Interesting where the largest groups of Syrian refugees are concentrated, and also that the UN data suggests a lot of refugees returned to Syria in the first half of 2024 (although maybe not to places where the former regime was still in power?).

The UK comes nowhere near the Top 10 for countries 'hosting' Syrian refugees. Best current estimates for the UK are around 30,000 (down from a peak of 47,000 a few years ago).

No surprise that various states and parties are exploiting the current situation to further their own agendas - Turkey, Israel, USA and German neo-Nazis at the top of the list.

Also more evidence this week that when western states designate organisations as 'terrorist' it has very little to do with their words and actions and everything to do with cynical politicking! Hypocrisy being worn like a badge of honour!
Maajid Nawaz has an interesting take if you like to triangulate your data.
