Is creating a new nation for the world’s refugees a good idea ? | Global Development Professionals Network

Je ne sais pas si c’est un cas d’accaparement mais c’est #facepalm

Mmmhhh... c’est quoi « facepalm » ?

C’est mettre sa tete dans ces mains, ça veut dire qu’on est consterné ou accablé par une nouvelle.

#Refugia: the limits and possibilities of Buzi’s Refugee Nation

Alongside such traditional solutions, I think we need to give Refugia a try – as a model, a ‘new Jerusalem’, an alternative that might spawn imitations and improvements. By this, I do NOT mean a sordid camp, but a country that offers citizenship, security, employment and a future for young people. Of course, there are legitimate questions of finding a location that does not adversely affect a local population, of leadership and full democracy, of whether full religious freedoms can be offered when overzealous beliefs have triggered such murderous consequences. I have a starting point on these issues that departs from Buzi’s agenda. He is too beguiled by money and benign billionaires. I think a temporary UN Trust, a High Commissioner of the stature of Mary Robinson, protection by the Blue Berets until a standing army can be raised and a timetable for full control by Refugians show a better way forward. I think he is right to call on us to act to ameliorate the major moral mutilation of our times.
