Migrants and refugees are easy political targets | What's Unsaid

from The New Humanitarian

A visit to Inzargai refugee registration centre in Afghanistan's Kandahar province prompts host Ali Latifi to explore how governments around the world are weaponising anti-refugee and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Economic and security "frustrations are absolutely real", Professor Muhammad Zaman, director of the Center on Forced Displacement at Boston University, tells him. "The outsider is an easy and convenient way to let some of that steam out, without really solving the problems." What's Unsaid is a bi-weekly podcast by The New Humanitarian, where we explore open secrets and uncomfortable conversations around the world's conflicts and disasters.
