Thanks, Christian, I agree.
I have done volunteer work with refugee families arriving in the United States. I have worked with Syrian refugees and Congolese refugees through World Relief here in Durham. I expect to work with Ukranian refugees. At local World Relief events, I see refugees from all of these countries, together with people who support them, all interacting with each other and sharing their stories. The victims of war have a lot in common, no matter where they are from.

Dear Mohammed Reda,
Thanks for your reply.
I can only agree on what you are saying: We are all human.
By focusing on the Ukrainian war, we didn’t want to trivialise any single other conflict in the world now and in the past. That’s one of the reasons why donating money to large NGOs like Médecins Sans Frontières is a good idea: They are operating in many countries worldwide, including Syria, Irak, Afghanistan and Palestine, and they have helped thousands of refugees to safely arrive in Europe.
Next to that, Syrian refugees in Germany are now helping out Ukrainians, and they share similar experiences. It’s wonderful to see people supporting each other, no matter where they come from or what’s their religion.
It’s questionable for me to judge this as hypocritical, though. The easiest way is always to be quiet. I wonder if that would be better? Can we be fair at all as soon as we get specific? Maybe we should neither focus on Ukraine nor Syria nor Afghanistan, but start with Central Africa and think about the 5 million people who have died in the Second Congo War and its aftermath. Does anyone remember that war today, which had just ended 19 years ago?
Thanks again, best regards, Christian

Hi everybody,
I hope you're doing well,
I think that creating an Ukrainian edition will not stoping putin....
I don't know why you never thought about creating a palastinian,
irakian, syrian or afghan editions??? These people suffer since years or decades... Creating Ukrainian edition is just hypocrisy!!!
What i'm saying doesn't mean that i am agree with putin's war against
Ukrainian people. But we're all human and nobody deserves what's going on Ukraine, palastine or Afghanistan.
