Of this about 14 million people were displaced in 2014, with 11 million of this displaced in their own country. Fighting in Iraq, Syria and Libya, appear to be the main cause of displacement in 2014.

Denmark's Social Democrats plan to tighten immigration rules to require work before the 2015 general election
06/17/2015
Immigrants to Denmark, including refugees, will be required to work, and not allowed to live off allowances, under new rules on immigration set by the ruling Social Democratic Party. The party's move comes as the opposition Liberal Party took a tougher line on immigration requiring that immigrants work and speak Danish, taking voter support away from the Social Democrats. The shift by the Social Democrats comes before the 2015 general election and shift in voter mood against open immigration in the European Union.

Italy, Germany, the European Union, and the Libyan migrant deaths at sea, 71 Syrian dead found in a truck in Austria
04/23/2015
An influx of migrants from Libya into Italy, smuggling of refugees on boats, as the civil war in Libya, and protracted war in Syria, continues in 2015. According to Frontex, the EU border agency, about 171,000 people in 2014, four times that in 2013, tried to cross the 250 mile stretch of ocean into Italy in rickety boats. Italy calls for EU wide cooperation to deal with the crisis, and pushes for a UN negotiated settlement in Libya.

The wave of migrants from North Africa, Libya, Syria and the Middle East to Europe in 2014-2017
06/13/2015
A wave of migrants made their way on a dangerous boat journey to Europe in 2014-2016. The refugee crisis in the war zones of Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, with added migrants from Africa for people seeking a better life, is leading to one of the largest movements of migrants since 1945. It also poses problems of uncontrolled immigration in Europe, where immigration is one of the top issues in elections and in public debate-in Sweden, Britain, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy. By 2017 the migration slowed after action by the European Union countries to control it from countries in Africa.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
