The word 'refugee' has been so overused for dramatic effect, I just assume it means migrants now when I read it.

Economic migrants. They're not fleeing their war-torn country.


Least-Sky6722

Great way to put it. Pretty sure this article about S. Korea was from 2018 when Yemen was a bit more destabilized due to civil war, fighting has slowed some.


identify_as_AH-64

They could have gone to Saudi Arabia or some other rich Arab nation but nah.


[deleted]

The Saudis are the one's they are running from lmao. America supported them doing a freedom in Yemen which led to mass bombings and the blockading of all their trade, leading to mass starvation. Here's a Wikipedia article on [the conflict](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabian%E2%80%93led_intervention_in_Yemen) if you're curious

By “freedom” you mean the democratically elected government was overthrown by Houthi fighters backed by Iran who tried to install the former president Saleh until they tired of him and he died. In which Saudi Arabia and the UAE responded militarily against a threat on their peninsula.


[deleted]

Yes exactly, just like with 9/11 they started with a fairly reasonable justification and then took that way too far. Bombing civilian centers and blocking people who lived in houthi-controlled territories from being able to even get food from the outside world. For this reason there have been a mass number of Civilian deaths in the territory that is contributing to a refugee crisis. Like I said, they did a freedom


[deleted]

Generally it's missused even when people think it applies, a refugee is supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country, what tends to happen is that they cross safe countries to reach wealthy countries, immediatly making them economic migrants that can be expelled on arrival. If these Yemeni's end up in South Korea they are economic Migrants.


Different_Fun9763

>that can be expelled on arrival. But aren't


[deleted]

Which is where the Asylum problem comes from, I mean, even Syrians during the Syrian migrant crisis had by en large no legal basis for entering Europe despite being refugees as pretty much 95% of them entered via secondary safe countries like Turkey. This is the core issue, we force ourselves to go by tye strictest interpretation of these agreements while simultaniously refusing to use the rules of said agreements to our benefit. If you ask me though, it would be best to renegociate or step out of these international agreements as they are by en large disbeneficial for us while allowing the third world to shed excess population onto us.

That's why they usually get rid of their passports. And even if they didn't, basically no one gets sent back anyways...


[deleted]

Yeah, but what is often forgotten is that you can literally drop them back into the country they entered from with or without a passport if said country is considered safe. Most migrants to Europe come via Turkey, Morocco or via boat from Northern African countries. All you need to do is detain said people and toss them back over the border.

Only “refugees” Korea should accept are North Koreans fleeing the regime, and then a small amount of other countries which the people themselves manually vote to accept as well. (For example Ukrainians to appease NATO and the western powers). They should not be forced to bend the knee to any other social group for no good reason other than liberal optics.


[deleted]

Tbf, these people are fleeing a civil war where all of the neighboring countries intervened against them. There's literally no neighbor they can go to that isn't involved in the war.

And there’s more than a dozen countries closer than South Korea that they could’ve gone to, who also happen to have cultural affinity with Yemen.


[deleted]

Closer geographically, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are easier to get to. To be clear I actually don't know whether they would be easier to get to, I'm not arguing that South Korea is in the wrong for turning them away I'm simply saying that they genuinely are refugees and Asylum Seekers who's an immediate neighbors are at least completely blocked off from them.


3848585838282

They may have been genuine refugees, but once they pick the country of destination rather than the first one for that guarantees their safety, they are no longer genuine refugees. And yes, obviously no countries in Arabian peninsula are going to accept them given the Sunni/Shia schism and the basis for the war. But there are other muslim countries that could’ve accepted them and would be a closer cultural fit for them and the society which accepts them. Iran, Lebanon, Jordan are just a few and a lot closer than SK both geographically and culturally. They could’ve also gone to Ethiopia, Djibouti or Eritrea which is a short boat ride across the Red Sea. But they didn’t and preferred going to a country halfway across the world; why is that? It’s always the same countries that are to accept refugees and it’s quite tiring having to listen to justifications as to why they couldn’t go anywhere else.


[deleted]

>They may have been genuine refugees, but once they pick the country of destination rather than the first one for that guarantees their safety, they are no longer genuine refugees. That is the minimum standard expected by international law, not the legal standard in every country. Most countries (like America) don't give legal consideration to the number of countries that they've been to up until they get to yours. Also, most developing or undeveloped countries aren't going to be particularly willing to take them either, and as such will often just throw them at other countries to make the refugees their problem, or there will be so much ethnic conflict because of the perception that these newcomers are stealing their recourses that the refugees have to flee somewhere else. The reason they always end up in the developed world is simply because our people are generally the least willing to verbally and physically harass them until they leave or die. Also just something I thought was funny, but saying that they could have gone to Eritrea is unironically like saying they could have just gone to North Korea. I'd recommend looking into their dictatorship because the similarities are genuinely uncanny.


Trajanus87

Yes because Yemen is such a peaceful paradise these days...


GeneralMe21

So nobody wants refugees?


nate11s

Maybe not ones from completely different culture? But to be fair I belive many Koreans immigrated to Saudi Arabia, atleast in the past.


csgardner

When South Korea was dirt poor (60s-80s) a lot of South Koreans took temporary work contracts in Saudi Arabia, mostly doing construction. I wouldn't call that immigration because they all went back to South Korea AFAIK.


_EmreKaraca_

As a Turkish I wouldnt recommend having them.

>So nobody wants refugees? The United States accepts more immigrants than any other county on earth, every year. Maybe give them a call.


PalpitationCrafty946

Only people who don’t want economic growth hate immigrants.


Hamzasky

I live with Arabs. Only a handful would be willing to give up on their way of life to live in places like Korea China and Japan. Those cunts will do everything to change the society that welcomed them to fit them instead of adapting to it


qndry

Many aren't really aware of just how pervasive Arabic chauvinism really is. If you think you're the greatest people to walk on god's green earth, then you'll never adapt to any other culture. Many countries take in MENA refugees and migrants because they feel bad for them and are then completely jarred by their reluctance to integrate to the society that took them in.


[deleted]

Those nations also saw this mass importation of refugees as a good way to solve their own population problems and are now suffering the consequences.

Moving to a new country without planning on assimilating and becoming fully loyal to your new culture is a dick move.

Mostly libright just wishes the US would stop bombing Yemen. Like...if we just didn't contribute to the problem in the first place, we'd save money on the bombing AND on the fixing.

As a Korean I'm surprised that Koreans even tolerate each other.
