The President of “bread for the world” is not at all pleased with the way the political debate about refugees in Germany. Cornelia Füllkrug-Weitzel annoyed in particular, what this country under the term root causes for migration are understood. “These are not the reasons why people come to Europe, but the reasons why they left their homeland!”, represents the Protestant pastor at a press conference with representatives of Terre des Hommes and Welthungerhilfe in Berlin clearly. Because the focus is so shifted, the course also of the German government and other EU governments announced the fight against the root causes for migration are often in the wrong direction. “When it comes to the arrival of refugees in Europe, to limit, may you please not Fluchtursachenbekämpfung call”, stressed Füllkrug-Weitzel.

Their criticism of the recent plans of the Federal government falls hard from: the arbitrary determination of “safe” countries of origin, Grenzzäunen and the weakening of international conventions for the protection of refugees, to help politicians in the election campaign, but not to the refugees.
Actually, would people prefer in the regions to stay, from which they originate, emphasize the representatives of the relief organisations. That they still, after Füllkrug-Weitzels view, “the short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness of European politicians” to do. This would have failed, the means for an adequate supply of Fleeing into neighbouring countries. The President of the “bread-for-the-world” refers to the fact that the UN refugee Agency) UNHCR in the past year, your rations for Syrian refugees have halved, because international promised money is not received.

“I was recently in Jordan and the first sentence of the Syrians is that they get back to their home want to”, confirmed Bärbel Dieckmann, President of Welthungerhilfe. They warned that a further quarter of a million Syrians from Aleppo would save if the city to the troops of the ruler Bashar al Assad fall. “The city looks now, like Cologne, after 2. World war.” But the Middle East is only one of the many trouble spots. Worldwide are now 60 million people on the run. “We observe an increase of Refugees in countries with armed conflicts”, says Dieckmann. Most of the refugees are there in Pakistan, but also in Kenya is a refugee camp with 450.000 Somaliern emerged. “We are Europe, not to close off,” warned the Welthungerhilfe President. Many of the people would come here and would have to be integrated.
For the original conflicts, there needs to be political solutions, calling for the aid agencies. But especially the example of Syria shows how confusing the situation can be. There are many actors on the road, partly to fight as proxies for other regional powers. The Islamist and terrorist Milizien, in turn, maintain international Connections to Bruderorganisationen. So, there are offshoots of the conflict to Asia, Africa and Europe. “It overwhelmed us charities,” says Dieckmann and it certainly looks like it, so if the international diplomacy is partly lost the Overview. Your colleague Füllkrug-Weitzel calls a long breath, with the pacification of the combat zones. “Europe has taken centuries to peace and democracy”, she conjures.
