A whole host of challenges, and destabilizing ones at that. But the refugee issue is beyond the pale. Countries like Jordan expect Iraqi refugees to pay for their stay as visitors who have the luxury of choosing where to live and not as refugees who have fled the ever-raging violence in their own country. Rape and sexual violence in war-zone affected Iraq and even beyond are dispicablly underreported in the name of preserving the tribe's honor.
