Report on: Syrian exodus

Syrian exodus

What is happening in Syria? Do you know a place that has so much war and conflict? How did the civil war start? Why are Syrians leaving their country? Where is there President now? Why are Syrians going to Europe?  Why does it affect the world?

What is happening in Syria?

In Syria there is civil war,they are in war against their own citizens.  War, conflict, arguing and fighting are the things that you see in Syria. These are the problems that affect them and others but it can also affect the world.  They are also going elsewhere with no citizenship at all.

How can it affect the world?

It can affect the world because they are accepting refugees that are bringing more conflict and war. Refugees are escaping their country because of the civil war. Policemen are torturing the people, they are dying in much pain. They are doing this for they don’t want people to leave the country.

Do you know why Nations are not accepting refugees?

Well, they are not accepting refugees because they will not have enough money to pay for their accommodation, supplies, food, water, shelter and hospitality. Every year in New Zealand we accept 800 refugees and we pay for all the things they need. And guess what!!! In about 5 years we have already accepted 4,000 refugees and now they are living here in our country (New Zealand). Sometimes Nations and countries don’t accept refugees because they are bad. Also because they can go to a country and teach children bad stuff like guns and knives. And that is what you call isis. They are the real isis ones. Sometimes even New Zealand does not accept them because we won’t have enough money to pay for them.

Why don’t we have enough money to pay for them?

We won’t have enough money to pay for them because we accept 800 refugees every once a year. And that means we are paying lots of money for them and probably over 2,000. Also because there are also lots of poor people in our country that we need to put first.

Why do Nations fera about this issue?

In Syria more than 200,000 people have lost their homes and lives in four years of armed conflict. More than 11 million people have been forced by their president to: battle each other and have civil war. Some Nations fear that some migrants could be infiltrators. In June 2013 90,000 people had been killed in conflict and civil war. In Syria if you wanted to escape and go to another country then you have to pay 81,000 dollars.

One thing that can happen if you escape?

One time a man paid someone to take his family to another country and a big wave came and his little boy fell off the boat and was found washed up on the beach dead. Also the mother died and the older brother. They all drowned because they could not swim. The only person that survived was the father and his sister in Canada said that she was worried about him.

Why does Syria have such a big issue?

Syria has a big issue because they always have civil war and also because there are many bad refugees that are torturing people and travelling to other countries with no citizenship at all. Also because some people are losing their lives and getting killed because they want to leave their country.

What has happened to the president?

The President has been kidnapped by the isis people and since he is kidnapped he can’t do anything about this issue and situation in Syria. We still don’t know if the President is alive or dead. But hopefully we will all find out on the news to see what has happened to the refugees and what the isis people are doing to them. Also the isis people are making plans and going undercover as Syrian migrants so people won’t see who they really are.

What has happened?

As Syria’s crisis has escalated (increase), smuggling operations have grown more sophisticated (revealing) and refugees in camps in Turkey,Jordan and Lebanon are increasingly desperate to get out. In the nine months to September,4,552 migrants were rescued in the waters around chios alone more than twice the number for the whole of 2013.
