Obama Threatens to Veto House Syrian Refugee Bill
Keywords:
U.S. resettlement of Syria's refugees at 1500 and UK 166 in 2015, as Germany accepts 800,000 refugees
09/04/2015
The huge difference in the U.S. and German resettlement of Syria's refugees. About half the population of Syria is dslocated in a tragedy of massive proportions for a country of 23 million- additional numbers of refugees are spread out in Iraq and Libya. The U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East under the Obama administration led to a worsening of the crisis in Iraq, Syria and Libya, and the unraveling of the fragile situation in these countries. The result is the flow of migrants to Europe by the hundreds of thousands in 2015. German chancellor Merkel will be remembered in history for the courage to say in Sept 2015- "If Europe fails on the question of refugees, its close connection with universal civil rights will be destroyed." And for rallying German society to the work of integrating refugees with the openness of educational institutions and civil society, especially in the urban areas.

The U.S. Congress and president Obama on background checks for admitting Syrian refugees
11/20/2015
U.S. president Obama says he will veto Congressional legislation for a series of background checks that would make it difficult to absorb 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016. The Paris attacks and lax security checks prompted the U.S. Congress to take this action. Most Republican governors have opposed taking in Syrian refugees. This is in sharp contrast to the situation in Germany and Austria.

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.
