The UAE is going to start taking in Syrian refugees

About time. The way everyone has been expecting Europe to absorb this landslide while even wealthy neighbouring countries does nothing has surprised me.

Edit: and yes, I do have empathy towards the Syrians. I just don't think sending all to Europe is sustainable and we could help more of them locally which I would appreciate even if it meant another monthly 50€ of taxes.

Is there anyone even left in Syria now?!

Google says population of 22.85 million, that article says 5 million are 'registered or are awaiting registration' so about a quarter of the population have been displaced, that's insane!
