Article by Robert Muggah: Venezuelan refugees inflame Brazil’s already simmering migrant crisis
Our Phil Lind Initiative 2018 Visiting Fellow, Robert Muggah, has written this article titled “Venezuelan refugees inflame Brazil’s already simmering migrant crisis” for The Conversation Canada.
Though refugee and migration crises have dominated headlines in recent years, most news stories exclude Brazil. That’s because of the world’s roughly 62.5 million forced migrants, according to the United Nations – just a small proportion are thought to be in Brazil. New research suggests this omission needs correcting.
