Biggest refugee camp. And, training on a Holiday Island and how indias coast can be better protected. They have to be under 40, play an active role in society, and be outstanding and everything they do. That is what makes a young global leader. A political advisor is such a young global leader. He told our reporters what he thinks about european refugee policies. The combination of migrants, particularly muslim migrants, the very insecure economic environments after years of the euro crisis, the rise of the nationalistic far right and the lack of institutional mechanisms and the European Union to handle refugees at this number poses a potentially very dangerous threat to the whole european project. I am sony kapoor. I run a International Think tank. I advise governments and International Institutions on economics and governance issues. The eu is the most successful peace and prosperity generating project, despite all recent problems. Merkel, who must be applauded for her stance, very open stance , to welcoming refugees, has been, perhaps, those prominent European Union who has displayed leadership on this. If people are so desperate that they are risking death and, given that germany was responsible for driving millions of people out of europe as refugees, it is incumbent upon germany to be the country that takes the lead in welcoming people fleeing from conflict elsewhere. There is a lot of fear mongering in germany and elsewhere. Some of this has to do with all refugees carry diseases. Some of it is that refugees have an antifemale attitude. In all of this, the numbers are clear. It is nonsense. The refugee crisis offers opportunity to start tackling the single biggest structural challenge to the Economic Future and prosperity of the European Union, the declining population, the aging demographic, and the low growth. The biggest projections are that the European Union will get 3 million migrants over two years or three years. These numbers are still smaller than what has been estimated what europe needs. Explaining to citizens that migrants coming in can help plug what most citizens care about gaps in provision of social services, teachers in schools that have shortage of staff, construction workers, doctors, i think the economic benefits are a slamdunk. It is hard to predict the direction europe will go in. Europe has shown the ability to reinvent itself. Anchor millions worldwide have been forced to flee their homes. 60 Million People flee violence and conflict, looking for security in other countries. Even if they find it, they must spend months or years in refugee camps. What should be temporary becomes permanent. Hundreds of thousands of refugees live in central africa, in chad, cameroon.

When he fled the drc, his father, a journalist was being targeted by our militias. Many have horrifying stories to tell. I had to go away will my father was taken away.

Monica is also studying at the Online University and she says that, in the 1990s, she was forced by militias of the current president to recruit child soldiers. She became an outcast in her village and had to flee. The studies have revived her optimism. Whats africa has got so many chances of dean employed or lifted up. Outside of africa, there is no chance.

You want to start up a company, perhaps him allowing perhaps in malawi. She cannot return to uganda. She fears she would be prosecutors by the government and the local rulers. They are mentored by tutors and their professors are in the united states. The leadership consider that as a way to serve people who are at the margins, people who are disadvantaged.
