Ukraine Refugees

 There are stories all over the media about refugees from Ukraine fleeing westwards.

Most of those stories are positive with Europeans from every country offering them respite and care.

Well done those people.

What is notable is the refugees are almost completely women and children.

Men of fighting age have recently been forbidden to leave the country but even before that prohibition it was mainly women and children leaving, the men wanting to stay and fight.

How different is that compared with the refugees in recent years from northern Africa, which had a very large percentage of young men among them?
