World Refugee Day & Our Silence - "Too Foreign For Here// Too Foreign For Home//Never Enough For Both"

Lately, the conversations on refugees have been centred around the United States, who has been separating Mexican parents from their children, as part of President Trump’s zero tolerance policy on illegal immigrants. These are a people leaving Mexico because of the violence from gangs and other organized criminal groups.

Shortly before the United States, there were stories on our timelines about Syrians. Since 2016, it has apparently been reported that from a population of 22million, the United Nations identified 13.5million Syrians requiring humanitarian assistance, with more than 6 million being internally displaced and an estimated 5million being refugees outside of Syria. In March 2011 there was a civil war outbreak in Syria, following a conflict arising after a forceful crackdown on peaceful student protest against the government of Bashar al-Assad.
