Years of civil war have cost the livelihood and lives of millions. |
~ Our president, 02 Jan 2019
Nothing there but sand and half a million who've died. And five million who've fled the country for their lives, leaving home and everything behind. And six million still inside the country who've been driven from their homes by the war. More than a thousand children were killed or injured just in the first two months of last year.
There's nothing there we care about there, nothing we need to be concerned about, at least according to this administration.
Having been welcomed into the homes of just a few like these, having met many of their children, I cannot begin to grasp what is behind such thinking.
