You’re not welcome here, France’s far-right mayor tells Syrian refugee - Daily Sabah
These innocent people who are fleeing from war and death are not even welcome in the country that destroyed their country. Was Assad the dictator not placed there by France and UK in WW1? In my opinion these refugees have 100% rights to come to France.
What do you have to say about this, before you go to Europe.
Saudi Arabia has 100,000 air-conditioned tents sitting empty, still won’t take Syrian refugees
As
Saudi Arabia faces mounting criticism for refusing to take in any of the millions of Syrians fleeing conflict in their homeland, it was revealed this weekend that the country has over 100,000 empty, air-conditioned tents that could house up to 3 million refugees.
The tents, located roughly 2,150 miles from Syria in the city of Mina, are only used a few days a year to house pilgrims on their way to Mecca for the hajj, the news station TeleSUR
reported.
The huge tents are also fireproof and equipped with kitchen and bathroom facilities.
But while Europe struggles to find space to take in the millions of asylum seekers making the perilous journey there,
Saudi Arabia has been largely unresponsive to the crisis.
According to the to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are about 500,000 Syrians living in
Saudi Arabia, but they are not classified as asylum seekers and it is not known when they arrived in the country.
Other reports indicate that
Saudi Arabia has not taken in any new refugees, along with Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
No Gulf country has signed the U.N. Convention on Refugees, an accord standardizing the level of treatment of people fleeing to new countries.
Saudi authorities insist they had done all they can to support refugees by allowing them residency in the country, but say they do not brag about their support to the media.
Last week Saudi officials offered to build 200 new mosques in Germany to accommodate Muslim refugees.
