Some of the Arab States Have Admitted Many From Syria
Keywords:
Tags:
To correct misgivings in many quarters about Syrian refugees not finding a haven in Gulf states, this letter from the Cato Institute points out that the population of Syrian refugees living in the Gulf states including Saudi Arabia has gone up by 1.1 million by 2013 from the beginning of the civil war. He cites World Bank data showing 241,000 Syrians living in the Gulf states before the civil war. By 2013 that number is 1.4 million. For Saudi Arabia the figures are up from 111,000 to 1 million.

Germany's quota sytem for refugees based on Konigsteiner key, a method of distributing research projects throughout Germany developed in Konigstein in 1949
09/06/2015
The quota system takes into account population and economic resources, economic strength, in assigning numbers of refugees. It makes it possible to tackle a bigger problem by breaking it up into a large number of smaller problems based on resources available to tackle them. It has worked so far. Most Syrian refugees say they are glad to be in Germany and would be willing to move to whichever city they were assigned to.

Germany had 1.1 million job vacancies in the 2nd quarter of 2015, according to the Institute of Employment Research, and the situation is likely to lead to more vacancies with the aging population as more workers retire.

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.

Germany's efforts in 2015 to come up with a fair distribution reflecting solidarity in the European Union for refugees
09/14/2015
40,000 migrants were expected in the weekend of September 12-13 alone in Germany. Germany was getting close to its limits in handling the rapid influx of migrants from the Austrian border. On Sept. 13 Germany reintroduced border controls which were lifted for Syrian refugees on Sept. 3 as a humanitarian gesture. The border controls were also a message to Europe, said Germany's Interior Minister, Mr. Maiziere, that the Schengen Agreement allowing passport free travel in the 26 EU countries itself was at stake.

Spillover effects for Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. from the civil war in Syria- Sept-Nov. 2012 and by 2014
05/21/2011
The Syrian civil war is spilling over into Iraq. Iraq is unable to protect its airspace from being used by Iran to ship supplies to the Assad regime, or to prevent Turkey's warplanes from using Iraqi airspace to attack Kurdish separatists. There is also a danger of a Sunni-Shiite conflict being exacerabated by former Sunni insurgents in Iraq joining up with Sunni refugees from Syria. The Maliki government in Iraq is moving closer to Iran as the Syrian civil war escalates and brings Sunnis together against the Assad regime. Turkey is also seeing the effects of a flow of refugees on its border with Syria. The Obama administration has been slow to respond to the rapidly developing situation as it concentrates on a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq with the lack of agreement on a residual U.S. troop presence. This leaves the U.S. less than the minimum leverage that is needed just as the sectarian divisions are worsening, after years of investing resources in the region. With the EU countries focussed on economic problems, and the Obama administration's lack of active support for the Free Syria movement, the broader involvement of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Russia in the region, the situation is likely to lead to an international crisis without U.S. leadership.

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.
