didn't Pakistan take 5 million afghan refugees during Russian invasion? most of those never left

Not sure it was that many but yes Pakistan did take a massive number of Afghan refugees during Russian invasion.

My understanding is that Pak hosted 5 million indiv Afghan refuges between 1979 & 2000, then WOT came along in 2001 so safe to say it's more

Good to know. My wife worked w/admitting Afghan refugees when she lived in Peshawar. I supposed I should've just asked her first.

Wow even sweden has taken in more refugees then the US!

The Islamic Republic of Sweden has taken more and is in need of a correction. Also, it's 'than' not 'then'.

But next time try not to tweet that to someone that actually live in Sweden !

They won't listen. They are too indoctrinated by what they consider 'the truth' - Goebbels would she'd proud tears >.<

True! But if i will keep pointing out BS racist propaganda abt my country =) Just to debunk it so it doesn't spread even more!

Telling you, as a German living in the Us right now, it's a history refresh course I never sighed up for...

The part of history that CAN'T be repeated is repeated all over the world!

Truth. The BS that's happening in Hamburg isn't helping *siiiigh* Fwiw - Most of Scandinavia seems sane still. For that: Tack.

46,700 refugees in Canada in 2016. We want more! Private citizens willing to house refugees. Average annual immigration = 250,000

Canada, you set a great example.

Thank you. We try. We still have lots of work to do with our indigenous communities. Not easy; however, we'll get there. #OneLove

saudi Qatar , uae , Kuwait what abt them

I seem to remember Saudi & maybe Qatar saying they took refugees but refusing to release numbers?

But given how rampant wahabbism is in those countries I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it
