Interesting piece, and it’s good to hear of the state actively promoting integration of refugees. Some would say it is the greatest attribute of civilized behaviour – hospitality, in which case you could also say that a great many of us could learn a great deal from the hospitable peoples of Africa.

I thought it was interesting. I think since most states actively participate in creating refugees, they should actively promote integration.

‘Most states participate in creating refugees’ A good point. And about which most states are very tight- lipped, and too many of us citizens too incurious to query.

I think the citizens only see the refugees. The role of their states is never mentioned in the process

I like to think of a refugee as someone temporarily displaced. In which case, the ideal is for them to return home.
If the UN and the world community insists that the home country must take back these people….
Yup, idealistic.

When borders were fluid, refugees would be easily assimilated wherever they were found. With strict national borders and passports and what nots, I agree that the ideal is for them to return home.

This writer over emphasizes the positivity of this religiosity, of course. c.f., the “Kill the Gays” law. A nasty combination of traditional patriarchy and imported from the western colonizers religious intolerance.

Those laws, I think, should be blamed on the American evangelicals.
Talking of religious intolerance, I read in a history tract, how this played out between Catholics, protestants and Muslims especially in Uganda.

Oh no doubt, Maka! And the Tangerine Menace is totally beholden to these toxic fools. (The meme that it was the American working class to blame for Donald is only partly true. It was more the white evangelical vote that gave us this disaster.)

Congratulations on proving that it is fine to welcome strangers into your land. Now can Uganda teach Donald The Fool this lesson? Good job on sharing this, my Kenyan brother! Naked hugs!

Sort of reminds of a country that was built from refugees. A country that welcomed newcomers with open arms. At least on the face of things. Racial and religious bigotry notwithstanding among communities, things tended to work out eventually.
That country became a once great nation. It has fallen somewhat since.

That’s the irony. Some of the settlers were running from religious bigotry in England. Now the refugee is trying to kill them.
