FLASHBACK: “The Five Wealthiest Gulf Nations Have So Far Refused To Take A Single Syrian Refugee”Back towards the end of 2015 the Daily Mail reported that the Five wealthiest Gulf nations had up until that point refused to take a single Syrian refugee.
From The Daily Mail:
Yet, as debate rages between politicians in Europe over how many they should take, nearby super-wealthy Gulf nations of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have refused to offer sanctuary to a single Syrian refugee.
Amnesty International’s Head of Refugee and Migrants’ Rights, Sherif Elsayid-Ali, described their inaction as ‘shameful’.
He said: ‘The records of Gulf countries is absolutely appalling, in terms of actually showing compassion and sharing the responsibility of this crisis… It is a disgrace.’
At the time that the report was released there had already been more than 4 million Syrian refugees that had been displaced from the fighting that was taking place.
Where was the outrage from the left over this matter?
There are surrounding nations that had been made wealthy from oil that had refused to take a single Syrian refugee.With headlines like this one from CNN,
where was the rage from the media over all these surrounding nations that refused to lift a finger to help refugees from a nearby country?
