    85% of the world’s are hosted by regions, that’s 16.9 million human beings. This is food for thought ⬇️.

    Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries.

    Check where refugees come from ⤵️ Add that 4 out 5 will always remain in the next-door country to their own. The refugee crises are NOT in the Western & rich world. Time for us to stand with all these communities that every day stand - not here, there...
