Syria Has Largest Number of Refugees

  • 9 years ago
More than 800,000 refugees have arrived in Europe this year, with the highest number coming from Syria. Some analysts believe that the main cause of the exodus is terrorism and that the timing and numbers of refugees indicate that the issue is political rather than humanitarian, They charge that the aim is to increase pressure on the Syrian government and justify a military intervention in the country on the grounds that the government is unable to protect its people.
