Persuasive Essay On Syrian Refugees

Antonio Guterres, the current Secretary-General of United Nations, stated that “ Refugees are not terrorists.They are often the first victims of terrorism” mainly referring to the Syrian refugees that have fled from ISIS and its atrocities in seeking towards a new beginning.Since the Syrian civil war started in 2011, thousands have died and been wounded including innocent children and women. As a result of this bloody war, the merciless terrorists group ISIS has been able to seize of many Syrian cities and perpetrated dozen of mass massacre within the civil population who refused to follow them causing that 45% Syrian population have been displaced and opted to seek refuge in neighborhoods countries.
