Immigration in Germany and the East German city of Dresden
12/07/2014
Only 2% of the people in the former East Gemany are foreigners, yet there is increased wariness in the east about immigration from Islamic countries. With low unemployment in East Germany there is less of the anti-immigration sentiment that has increased support for Marie Le Pen in France. Anti-immigrant Germans in the former east Germany say they do not want to see the "ghettoes" of immigrants found in some West German cities.

06/04/2012
Once the capital of Federal Republic of Germany, Bonn is now home to a large Muslim immigrant community, with about 10% of the city's population. The presence of extremists has changed the peaceful environment in the city and setback years of efforts at integration of the immigrant community.

WSJ Benoit, Norman and Fridler's account of the events of Feb. 20-21, 2014, leading to the EU brokered agreement in Ukraine
02/22/2014
The calls of chancellor Merkel to Putin and Yakunovych and the efforts of foreign ministers Steinmeier and Fabius of France, Sikorski of Poland, were crucial in getting both sides together for an agreement in Ukraine. This was the last opportunity to pull the country together as the use of Interior Ministry forces would have split the country and damaged the West's relations with Russia, which would have put all parties and countries in the region in a lose-lose situation.

Germany's chancellor Merkel and the EU-Turkey deal in 2016 for Turkey to take back refugees crossing the Aegean sea into Greece
03/24/2016
The EU deal with Turkey is important for Merkel as she faces new provincial elections in 2017 with growing populist pressures and opposition from the CDU to refugee policy. Pressure also comes from the Social Democrats for expanding domestic welfare. Merkel still has a high approval rating of 54% in March 2016 as she works to forge a EU wide policy for refugees.

Challenges Chancellor Merkel faces in Germany on immigration and Greece's position in the eurozone in 2015
12/31/2014
In the tenth year of the Merkel administration questions are raised about whether her position on immigration is out of touch with ordinary Germans. Her New Years Eve message included a reference to the Dresden marches on immigration saying that these people had "prejudice, coldness, and even hatred in their hearts." Immigration and paying the cost of integrating immigrants was one of the issues in 2014 Swedish elections, and is an issue today in the UK and France. The terrorist attack in France by radical Muslims has created new tensions in 2015.

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.

09/21/2016
Some say if prime minister Orban of Hungary had not acted the way he did, the German government would have had more time to consider the situation. As it happened the German government and chancellor Merkel had to decide in a few hours. If Budapest, Berlin and other EU nations had communicated better the situation could have been handled in a better way instead of the sudden unplanned movement of refugees into Germany and Austria.

DW.com commissioned poll in August 2016 showing how Merkel's refugee policy is seen by the German public one year after it was announced
08/23/2016
About 51% agree it will strengthen the German economy, 45% disagree, the same numbers are seen for whether Germany's services for housing, education and healthcare will be stretched.

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.
