The book continues the RIPAR series by focusing on the MENA region, which has not yet been dealt with. Because of the numerous wars and conflicts in this area, further volumes are planned. This volume is about refugees and their diverse needs for reconciliation with themselves and others. In particular, feelings of sadness and guilt for leaving home and parts of the family behind, bad experiences on the run, conflicts with other refugees and with local people, the loss of a large part of what gave meaning and meaning to life, and the difficulties of a Returning to a changed country, a home that may no longer feel like home, are the individual facets of this need for reconciliation. Activities of the UN, international refugee organizations, government agencies, municipalities, NGOs, religious and humanitarian organizations are presented in this book. Numerous researchers from the countries of the MENA region will have their say. They describe not only successful activities, but also difficulties for numerous societies in the MENA region in maintaining the originally hospitable attitude towards the refugees. Similar to Germany, descending curves of the acceptance of refugees can also be drawn for countries such as Jordan, Turkey or Lebanon. However, the book also shows how great a task these countries have to cope with due to the influx of refugees and what efforts have been made. In addition to authors from Morocco, Libya, Egypt, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, the volume also contains texts from German, Greek, Italian and American perspectives. The book shows a region ravaged by wars and conflicts, but it also shows initiatives and approaches towards reconciliation.
