Cuba stresses millions of people were displaced due to US wars
This system sells welfare while plundering the world's resources, the head of Cuban diplomacy said.
The report from Brown University states that due to those wars, at least 37 million people were displaced, but considered it a conservative figure.
The total displaced by wars could be closer to 48-59 million, the Rhode Island-based school said.
This figure is higher than any other conflict displacement since start of 20th century, except for World War II, from 1939 to 1945.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, then-US President George W. Bush launched what he called a global war on terror.
As part of that crusade, he attacked Afghanistan and Iraq, the latter for allegedly possessing chemical weapons that were never found.
Top countries with more refugees include Afghanistan (5.3 million refugees), Iraq (9.2 million), Pakistan (3.7 million), Yemen (4.4 million), Somalia (4.2 million), Libya (1.2 million) and Syria (7.1 million).
