Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Many headed toward Lebanon, Greece and Turkey seeking refuge. By 2011 these nations put in place border controls as each one was beginning to feel overburdened by the undocumented immigrants arriving at their doorsteps. At this point in time millions of Syrians have left Syria to find a safer place to call home. About half of those Syrians are children.
At nearly the same time in Asia, the people of Burma (Myanmar) who had been living with religious persecution and violence under military rule since the 1960's had reached the end of their rope and began what would be a succession of protests against the brutal treatment they endured under the military government. These protests would continue throughout the decades and reach a new pinnacle in the summer of 2007 which lead many to seek refuge in Thailand. At present the people of Burma are still suffering all manner of human rights abuses and their exodus continues to take place.
