Uroerk and Bai Luoste border.
1 p.m.
A large group of refugees fleeing conscription gathered south of the border.
On closer inspection, there were probably over a hundred people, mostly men aged 20-40, with a few women among them, some cradling infants, others leading toddlers by the hand.
These refugees maintained a safe distance of 120 meters from the Bai Luoste border, as the opposing border guards and army were poised and ready.
No one wanted to accept the refugees.
Even those Western nations that advocated for humanitarianism merely encouraged others to take them in.
A large influx of jobless, able-bodied men into a country meant the government had to spend taxpayers' money to accommodate them, and moreover, they were very likely to show no gratitude but to be picky and choosy.
Over time, some of the men would turn into rapists, thieves, and robbers, while some of the women would become sex workers.
