I spoke to a reguee I have followed for years. Read the below and tell me its not ENOUGH? “They are fleeing with just the clothes on their backs. When will it stop? Who will stop it? What will stop it? For a decade now they have been living under the most horrific circumstances. Only six months after the invasion of Iraq, terrorism, named Jihad, against non-Muslims (and now also Muslims) started. The family I spoke to today fled from death threats in Baghdad to Damascus, Syria in 2007. When the war started in Syria, they fled back to Mosul in north Iraq, in 2012. In June of this year they had to flee the genocide brought on by the Islamic State. This time they fled to Qarakosh in the Nineveh Plain. But just a couple of days later, they had to run, on their feet, hours and hours, with their children on their shoulders, to Erbil in the Kurdish Regional Government. And now, a couple of days ago, the father went to Baghdad to try to get identification cards, passports, anything that proves who they are. Otherwise they can not travel, emigrate, or even be employed. They can not prove who they are. Stranded. Again! For how long?” #DemandForAction #SafeHavenNow
