Countries that are the Source of Refugees

It's a low intensity war in one part of the country (though still war), and most of the country is peaceful and perfectly fine to visit / live, apart from economic troubles brought about by the war and reduced trade with Russia. That's why it's not such a big everday news like Syria, Iraq, Yemen, or e.g. Bosnia in the past.

I think Ukraine is in last place, or, second-to-last, next to Moldova. People are looking for any excuse to leave, probably.

Not to mention, they, apparently, can't legally draft their citizens to fight the war. The war defending their own sovereignty & territorial integrity. I don't know who lacked forethought when creating that rule. Apparently they're an intelligent populace. Quick way to selectively kill off your country's most valuable males- by only allowing the ones who will voluntarily die for it to do so.

Look it up for yourself. Yes, they can/do ask military-aged males to fight. No, AFAIK, there are no serious repercussions to refusniks. Good motivation to travel abroad.

Just to correct something since you seems to have been got by the Russian bots a bit. Yes Ukraine was not an unambiguous hero before the insurgency began, but to say they outright banned the Russian language is a lie and a silly one too. Zelensky's first language is literally Russian. The oppression came in the form of requiring Ukrainian as the language of education as opposed to Russian, despite many parts of eastern Ukraine being majority Russian speaking. While this is a textbook nationalist tactic to decrease the power of local minorities, it is incredibly far from outright banning the language, and tacking on the term racist just makes it seem like you're pushing an agenda, whether you mean to or not.

Same.

According to something I read more recently there are actually a large number of refugees in Saudi Arabia now but I think the majority came from Syria.

It struck me that Colombia is on this list... A more recent list would include Venezuela for sure, as 600,000 Venezuelans have fled to Colombia and many more have fled to other neighboring countries. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article204753119.html

But since most of those countries are *also* on the list...

The horn of Africa isn't exactly a hotspot of prosperity or stability.

Same here too. I was pretty shocked to see China, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Where do the Chinese flee to ? And where do the Sri Lankans go ? It's an Island and the only Island nation in the list. I was wondering weather they swim through the Palk Strait and come to India or not.

I was the opposite. I was sure Vietnam would be on here.

Also it didn't actually happen.

It's strange isn't it - the idea of classing anyone as a refugee if their (great) grandfather was a refugee. That logic would make me a refugee, as my grandmother fled Czechoslovakia in 1938.

Also many or most got another citizenship by now.

Just off the top of my head the Central African Republic and Nigeria have problems with violence resulting in refugees which decidedly come under the "Muslim" category (Boko Haram and the Séléka).

Admittedly they are not "Muslim countries" though, although Nigeria is probably majority-Muslim, just.

Don't forget how the people in China's two westernmost provinces (Tibet and Xinjiang). They are treated horribly
