Due to the recent election results, our new president Donald Trump has made an executive order suspending refugees from coming into America. The ones mostly affected by the ban includes people Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. This ban will keep refugees in war zones. This ban is to support the idea of protecting America against Terrorism. This ban is unjust and inhumane to those refugees trying to seek a better life for them and their families."Every day our teams on the ground see people desperately seeking safety at closed borders and in war zones from which they cannot flee," said Jason Cone, executive director of MSF USA. Due to this ban many people who are just seeking a more fit life can not do so. This ban is unjust and inhumane to those refugees trying to seek a better life for them and their families. In the predicament that most Refugees are in they are trying to escape the types of conflict in their home lands.
"Refugees are mothers and fathers and children who want what we all want: a safe place to live their lives, free from war and persecution," Cone said. " many are trying to remove the ban as it is an exclusion of race. This is a example of inhumanity because Trump has no care for the refugees as whom he has put a stereotype on.

Many countries come to the aid of others when they are in a crisis. "In Aleppo, South Sudan, 70% of the women in the Civilian Protection Camps have reported being raped, and 78% have been forced to watch violent sexual attacks." Rape is being used as a weapon of war, and these inhumane acts need to come to an end. When people do these kinds of actions, they are not thinking about how the person on the receiving end will be affected. "Civilians are being slaughtered, and children are being forced into the roles of child soldiers." The death rates in South Sudan are on the rise, and the only option that the citizens have is to flee their country, and leave everything behind. It is unjust for another country to kill thousands of people a day, just because of a disagreement. Other countries need to start paying more attention to the genocide that is happening in Aleppo, and help to improve their situation.
