31. Odd how some people don't see a connection from the NATO actions in Libya to a refugee crisis...

Not only the direct NATO bombing, but also flooding the place with weapons. It also destabilized northwest African countries like Mali. Sad to see so many unable to fit these puzzle pieces together.
