  Forced to flee

Were the pakistanis forced to flee, or chose to do so ?

Other definitions range from :

  a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

  A refugee, conventionally speaking, is a person who has lost the protection of his or her country of origin and who cannot or is unwilling to return there due to well-founded fear of persecution.

I'm not following your point, or are you 'just asking questions'?

Pakistan is certainly a place some people would want to flee from, Malala Yousafzai being the most obvious example of the terrors that have happened there.

You simply cannot equate an attempted murder of an activist to full blown war or natural disasters. Do you remember Anders Breivik ? Can you claim that Swedish people moving abroad are refugees ?

Huh. I just noticed this reply. Very odd. I certainly wouldn't equate Brevik with the Taliban. I've no idea what your point is.
