Article by Siraj Davis: Like and share please The future outlook for the refugees of Jordan is also abysmal, without a sudden and significant proliferation of international aid. What is needed is more direct accounting of aid distribution supervisors; more omnipresent and unbiased agencies to directly supervise the distribution of aid and offer protection and services for these refugees with puissance; and the granting of more rights by the Jordanian government. These are only temporary answers, however. Yet, they are exigent, as one Syrian refugee commented about waiting for a political solution: To the people who wait for the regime to collapse, more people will die. The long-term solution is apparent: the armed conflict in the refugees countries of origin needs to be squashed and these refugees should be compensated for their losses and protected if repatriated; or they should be given the full rights as other citizens enjoy within their country of refuge, or in another. Refoulement, the act of forcibly removing the refugee back to his or her country, is absolutely not an option until the former demand of security and compensation is met. To accept anything contrary to these drafted suggestions would be a travesty. Otherwise, the frightening situation for Syrian and Iraqi refugees is that their lengthy stay in exile will become like what most of the registered and unregistered Palestinians — who were interviewed — complained of being: a permanent lost people without a homeland living as an unequal and oppressed minority in another. As one Syrian refugee stated about her possible resolution during an Al Jazeera interview: I dont care if Assad is still there. As long as I can go back to Syria. I hope we dont have the same destiny as the Palestinians,. who fled their country and never got back again. fairobserver/region/middle_east_north_africa/stateless-jordan-life-refugee-part-2/
