Scenes of mayhem as Muslims terrified of anti-Balaka Christian militia scramble to board convey heading for Cameroon.

 

See the video here:

There have been chaotic scenes in the Central African Republic after Muslims refugees tried to join a convoy of trucks heading to Cameroon.

The people in Boali, a town located 90km north of the capital Bangui, are fleeing Christian militias that have been attacking their communities.

The World Food Programme says 150,000 Muslims have now left the country

I just saw this on the news and it's heartbreaking :(

this makes me so angry, how are you going to take your anger out on innocent people,slaughter them?  And the rest of the world is just watching on, what makes me even more angry is that Islamic countries like Turkey, Dubai and Saudi Arabia, never ever lift a finger to help their people. Only God can help them at this point.

 

This world is getting out of control, WW3 has already started in Ukraine, Syria is still fighting against the Assad regime and the extremist groups. Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan + are still under the control of extremists groups. Children are being kidnapped and forced into the rebel army in Uganda and Congo. Why is the world such a mess.

I agree with you completely but do you seriously think that Dubai is a country it's the U.A.E and turkey is hardly a Muslim country it's more on the secular side

Also, why do Islamic countries turn away refugees? They all go to Western countries. It's not a bad thing but I've always wondered, why asylum seekers always seek Western countries as their destination. Going to a country with a much more similar culture would be easier to assimilate? no? Forgive my ignorance.

Because there is very little loyalty/brotherhood left these days, even amongst people who are kin. IMO religion shouldn't matter, if people are being oppressed they deserve assistance,

It's not just Islamic countries tho.

You're completely misinformed. Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebnoon, Iran,  Egypt and Sudan have literally millions of refugees from past wards (palestinian exudos, gulf war, etc etc) They literally cannot afford to take in any more refugees. Pakistan alone hosts millions of Afghani refugees. There are around 4-5 million Palestinian refugees in the countries surrounding Israel and Palestine. while the western countries take in a few ten thousands or so (which is commendable anyways)

 

before the syrian civil war which caused a mass exodus, the country though hardly rich was hosting around 1 million palestinian refugees.

 

some useful links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_refugee_population

 

http://www.unric.org/en/world-refugee-day/26978-new-report-developing-countries-host-80-of-refugees-

 

http://www.unhcr.org.uk/about-us/key-facts-and-figures.html

 

In 2012, the country hosting the largest number of refugees remained Pakistan, with 1.6 million refugees. Afghanistan retained the position as the biggest source country, a position it has held for 32 years. On average, one out of every four refugees worldwide is Afghan, with 95% located in Pakistan or Iran. 

 

Pakistan is an impoverished country which a GDP per capita of hardly 1,000 USD btw. It has far more refugees than any other nations. 

 

It's not that muslim countries don't want to take in these latest refugees. it's just that they can't, they don't have the infrastructure to host their own citizens+current refugees itself, let alone take in more.

 

Saudi Arabia is one country that can really do so much more

Why would Middle Eastern Islamic countries help black African Muslims? It's well known that a lot of Middle Easterners look down on black Africans, even if they are Muslim.

I think it depends a lot on the country. Some are "forced" to take on a lot of refugees from neighbouring countries due to wars and conflicts, and they have as many immigrants as any western state. The other states (like the gulf countries) that don't really share a border with countries in conflict, don't really take refugees from what I've heard. On the other hand they have tons of cheap (sometimes completely unpaid) labour from south Asia. Which is really just another issue.

 

People mostly look towards western Europe (and sometimes USA) when they want to go to another country due to reputations. They might adapt easier to other countries but Europe/USA have a reputation of being wealthy and able to take care of people. In reality it's not that easy to get into most western countries either. Unless you've got a strong case and proof of being persecuted.

WTF are you saying ?  I really hope that you're either middle eastern or know somebody who is to back-up what you're saying cuz being a middle eastern living in a middle eastern country I have yet to hear of this called ''looking down on black africans''

Umm, this is common knowledge. I've had Middle Eastern friends who have acknowledged this is part of the culture as well as black African Muslim friends who have lived in the Middle East who have experienced the racism first hand.

 

Let's not act as if Middle Eastern Muslims are accepting of all their fellow Muslims. If that was the case, the South Asian migrant workers in the Gulf States wouldn't be treated the way that they are.

Racism is stupid and is spread all over the world that's the common knowledge but I'm speaking from my point of view and the way I see it in my country I haven't witnessed or heard about a racist act taken place in my entire life so I'm not gonna talk about other countries that you're friends might be from

And I'm not " acting " as anything but it's wrong to generalize it and labeling all middle eastern Muslims as abusive racists and on the subject of the South Asian migrant workers Did you know about the maid that killed 2 children one by slitting his throat and the other by drowning him or the one who killed a 26 year old with a cleaver the day before her wedding ,There is always two sides to the story you know

So you're taking isolated incidents and using them to justify widespread abuse of migrant workers?

It's more like you don't want to acknowledge the shit you're standing in and you try to make it look at as these incidents are the reasons why migrant workers are treated badly, as if they weren't treated badly before these things happened...
