the nobel peace center is currently showing an exhibit called transit, a photo display of refugees in different countries. the most interesting facts presented in the exhibit were the numbers of refugees in various countries (in 2010):
- Refugees from Columbia: 454 088
- Refugees in Columbia from other countries: 300
- Refugees from Afghanistan: 2 917 535
- Refugees in Afghanistan from other countries: 49
- Refugees from Syria: 23 484
- Refugees in Syria from other countries: 1 529 655
- Refugees from Bangladesh 12 258
- Refugees in Bangladesh from other countries: 228 586
- Refugees from Yemen: 2 554
- Refugees in Yemen from other countries: 172 220
- Refugees from Norway: 10
- Refugees in Norway from other countries: 54 465
Gotta wonder who the refugees from Norway are–and who would flee to Afghanistan…
