Essays on Syrian Refugees

The purpose of this paper is to outline a six-week program intended to deliver a basic heart health education program to adult Syrian Refugees. A well-delivered health education program supports preventive medicine, reduces health care costs, and helps save lives (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.) . The reason for choosing Syrian refugees is because at this point in time, they represent a vulnerable population (Strong, Varady, Chahda, Doocy, & Burnham, 2015). As a group they have been under the stress of civil war for at least five years and are likely to have been displaced internally or externally. ...

Events that led to the influx of refugees in Turkey

The Arab Spring that was experienced in African countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, inspired the protest against President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s government in March 2011. The government, in response, sent its forces to contain the protest, and as a result, Syria plunged into civil war (Carpenter 2). As the war continued, alliances, mini-alliances and shifts took place throughout the region, and this led to a complex situation as the war developed dimensions involving Islamic extremists, Assad’s government, rebel groups and ethnic groups. In July 2011, defectors from the Syrian army organized a Free Syrian Army and ...

Introduction

One of the current and global issue of our time is the refugee crisis. There are thousands of desperate refugees who wanted to flee from the unbearable conflict and bloodshed in their countries, and are knocking on the doors of other more developed and peaceful nations. The question is, how far and to what extent should other countries extend support to refugees? The 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol, which is the international refugee law provided that, “refugees deserve, as a minimum, the same standards of treatment enjoyed by other foreign nationals in a given country and, in ...

Human nature can be depicted as being inherently connected and communal. This means that although most of the occurrences are deemed inhumane, usually the level of depiction of love is still greater. Human beings throughout history have influenced and participated in events that could be looked at as inhumane. Wars, torture, and acts of violence amongst differing groups are some of the occurrences that depict the dark and selfish side of human being. The general perspective of most scholars depicts human beings as destructive creatures. Often, people are of the mentality that disasters and catastrophes tend to bring out ...

General Context

The outbreak of the civil war in Syria in March 2011 resulted in the migration of an estimated 9 million Syrians who fled from their homes and sought refuge within their country and in neighboring countries. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that more than 3 million Syrians have fled to the immediate neighbors including Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. This means that about one-quarter of the population has been displaced from the country. An additional 6.5 million are internally displaced within the country. Over the last two years, the migration of these refugees has worsened ...

The migration crisis that is experienced in European countries as a result of the war in Syria began in 2011 after the Syrians citizens protesting Al-Assad’s rule. The government in response sent its troops to counter the protest and the war soon took different dimensions with army rebels and Islamic groups all forming affiliations and shifting interests in the war (Fargues & Fandrich, 2012). From the onset of the war, Turkey’s government welcomed asylum seekers and migrants from Syria calling them “guests” as they were looking forward to providing a solution to the war and also to try ...

Syrian Migration Crisis to Europe

Currently, it is estimated that millions of Syrians have escaped their homes because of the ongoing civil war that started in March, 2011- according to UNHCR report; over 4.25 million are dislocated within Syria (McFarland 139). Germany is one of the major target states for Syrian immigrants seeking refuge in Europe.

Assignment

The United Nations (UN) is an organization that prides itself on the discussion of important topics related to world peace, security, development and others but accomplishes, essentially, nothing. The history of the United Nations as well as the actions of its Secretaries proves its ineffectiveness, and demonstrates that the organization occasionally engages in biased decision-making. This, in return, has made the general public lose their trust in the US. In consideration, I would demand the United Nations Secretary General, currently Ban Ki-moon, to guide the UN in the regaining of peoples’ trust, which I am aware requires time, significant ...

Wars and conflicts with countries and even between two or more of them could bring a lot of death, strife and hunger and many families suffer the least ideal consequences imaginable from the resulting outcomes. Apart from the obvious and the greatest loss, there is one more predicament, the impacts of which last over longer time periods and that is the problem of the people who have become displaced. We can call them refugees when they flee their country, and the same group of people becomes Internally Displaced Persons if they do not cross the borders of their country. ...

Problem Statement and Recommendations

The growing influx of Mid-East refugees into Europe, particularly in last five years, cannot be overemphasized. The mass uprisings, civil wars and political persecution are leading causes for current refugee crisis. The path made by refugees into Europe's heart is, if anything, a major logistical issue, apparently minor but is at core of current refugee crisis. As Mid-East asylum seekers and refugees continue to pour into European countries and across borders, European security is at stake at multiple levels. First, "source" countries – i.e. countries at Europe's southern borders at which refugees first set foot from countries of origin – pose ...

The rapid advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) against Iraqi forces represents yet another critical milestone in Iraq’s turbulent recent history. The policy options available to the United States are complicated by the regional dimensions of the conflict and the divergent interests of key players, most notably Iran, Syria, Russia, a loose coalistion of Western countries and Sunni-regimes in the region. While most of the policy options may be framed as a search for the “least bad” policy to address this quagmire, there may be a path worth exploring to transform the situation into a rare opportunity ...
