Ref: Amnesty International Report 2016Tackling the global refugee crisis: From shirking to sharing responsibility
Ten countries - which account for just
2.5 percent of the global economy - are hosting
more than half the world's refugees. Wealthy countries leave poorer nations to bear the brunt of a worsening crisis.

No Profession
To perceive Syrian refugees as "troublemakers" prevents people from realizingtheir potential of contribution with their professional ability and experience.
To increase prosperity, harmony and acceptance we:
► developed job-training programs
► provided employment opportunities to Syrians
► established a common market and free trade zones for Syrian businessmen to connect with their network abroad
► encourage Syrians to work
