The Conflict Of The Syrian Refugee Crisis

We all know what is happening in Syria over the past four years from violence to disorder, crimes, and inhumane crimes. Most of the innocent families had fled to neighboring Arabian countries, but when the Arabian countries closed their gates for any more fleeing families they began to flee to European countries. Some of the European counties that Syrian families flee to are Switzerland, Germany, and Italy. These countries provide some excellent services to the fleeing families such as providing them a home to live in, and giving them a weekly wage of $100, and after 4 years of living in the country they will get the nationality.

Even the innocent Syrians go can be dislocated without any idea of where they will go. Located on the article, The real refugee crisis is in the Middle East, not Europe, “While the Middle East and North Africa region hosts around 4.8 million refugees alone, they are treated more as passive refugee-hosting vessels than as actors with their own interests.” (Arar. Hintz. Norman. n.pag.). Hosting refugees is not easy and the E.U. has made that very clear. With the high amount of refugees in these countries, there are just as many that don't get to live their lives the way they want or get to actually do what they aspire to do with their life because they can barely find food to feed their family. Struggling day in and day out, once can only imagine the hardships each refugee faces in a new and distant place. Countless stories remind others of the constant battles. A great example is in the article Syria's Refugee Crisis, one woman says what she went through, "They attacked us. We started to scream and cry," the woman said, explaining the men attempted to rape them and asked, "Why are you scared? Nothing happened. You are married. Why are you afraid of this? It's not your first time." (Syria's Refugee n.pag.). Women are even being victimized in a war that they are not fighting.

Homeless, exiled, displaced, destitute, desperate, yet shunned – caught up in the Syrian Civil War since 2011, millions of refugees are fleeing their homeland in search of sanctuary for their families only to be ruthlessly rejected by neighboring countries and other Western nations. Whether it is because of the potential security threat or the chance of Islamic radicalism slipping into the country, the narrow-minded majority cannot even bear the thought of allowing those innocent victims into their borders. They seem to forget that not everyone lives in a peaceful first world country with a roof over their head. As the High Commissioner for Refugees in the United Nations and author of numerous pro-refugee editorials, António Guterrez attempted

The vast amounts of people that are being forced from their homes is astonishing. These people flee their homes because of war, oppression and persecution. Europe seems to be closing their borders and do not want to take any more of these people in. There are many countries in Europe who could afford this. They do not want a change to their way of life. They are fearful of the effects the communities with face. It would bring a change to the identity and culture of the community. The European countries do not want the citizens to think they are bringing these people in to take their jobs, homes, or money. If they put money into The Syrian Migration and set up camps they might feel betrayed and it could mean a backlash from the country and the government. The European Nations might also not want to violate treaties or agreements they have with countries where the refugees are coming from.

The Syrian civil war has created a worldwide refugee crisis and even though various countries are currently trying to help Syrians, many countries are still refusing to even let them in. A recent Bloomberg Politics poll, conducted last week after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, "found that 53 percent of Americans don’t want to accept any Syrian refugees; 11 percent said they would only accept Christian refugees from Syria" (Bremmer). American political figures are also opposed to the acceptance of Syrians into the States with Ted Cruz stating that he wants to ban Muslim Syrian refugees from entering the U.S. Ben Carson also “has used a particularly offensive analogy to rabid dogs when explaining why he is against letting in Syrian refugees.

An overwhelming 11 million Syrian refugees have been displaced due to war and conflict that continues into today, from the country Syria. Many Syrian refugees, left with a lack of necessary resources as well as being in the face of danger have left to close and distant countries that may provide the humanitarian aid they need. These countries most of which from the European region are left with challenges but also benefits that can arise due to the abundance of fleeing refugees. One country in particular, Greece, is experiencing this.

As the U.S. struggles to come to a decision concerning the Syrian Refugee Crisis, the problem continues to grow in other parts of the world. This past November, the U. N. reached out to America, asking the country to honor their traditions and accept Syrian Refugees into the county to set an example for the rest of the world (Oren). However, fear of attack has made many countries more cautious and more likely to close their doors to Syrian refugees. Also, because America is taking so long to intervene, places such as Europe, North Africa and Asia are having to deal with the overflow of refugees. This means that they have to face the bulk of the problems that come with refugees as well, including the threat of future attacks, and immigrants slipping into the countries illegally.There are also many countries that have refused to take refugees, these countries include: Poland (Poland), Singapore, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia, some of the wealthiest countries in the middle east, have not offered to take in any Syrian Refugees, because these countries are already Islamized, and accepting refugees could lead to conflict. Russia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea are also wealthy nations, but they have not accepted any refugees either, because they don’t want the conflict to be brought to their countries (The). Aside from Poland, european countries have made great strides when it comes to

After a long day at school or work you go home, have a snack, watch some television and do homework or chores. Then you have a nice, quiet dinner with your family and can go to bed. In the world, this is what society regards as the “norm.” Now think of laboring ten times as hard for no pay but for your freedom; barely having scraps to eat and stressing over the fact that your tarp roof might blow away and leave you unprotected during the night. Sadly, this is the “norm” for most Syrian refugees. Around the world, countries can help the crisis in Syria politically by looking past differences and uniting with refugees, economically by realizing that helping refugees will advance our economy rather than diminish

America--a once a proud leader in world politics, now cowers in hesitancy and in indecision. We have been presented a gift, in the wake of the Syrian refugee crisis, to retake our place as The Superpower, and what do we do? We would rather listen to bigots spew nonsense, have a circus sideshow perform, and only take half measures to show we are ‘doing our part’. How about we take a stand, and look through the facade, and do something.

