How to Debunk Myths and Lies About Refugees

"Before we go any further let’s get some labels out of the way.
So: I had to leave my city, Raqqa, because of the war.
While I was on the run inside my own country, you could say I was internally displaced.
But when I crossed the border into Turkey, I became a refugee.
When I arrived in Austria, I’ve applied for asylum and While I was waiting for my application to be approved, I was an asylum-seeker.
When Austria said yes to letting me stay, I was officially recognized as a refugee.
Confused?
I’m too but at the end of the day what I wanted is to be safe!"
This is a myth-busting vlog featuring the award-winning young Syrian journalist Rania Ali.

First lie. You didn't have to leave the war zone. You chose to leave

@@travistjs1827 They defend human trafickers, they didn't wanna admit to the fact that HAMAS has used children as meatshields till they were forced to do so. They used funding in the UK to protest Trump. Which has nothing to do with human right offenses but pollitical pandering to the left
