HOW TO BALANCING THE REFUGEES ARRIVAL IN CONGO CRISIS In the Congo, about 2.4 million of Congolese refugees had become a part of a population in nearly 16 years of armed conflict and turbulence in the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC). The refugees should be protected and full attention. Thus is because they are mostly are from the ethnic minorities of the eastern DRC and they are exposed with the unsafe condition because they does not have places and insufficient food. Therefore, the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in 1950 in order to protect the refugees. After that, about 11,000 Congolese refugees had been resettled over 12 years in United State in more than 220 cities and 45 states. Other than U.S.
The refugee crisis that plagues the world is often referred to as the Syrian refugee crisis, and Western countries are usually concerned only for the affect it has on them and their country. Yet the countries taking in the most refugees are the relatively stable nations in the Middle East that are closest to those in crisis, like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, not the wealthy nations most capable of supporting the refugees. These countries are often small and suffering their own economic and political woes, and struggle with the masses of refugees entering the countries. Various groups are working to raise money and support for these refugees, and other poor African and Middle Eastern countries are attempting to do their best, but without the help of the wealth West, the refugee crisis is not going to go away. A question has been posed to the nations of the world; are they willing to take in any of the millions of the desperate refugees?
As the head of a small aid agency in Congo, our duty is to cater the refugee’s health dilemmas and concerns. We must attend to their needs by providing them the right health services suited for their condition. Like what is happening in the camp, the refugees are in need of cornea transplant because of the poor water condition which resulted to them being blind. Therefore, we must do any possible means of giving them enough corneas and adequate protection they need by figuring out how to eliminate the peculiar parasite in the water. Aside from that, incoming refugees would be possible knowing that civil war is happening at the moment so we also need to accommodate them
During the Holocaust Jews went on boats to other country's but they kept getting denied. The Fresno family did not go to that boat. St.Louis did get on that boat and sailed to many country's. While they were on the ship after a long time of sailing the ship most people started to feel queasy. They went to the U.S. and also Cuba, but both of them had denied them. That is one difference they had between them.
-According to the UNHCR, the people most in need of assistance are the ones forced to leave their homes due to political conflict. These people have little or nothing, lack of access to clean water, sanitation, and medical care. The UNHCR sends emergency assistance to these refugees,
This is a tale of horror and tragedy in the Congo, beginning with the brutal and exploitative regime of King Leopold II of Belgium, and culminating with the downfall of one of Africa’s most influential figures, Patrice Lumumba. The Congo is but one example of the greater phenomenon of European occupation of Africa. The legacy of this period gives rise to persistent problems in the Congo and throughout Africa. Understanding the roots and causes of this event, as focused through the lense of the Congo, is the subject of this paper.
The United Nations approach on the treatment of refugees is as follows. the Convention relating to the status of Refugees 1967 Protocol defines who a refugee is and explains what Rights countries should afford to refugees. A refugee is a person who is outside of their own country and is unable or unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of being persecuted because of their; race, religion, nationality, membership of a group or political
There is a possible solution. First the U.N.H.C.R can give these refugees a temporary home, food, and water. The U.N.H.C.R wants to help refugees and wants everyone to have a chance.
In 2011, Dadaab, Kenya received an influx over a hundred forty thousand new immigrants fleeing the effects of a severe drought in Somalia. Currently, the total population of refugees living in both official UNHCR camps, as well as the unofficial camps that surround these, is approaching half a million people. The Dadaab refugee camp is well beyond the capacity it was built for and is struggling to keep up with the demand. Children are among the most unfortunate victims. Not only do some die even before making to the camp because of the treacherous journey that must be taken to get there, but it is also estimated that nearly thirty percent of the refugee children are malnourished. This paper will examine the UNHCR's response to the crisis that is crisis that is occurring in Kenya and discus what actions might be taken to help mitigate further suffering.
In the past, many incidents of genocide have occurred, like the Armenian genocide or the Rwandan genocide. While these incidents may seem unrelated to current times, similar incidents are starting to occur in many parts of the world and one such place is Congo. Many sources hint that the conflict that occurs in Congo is a genocide because many elements of genocide appear in the conflict like classification or dehumanization. While what they say has some truth in the sense that this conflict contains some element of genocide but, not enough elements are present to make it a genocide. Although many would believe that the conflict in Congo is a genocide, there is evidence of the conflict being a territorial and power dispute because some countries invading Congo want the resources, others want power, and the cause of the conflict in Congo is the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide.
In the year 1876, King Leopold II of Belgium began to display an interest in the civilization mission in Africa. The documents on European Imperialism provide evidence for how the individuals in the Congo are being exploited for European benefit, under the profit-making aim of King Leopold II. European brutality in the Congo was the logical result of the European desire to implement ‘proper’ civilization in the Congo, albeit through a lack of cultural understanding and compassion towards the people of Congo.
A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to
Our accomplishments include our home-visit support program that continues to empower refugee families with household management skills; and supporting and interpreting for them through crisis situations; English literacy classes; and our healthy family programing, which for the last four years has hosted a health and wellness resource picnic catering to the African refugee communities specifically, and the larger Milwaukee communities in general. The picnic also celebrates and shares aspects of the African culture. In 2016, we were the recipient of a Reasons for Hope MLK fund grant. We were able to host a successful social event that promoted peace and understanding among Asian, Latina, African American, and African immigrant/refugee communities
UNHCR has offices in over 100 countries, an annual budget of $1 billion, and, although it has its problems, allocates both legal protection and emergency relief. Its purposes are to care for refugees, make sure that the problem does not mushroom, that the world cares for these refuges, and that these refugees are settled as soon as possible in other countries and are able to get omit their lives. To date, UNHRC has helped 25 million people successfully restart their lives. (Kushner, 2005)
I have chosen to investigate whether immigrants should interact with host peoples or establish marginal communities away from the culture of their destination. Egypt is grappling with these troubles today. The movement of Sudanese refugees to Egypt can be dated to the 19th century, when Sudan was part of Egypt, under British colonial rule. Up until the late nineteen-eighties, most of the early Sudanese who moved to Egypt were northerners and were able to take advantage of bilateral treaties between the two countries, giving Sudanese many of the same rights as Egyptian nationals. However, after the failed assassination attempt that targeted President Mubarak, in which Islamists allegedly backed by the Sudanese government were implicated, the Egyptian government revoked all treaties that gave special privileges to Sudanese in Egypt. Since then, the Sudanese in Egypt were subjected to the laws governing the status and rights of foreigners. Tensions between the Sudanese and Egyptians are rising at an incredible rate. The migrants need to avoid frequent interaction with host peoples and instead establish marginal communities to maintain civil rights, be able to have free education, lead healthy lives, practice their own religion, be safe, and attain employment.
In the aftermath of the WWII and the beginning of the Cold War tensions, the UNHCR began its mandate of addressing the issues of refugees as defined by the 1951 Geneva Convention with thirty-three staff and a $30,000 budget (Feller, 2001:131). Reflecting post-colonial European hegemonic structure and ignoring the upheavals of decolonisation in the ‘Third World,’ geographic and temporal limitations were embedded within the definition of a refugee. The convention recognises persons displaced before the first of January 1951 within the European geographical region (Nygh, 2000 and Loescher et al., 2008). Thus, the mandate of the UNHCR was apparently limited to the protection of refugees displaced before the drafting of the 1951 Geneva Convention and only within Europe. At this time, because of the strategic aims of the Cold War period and demand for labour, “refugees were welcomed noncitizens in many [European] countries” (Feller, 2001:129). In other words, the refugee regime was designed to provide geopolitical and economic responses to mass displacement due to Nazism and communism.