The Syrian refugee crises is the massive increase of refugees coming from Syria and fleeing or requesting asylum to neighboring countries in search for safety and a place to stay where they won't be fearful that rebels will break into their houses any moment and cause harm to their families. Overall, about half of the country has ended up as refugees. To look at the raw statistics the UNHCR, or The UN Refugee Agency has stated, “4.8 million have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, and 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria. Meanwhile, about one million have requested asylum to Europe.” Almost five million Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries in the Middle East like the small country Jordan which has accepted 655,675 refugees according to UNHCR. About one million more has requested asylum to Europe which is sadly not accepting many refugees. The United Kingdom has pledged to take only twenty thousand refugees and France is only taking thirty thousand. Thankfully Germany is stepping up and have agreed to take all refugees which is good in theory until it's found out that the refugees are being held in refugee camps. Those who don’t die on their journey to different countries or who allowed in despite the UN bolstering their borders have to live in overcrowded and underfunded refugee camps. A

The issue regarding the Syrian refugee crisis is an ongoing hot topic that has been going on throughout the past couple of years. With the war going on in Syria since 2011, there has been an influx of refugees all throughout the world. Many Syrians immigrate to neighboring countries like Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon, while others are extending all the way to Europe. In addition, it is clear that the corruption of the war-torn country is becoming unbearable and with the refugee numbers rising, the international community will have to address the problem since many refugees find safety in countries around the world. However, even though there is clearly a problem that concerns the world, there are two sides of the argument. Some believe that we have the moral duty to aid to these people since they are escaping horrid conditions. On the other hand, others believe that the influx in refugees arriving to their country would devastate their economies and deplete their resources like medical care, schooling, and food. So, is the international community morally obligated to help the victims of war torn Syria, who are just looking for a safer and better socio-economic opportunity?

Conflict, this term has a broad definition that is defined as “latent tensions and disagreements on the one end and goes to armed and violent clashes (e.g. wars) on the other” (Eroglu Utku, Sirkeci, and Yazgan 2015). This is the root cause of many of the violent wars and crises that have occurred over thousands of years. In more recent times critical conflicts that have occurred throughout the world have had adverse effects globally. It was estimated, by the United Nations, that at the end of 2013 over 51 million people globally, more than half of which included women and children, were displaced due to persecution, warfare, and violence (Salopek 2015). The Syrian civil war has been a large contributor for this large number of displaced people; it has affected countries throughout the world due to the millions of people that have had to find permanent settlement elsewhere as a result of the war between the Syrian government, rebel forces, and ISIS. This has been given the name of the Syrian refugee crisis. Refugees have since been displaced throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America and have become a global issue that has had difficult solutions. Refugees that have uprooted their lives due to the violence and war brought about from the Syrian civil war still face difficulty being accepted in countries around the world and face larger obstacles when starting life over.

The Syrian Civil War is a continuing international conflict caused by the backlash of President Bashar al-Assad’s government. In early 2011, the Arab Spring protests sparked nationwide protests against the government. The protest gradually morphed into armed rebellion. While the civil unrest grew, many native Syrians fled their homeland for the protection and safety of their families. Over two million Syrians are estimated to be living in refugee camps in Turkey but many Syrians who traveled to other countries were told that they could only stay for a temporary amount of time. One country that opened its doors to the refugees is Germany, German Chancellor, Angela Merkel remarked that it was a “fundamental right to asylum for the politically persecuted knows no upper limit; that also goes for refugees who come to us from hell of a civil war.” While Germany and other northern European countries seems like a haven for the Syrian refugees, the path there is long, crossing into other countries that are less than welcoming of the refugees, like Hungary. European countries need to find humanitarian ways to help the Syrian refugees.

In 2015, there were sad news related to Arabic countries ; civil war, IS terror in Paris, and refugee crisis in European countries like Greece, France, and Italy. Especially Italy is well-known as a shelter for stateless refugees. Conversely, Syria is a well-known region where more than four million people are displaced from. One million nine hundred thirty- eight thousand nine hundred ninety-nine (1938999) refugees are registered in Turkey, but Turkey is just a temporary passage to reach to European countries through land road. Italy is accepting refugees even it is under serious economic recession. So it is a hot issue whether Italy should keep accepting refugees or stop it by law. In this situation, although EU forces its members to accept migrants, it seems obvious that Italy should stop accommodating them inside their country. Some people state that we should ban this random influx in Italy, however there are other people who assert to actively embrace people from Arabic countries for the reason of recruiting expertise from other areas so that Italy can aim at elevating the rate of national development. However, no more evacuation must be permitted in Italy unless they want to collapse in decades, and here are the three reasons : decrease of benefits for citizens, cultural conflicts, and criminal problems.

Despite Luxembourg being the smallest member of the European Union, it is very vocal about its concerns regarding the Syrian refugee crisis since Schengen infringes of their sovereignty. However, Luxembourg is also the wealthiest and may be able to help provide for the Syrians. Luxembourg is very critical of the EU’s action regarding the Syrian refugee crisis. Luxembourg has offered to take in 400 refugees in the coming years (Turner). This is a small number compared to the amounts the other Member States have taken on; however, Luxembourg is the smallest Member State and it is a large amount for this small nation. The EU is requiring the Member States to help with the crisis, even though most are not happy with doing so. The cost of
