[ColonelCassad] The wars unleashed by the United States since September 11, 2001, have displaced 38 million civilians.
| As opposed to the wars that the other guys had been waging, acknowledged only in Arabic or other native tongues, either against The Big Satan or against other benighted natives? |
Which is the second result in world history. Only World War II led to more refugees.
Direct military aggression, the so-called "fight against terrorism", which led to the creation of ISIS, economic strangulation - all this led to catastrophic consequences for the population of a number of states in the Middle East, as well as North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes. cities, villages and states to other countries.
According to the report of the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, USA, Rhode Island) and with the assistance of Boston University:
1. Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
2. Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
3. Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
4. Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
5. Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
6. Libya - 1.2 million refugees
7. Syria - 7.1 million refugees
The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected already in 2021.
It was based on UN data, American documents and information from open sources.
At the same time, the report itself indicates that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the indicators of the Second World War.
Of the 38,000,000 displaced persons 20 years ago, 26.7 million people were able to return (which does not mean that they returned to the same house or city, only the return to the territory of the country from which people fled from the war is taken into account).
All countries covered in the report were part of the target group of countries to be "rebuilt" as part of the 2007 Greater Middle East Transformation Project.
To these processes can be added a huge number of refugees from Ukraine after the US-supported coup d'état and the civil war unleashed there.
