Inhabitants of the countries involved

Pros

– inhabitants understand the refugees’ problems and reasons why they had to flee

–> sympathize with them

– background of war, starvation, unemployment and bad living conditions

– want them to be safe

– angriness because of the stagnation concerning the refugees situation

 

Cons

– have to think of their own problems

– want the government to stop the refugee stream or to do something for the inhabitants (e.g. money in case of pecuniary injury)

– many inhabitants just want to be in denial because of the feeling of helplessness

– many do not want to have the “problem”  in their area ( for example the inhabitants of islands are afraid of the dead bodies washed ashore)
