such as natural resources, attempts to gain land, and access and occupation of highly regarded religious sites. War and battling for resources and other materials has been no new topic to us all, but there is one conflict that has blown the lid off everything that world has ever seen. This war has two names, the Syrian Civil War, and the War in Syria. The atrocities that have been witness and or inflicted upon others is absolutely unacceptable, and must be stopped.

What these refugees are living through is wrong and needs to be stopped. There are people being treated with no dignity and respect by

The Syrian rebel conflict has been occurring since March 2011 and it started with Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad. The Assad government was known for being very authoritarian as well as restrictive on the people of Syria (BBC). As the protests were occurring Assad send out military force to attempt to crush the rebellion but all it did was intensify their cause. Since the conflict arose there have been as many as 100,000 fighters involved with intentions of pushing the government toward a more democratic state. Over time the violence

Since March of 2011, Syria’s government has been under the rule of President Bashar al-Assad. Throughout the country, there has been an intense conflict between the People of Syria and their government and as a result pro-democratic protests have emerged throughout the country as a way to end the reign and regime of the Assad Family who has been in power since 1971.

People worry about population control, jobs, crime, disease, and any other social problem people decide to connect immigrants with. When someone applies for refuge in a country this is called "asylum seeking" ("Refugees and Asylum" 2011). European countries are popular for this because they usually have stronger human rights foundations ("Refugees and Asylum" 2011). Unfortunately, because of anti-terrorism efforts, it has become increasingly hard for people to seek asylum in these countries ("Refugees and Asylum" 2011). Many asylum seekers in the past have gained citizenship, and have become normal members of society, but often times their only hope is for repatriation ("Refugees and Asylum" 2011). A problem faced by both host nations and refugees is that the accommodations given at the detention camps are meant to be temporary. They are only meant to hold the persons until the conflict in their country has stopped, but millions of refugees around the globe have been detained anywhere from 10 to almost 60 years (S. Feldman 2010).

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
