A global mind: Refugee crisis is more than just Syrians

If all of the displaced people in the world were placed into one country, the group would form the 24th largest country in the world.

There are approximately 60 million people who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of civil war, genocide or extreme poverty. One of the groups getting the most attention is Syrian refugees, who are contributing to the largest exodus ever from a single country. The hardships these Syrians face are brutal and people need to know what is happening to them.

Yet, there’s another group of refugees that is suffering just the same and is receiving little attention. It’s a minority Muslim group called the Rohingyas and it has been cited as one of the world’s most persecuted minority groups. (Courtesy of The Brown and White)
