Good news — heard this story the other day on NPR: Syrian refugees in the US — a story of opportunity, reunification and looking forward.

Bravo, Mohammed al-Refai and family!

NOTE: Don't read it, listen — radio journalism at its finest. (It was Ari Shapiro's first reporting trip as an "All Things Considered" host, too! Kudos, Ari Shapiro.)

Europe’s Syrian Dilemma - John Gustavsson


There once was a leader from Syria
Who said rebel factions cause hysteria
They'll be disbanded, he claimed
Their power now tamed
Will peace come in the land of Syria?

HTS militants looted the treasury and donation box of the Syrian Orthodox Church of St. George in #Damascus and disrupted the mass, as the priest was ordered to go home.


I'm afraid the next wave of #refugees out of Syria will be the #christians and they won't receive a welcoming reception by the western nations like those who fled the #ISIS.

“Germany is putting a pause on issuing decisions on asylum applications for Syrian citizens, in a move that may affect 47,000 pending applications…France, Austria, and several Nordic countries announced similar moves” “Austria also said it…wanted to deport refugees back to the country”.

Head of the Swedish Democrats (former Neo Nazi Party) said yesterday “it is time for Syrians to return home” just hours after report of Bashir Al-Assad fleeing the country!

The racism and hypocrisy of these politicians is nauseating. I have NEVER seen anything like this in the past and it is unbelievable that most people seems to be OK with it.

Human Rights Watch: *Northeast Syria: Displacement Worsens Aid Crisis*

"Ensure Civilians’ Right to Shelter, Food, Health, Basic Necessities"

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/12/11/northeast-syria-displacement-worsens-aid-crisis

"Tens of thousands of civilians seeking safety in Kurdish-controlled northeast #Syria are facing dire conditions due to the lack of adequate shelter, water, food, and health care, Human Rights Watch said today. All parties to the conflict in Syria are obligated to ensure the unimpeded flow of aid, safe passage to fleeing civilians, and protection for those who stay.

On November 27, a coalition of armed groups including Hay’et Tahrir al Sham (#HTS) and the Syrian National Army (#SNA) opened military operations against the former government of Bashar al-Assad. Seeking safety from SNA factions seizing territory throughout #Aleppo governorate, more than 100,000 people fled to areas governed by the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (#AANES). The situation is exacerbating an acute and longstanding crisis, with overcrowded camps and severely damaged infrastructure and a lack of water, power, healthcare, food, and weather-appropriate shelter. …"

In Germany, Syrians now debate,
If it's time to escape their past fate,
As Assad's regime starts to crumble,
Their thoughts begin to jumble,
Should they go back or embrace their new state?

Be much easier to use as a concentration camp now we can tell the Nauru govt to ban media and investigators rather than having to ask them.

#UN employee shot dead by Israeli sniper in occupied West Bank

"Sufyan Jaber Abed Jawwad, a sanitation worker with the UN agency for #Palestinian #refugees, was the first #Unrwa employee killed in the #WestBank in more than a decade. Shot in the early hours of Thursday morning in el Far’a camp, he left behind a wife and five children.
...The killing came days after Israeli airstrikes on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza killed six UNWRA staff members, bringing the total number of agency employees killed in this war to at least 220. Israel’s military said three of the dead Unrwa workers were Hamas employees, without providing evidence."

'We’ve seen how the media has adopted language used by politicians including the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, with headlines full of words like “criminals”, “safety”, “fear” and “community protection”.

'This language criminalises refugees, provides language for the government to hide behind and shapes public perceptions.'

Albanese Govt cements adoption of to tactics of Hanson, Howard, Abbott and Dutton in its legislative demonisation of refugees and asylum seekers.
