Maybe they could take some of the refugees from Syria (just the ones that are causing mayhem) and house them there.

The refugees from Syria come in Europe cause of the bad activities of the Occident politicians. If they didn't support Bacha Al Assad, if they didn't give/sell weapons in this country (cause the ISIS take them in part), I think that the situation could be better for the Syrian.

It looks like a ghost town or some post-apocalyptic scene. All the huge investments and efforts were made for this?
