Central African Republic: Every day, 42,000 more are forcibly uprooted by armed conflicts, natural disasters, persecution and inequality, according to Huffington Post Canada. Most aren't trying to reach Europe or faraway Canada. There are 60 million displaced people in the world. Their destinations are often those nearest to the emergency -- inside or around Syria, Sudan, Colombia, the Central African Republic, Yemen or Burundi -- places nowhere near G8 members and whose resources are already strained. After fleeing the horror and devastation that hit their homes, many face closed borders and discriminatory policies. Media reports speak of waves and mass influxes, but the reality is a patchwork of deeply individual stories: women, men, children and elderly people leaving everything behind to rebuild elsewhere.
