Thousands of Syrian war refugees face repatriation from Lebanon – InfoMigrants

Approximately half of Syria’s population was forced to abandon their homes since 2011, resulting in about 20 million people being displaced both internally and abroad. Over one million Syrians fled to Lebanon — a country with a native population of roughly 4 million. Many of those who fled Syria are men, who came from parts of the country where the initial uprising against Bashar al-Assad’s government was at its strongest.

Men especially at risk — if they return

Tens of thousands of adult men now risk arrest if they return to Syria. Many fear that they will be taken to the country’s notorious prisons, where there are reports of torture and forced disappearances.

Young Syrian men, who left the country while they still where children, face having to enlist in the military as part of the country’s obligatory military service. Some fear that as the war continues in parts of the country, they could be risking their lives for a cause, which they do not believe in.

Many Syrians say they simply don’t wish to return home after spending so much time building a new home.

The UN and the European Union have reiterated their public appeals to Lebanon and Syria, requesting repatriations only to occur on a voluntary basis and without undermining the dignity of war refugees.

This was released as a single in 1989, but stalled at #55 in the UK. Six months later it was revived in the UK by DJ Steve Wright, who began replaying it on his BBC Radio One afternoon show. He reported the great listener reaction to Rocket Records, which reissued it as a double A-side along with his previous release “Healing Hands,” which had also…

Good morning dear friends, and to some of you, good evening. We are in the midst of Hurricane season on our side of the country. While we are located more inland in our state and may not experience as much damage from the storm, I wanted to take this moment to say to all of you experiencing or expecting extremely severe weather due to Hurricane Ian or other tropical storms, so please be sure to prepare yourselves as much as you possibly can. There are other tropical storms hovering in the ocean, but you and your family’s safety is on our minds. 

Anyway, whether it’s a hurricane, tornado, wildfire, snowstorm, cyclone, or sandstorm, please make sure you are as prepared as you can possibly be. Don’t wait until the last minute. Whatever you do, don’t panic and don’t worry…

La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) P4e2: “Berlin…” and No Empathy Ruins Even A Criminal’s Day

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

      The less said about this guy, the better: again, Berlin, please stay dead, and stop singing!!  In the reverse order!

   This series really is an exercise in showing why empathy is so important to have a functioning society.  Even these criminals need empathy in order to make their group function, and it shows when they don’t have any.  Not even criminal groups can function when a sociopath or a psychopath is in charge, right, Berlin, Palermo, and Gandia???

 

Poor Antonyanzas!!

Seriously…

    Last  week  was  Part 4, ep.1: La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) P4e1: “Game Over…” and Kids Need Empathy!

   “We are the Resistance.”     Now, yes…

Shira
