Human over-population strips the landscape and leads to never-ending strife and chaos.  This area has one of the fastest growing populations on earth despite the horrible circumstances. When will the member nations of the U.N. recognize that its failed refugee policies never address THE PROBLEM.  The UNHCR sounded a dire warning in Oct 2012 when it said the world had an 'unprecedented' 45.2-million refugees. In Oct 2016, UNHCR reported 65-million. The refugee numbers keep growing, while the populations in those warring homelands continue to sky-rocket.  Western nations who signed the U.N. Convention on Refugees cannot continue to absorb refugees when so many other member nations refused to sign the convention. It will take strong determined leadership to set up 'safe zones' over THERE.  Education about family planning and birth control must be tied to aid. We can no longer accept that harmful antiquated beliefs are 'sacrosanct' and unchangeable.  Change must happen THERE.
