Dear Politicians, Before make a decision to start war, please think about peace one more time!

It’s World Refugee Day.
1. There are about 70 MILLION refugees in the world.
2. Refugees are people who have been displaced from their homes due to war, persecution, or violence. They did not choose or ask to leave their homes.
3. When displaced, people spend years in refugee camps in neighboring countries. These camps are not well-maintained, people do not get sufficient food or water, education is minimal, and many camps are attacked.
4. Some people hike to get water, sometimes for a whole day. They bring it back to their houses made from tarps (at some times) for their families to cook the meager rice they must clean to eat.
5. It can take 20 years for refugees to be placed in a new country. Some people spend their whole lives in refugee camps.
6. Being a refugee is not a choice. These people have gone through so many hardships and didn’t choose to be refugees. These people deserve to be welcomed into any country, and just want to live free from fear.

6 年How we hope these politicians could get this message straight and carry along. In 10politicians only 1 or 2 disregard greed. Only #Uruguayan president in my mind.
