Stop the Wars! Stop the Chaos!

Global Refugee

Crisis: Made in the

 U.S.A.

The ongoing refugee crisis in Europe is a direct result of U.S. and NATO aggression in the Middle East. The result of endless war and regime change policies are death, destruction and chaos resulting in the current flood of refugees. In recent years the U.S. has bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and Syria. Who is next? The surest way to stop the flood of refugees is for the U.S. and NATO to stop intervening in the affairs of other nations.

   “By one not unreasonable estimate, as many as four million Muslims have died or been killed as a result of the ongoing conflicts that Washington has either initiated or been party to since 2001.

There are, in addition, millions of displaced persons who have lost their homes and livelihoods, many of whom are among the human wave currently engulfing Europe. There are currently an estimated 2,590,000 refugees who have fled their homes from Afghanistan, 370,000 from Iraq, 3,880,000 million from Syria, and 1,100,000 from Somalia. The United Nations Refugee Agency is expecting at least 130,000 refugees from Yemen as fighting in that country accelerates. Between 600,000 and one million Libyans are living precariously in neighboring Tunisia.

The number of internally displaced within each country is roughly double the number of those who have actually fled and are seeking to resettle outside their homelands. Many of the latter have wound up in temporary camps run by the United Nations while others are paying criminals to transport them into Europe.

Significantly, the countries that have generated most of the refugees are all places where the United States has invaded, overthrown governments, supported insurgencies, or intervened in a civil war.”
