It's June 20 -- WORLD REFUGEE DAY -- today. With more than 4.8 billion people living in the 'third world' (countries with high poverty rates, history of colonialism, lack of infrastructure, high population growth, political and civil unrest...etc) it's no wonder the phenomena of refugees is so prevalent.
World Refugee Day -- besides acknowledging the plight of refugees -- doesn't do much in the way of solving these plights. After all, Darfur is a crisis in existence right now.
