Well done on such a great article.

A most interesting article. It shows a major change in the status of a refugee. I reside in America and if one is to win in a high conflict custody one has to be very affluent in order to succeed.
Often people will seek asylum in America for valid reasons like traditional ‘circumscion’ on women, or being involved in tribal civil war and their pleas often fall on deaf ears and they are deported.
Congratulations on a well written and comprehensive article.
