Syrian Kurds migrate due to unemployment
Syrian Kurds experience difficulties in Kurdish areas of Syria due to worsening security situation, political divisions, unemployment. This increases smuggling and migration which results to the emptying for the Kurdish region. Moreover, the prices are increasing of goods and there is a lack of job opportunities in iraqi Kurdistan. According to Welati, the closure of the border crossing between Rojava-KRG resulted in an increase of smuggling and extortionists that exploit Syrian Kurds that want to cross the border for more than 300 dollars. – Posted by Wladimir van Wilgenburg
