More than in recent times human migration is at the forefront of the news with wars in Syria, continuing strife in Afghanistan, the recent migrant crisis in Europe, and northern and sub-saharan Africa on the move.

I hope this Power BI article inspires thought and reflection about the world we live in and the kind of world we would like to live in.
I wanted build a the story that flows rather like news article rather than just another report.

I opted for simplicity rather than too many distracting visuals to convey meaning rather than simply numbers.
