Background info:
You can divide Muslims roughly into two groups:
  • Sunnis (90% of all Muslims)

Social consequences
The consequences of conflicts are not limited to the place of the conflict because:
People flee to the nearest safe place

When people stay in their own country, you call these people displaced people.

When these people flee to other countries, usually neighbouring countries, they are called refugees.

Slide 11 - Slide

Refugees often live for years in
dirty and unsafe camps .
In 2017 there were 68 million refugees.

That is 50% more than the year before, when 45 million people were refugees.

Less than 1% of these refugees are asylum seekers in de EU.

Most are too poor to make the journey.
