The author argues that the global movement of refugees and asylum seekers from places such as Libya and Yemen will not end in 2016 unless the world's political leaders adopt strategies for fixing fragile states, and it mentions the international human rights and the financial impacts that refugees are having in places such as Europe and Great Britain. The World Bank and humanitarian aid are examined, along with the World Humanitarian Summit in May 2016 and global poverty reduction efforts.
