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
