Syrian Refugees: Where is a Safe Place to Go?

  It is important to mention that the topic is quite actual at the time. The conflict within Syrian borders is lasting for three years, moreover, it doesn't seem to have an end at the nearest time. For the sake of Syrian civilians international community including states' governments, decision-makers, UN, non-governmental organizations as well as civil society should mobilize all the efforts in order to reach the conflict settlement.

  In fact, a lot of people were forced to leave there homeland because of bombings, military actions in in populated areas, ceaseless bloodshed and suppression from the local government. Obviously, these sufferers who are challenged by their destiny are simply willing to find a safe place to live. Most of them lost their families, nearest and dearest ones, therefore, they need to feel themselves in security and to be accepted by civil society of other states. Generally, these steps could help embarrassed persons to find power to start again enjoying life, to be a part of society, to raise children and provide them with opportunity for the better future.

  However, not everybody support the concept of shared responsibility and help for the ones in need. As International Amnesty Secretary General Salil Shetty says European countries are able to take part in accommodation of Syrian refugees on their territory more actively. It means they have a potential to provide camps for much more people systematically during particular period of time. Though, most of the EU states rank their own security higher than human lives of refugees. They do not permit refugees stay at their territory fearing instability and insecurity. Grassroots of the attitude is found in extreme right parties' anti-immigrant policies which are increasingly supported in public community.

  Anyway, the enermous flow of illegal immigrants try to get to one of the EU countries through sea, forests or mountains. As a result, the accident near the island of Farmakonisi, Greece took place on 22nd of January 2014. Precisely, 1 kid and 1 women are dead, another 10 people are still missed in the sea when their boat was bein towed by Greek coastguard vessel. Some non-governmental organizations suppose Greek side did it intentionally in order to prevent immigrants from landing on the Greek soil. However, an unbiased investigation is necessary to suggest such conclusions.

  In a nutshell, I'd like to emphasize the fact that Syrian or any other refugees lives are equal to our lives. These braveheart people experienced a lot of unpleasant and even awful things for ordinary persons, their Human Rights were abused. Consequently, they deserve to find a safe place for recovering and good treatment as well.
