Angelina Jolie Pens Powerful Essay About Her Experience With Syrian Refugees
continues to use her star power to try and speak out for those whose voices are not heard.
Jolie, a longtime special envoy for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees , has in recent years traveled many times to visited Syrian refugees, including survivors of ISIS attacks.
"At the time, I hoped that stories like his might force the world's rich and mighty countries to intervene to stop the violence," she continued."But now, nearly a decade later, it strikes me as a metaphor for the Syrian conflict itself: the shattered innocence of a generation of children; the irreversible damage inflicted upon a secular, multiethnic society; and the years of pleas for help that have gone unanswered.
"We're watching the brutal endgame of the war in Syria as if it has little to do with us. But it does," she wrote."We should be using our diplomatic power to insist on a cease-fire and a negotiated peace based on at least some measure of political participation, accountability and the conditions for the safe return of refugees."
