For its part, Jordan noted that more than 22,000 people have entered Syria through its territory, 3,100 of whom were registered refugees. Tweet URL

UNHCR teams noticed a shift in demographics of returnees from Jordan this week, with more women and children returning rather than men travelling alone.

“When interviewed, some families reported that the head of household would stay in Jordan for several more months in order to earn money that will support the family’s re-integration inside Syria before joining them,” the agency said.

Western intervention and hegemony is what roots a lot of the problems. Not all, mind you, but the middle east in particular has a long history of being fucked with.

Never mind that any country that tries to make life better for its population by taking ownership over its own economy is promptly "corrected" by the United States.

You can't really pick and choose what intervention means or narrow it to direct intervention in the grand scheme of things.
