According to court documents in the case of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission v. A Chicago Convention Center, LLC, Anshoo Sethi, and Intercontinental Regional Center Trust of Chicago, LLC, (Civil Action No. 13-cv-982), Judge St. Eve, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, ordered the return of more than $147 million in escrowed funds for 'an investment scheme defrauding foreign investors.'  At that time 297 foreign investors had contributed to the project as part of the EB-5 pilot program, which gives foreign investors a path to residency in return for financing job-creating domestic projects with half-million dollars or more. 

Court records indicate that USREDA's swift action in assembling and financing a renowned team of legal experts, along with many concerned consultants and agents in China, gave many investors immediate representation and a strong voice for priority in Federal Court. It often takes several years for courts to return seized funds because of the many complicated and divergent motivations of the investors, plaintiffs and defendants. However, the Federal Court and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") were sympathetic toward the investors' plight in this case, and their prompt action reinforced the U.S. regulatory and legal system as unmatched in honoring the rights and liberties of the individual. As a result of this court order, many people around the world remain confident and hopeful as they dream about a better life for themselves and their families. A number of these families received their reimbursements already last week according to the USREDA spokesperson.

USREDA President and CEO Mr. Joseph Walsh couldn't be happier about the ruling: "We feel that it is the best possible outcome, as the people were protected," Walsh said. "It's good for the investors because they have received their money back quickly, and therefore retain the opportunity to pursue U.S. residence through the EB-5 program; it's good for China and other countries worldwide because they see how the 'Rule of Law' is upheld here in the U.S. Courts; and it's good for the United States because jobs and economic growth are being created here as a result."

United States Regional Economic Development Authority, LLC ("USREDA") is one of the largest and most respected processors of investment-based immigration (EB-5). By connecting investors with emerging organizations in key growth sectors such as innovation, real estate, tourism, and university and governmental infrastructure, USREDA is building wealth without borders for its clients.

Many residents fled to the surrounding forests after attacks began on April 28, while others sought refuge at a local hospital, only to be forced out by armed men. Houses have been burned and looted, and 11 of MSF's Congolese staff members are missing.

"Civilians are routinely exposed to this violence—this is the eighth time Pinga has changed hands since 2012," said Jan Peter Stellema, MSF's operations manager in Goma. "A number of patients had to be transferred for emergency surgery to Goma, among them a 70-year-old woman shot in the arm."

While over the past year MSF has been running a large clinic in Pinga and supporting the town hospital and other clinics in the area, frequent violence has made it extremely challenging for MSF to negotiate access with multiple armed actors. Health centers have been looted and medical equipment destroyed.

"Providing health care is proving a challenge when medical facilities are not respected, staff are missing, people have fled the area and those who remain fear being subjected to harsh treatment, illegal taxation, forced recruitment or worse," Stellema said.

Despite challenging conditions, MSF continues to provide high quality medical care in four reference hospitals, 12 health centers and four health posts in North Kivu province, and four reference hospitals, 19 health centers and five health posts in South Kivu. MSF also operates several cholera treatment centers, weekly mobile clinics, and emergency response activities.

The Barbara Chester Award is given as a tribute to honor the life and work of the late Dr. Barbara Chester, a pioneering clinician who directed the first treatment program for torture survivors in the United States. Later she treated indigenous refugees from Central and South America, as well as survivors from more than 50 countries. In particular, her work stressed the role of culture in determining both how an individual experienced the trauma of torture as well as the best approach for recovery.

'Hopi philosophy holds that the wellbeing of individuals, the local community, and the world as a whole is served by integrating all aspects of life into balance with ourselves, the environment and our spiritual beliefs,' states Phillip Tuwaletstiwa, a Member of The Hopi Foundation.  'We are pleased to award Naasson Munyandamutsa the Barbara Chester Award. His work exemplifies the Hopi philosophy of healing.'

The world risks failing the people of Syria as the scale of suffering increases and the humanitarian fall-out from the crisis worsens by the day, warned aid agency Oxfam today.

With nearly 7 million people in need of humanitarian help inside Syria, the organization is calling on the UN Security Council to help improve humanitarian access by using its influence to urge the Syrian Government and opposition groups to help ensure aid reaches those most in need. This could mean allowing aid to cross lines of control and cross-border from neighboring countries, such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Oxfam GB's chief executive, Mark Goldring, who is currently visiting Oxfam's work with refugees on the Syria/Jordan border, said: 'The world risks failing the people of Syria at a time when they most need our help. Responding to this crisis is now our number one priority.

'We hear each day that the situation in Syria is desperate for so many but providing an appropriate humanitarian response is extremely difficult – and deeply frustrating. Restrictions on access mean far too many vulnerable people are not getting the help they have a right to.'
Concern about water and sanitation

The organization is using its decades of humanitarian experience in some of the most difficult environments in the world to develop its emergency response to the crisis unfolding in Syria. Concern is growing about the impact of the two-year conflict on water and sanitation facilities, in particular, because of the knock-on effect on people's health and risk of disease.

In addition, the aid agency is calling for the needs of the 1.3 million Syrian refugees now living in neighboring countries to be fully-met.

In a new briefing paper released today, called 'Overtaken By Need', Oxfam says that three months after $1.5 billion was pledged for the UN's six-month appeal, just over half of the money has been received, much of it from Gulf countries. Refugee numbers have doubled in the first three months of the year and Oxfam warns that similar or even higher levels of funding will be required for the response in the future as the humanitarian catastrophe worsens.

Funds are particularly short for some organizations – including Oxfam – working with Syrian refugees in neighboring countries.

'The aid effort on the borders has been slow to get off the ground and now needs to be scaled up significantly. A massive increase in humanitarian assistance is required but we fear that instead of being stepped up, the reverse is more likely to happen and aid levels could soon decline,' added Goldring.
Host countries are feeling the strain

In Jordan's Za'atari refugee camp increased numbers of arrivals mean facilities are stretched to the limit. Oxfam has installed toilets, showers and laundry areas to help 20,610 people in part of the camp but the organization hopes to do more.

There are concerns that failure to respond fully to the humanitarian emergency could have serious consequences on stability across the wider region. Countries that have generously provided help for Syrian refugees, such as Jordan and Lebanon, are already feeling the economic and social strains of hosting such large numbers and need much greater international assistance, the aid agency said.

Lebanon, for example, has received numbers of refugees equivalent in proportion to its population to 50 million Syrians arriving in the EU or 30 million in the US. There have already been riots over poor living conditions and shortages of aid given in refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey. In Jordan, Oxfam is looking at how best to help the vulnerable refugees living outside the camp and in host communities over the next few months.

'When refugees arrive in Jordan and Lebanon they are traumatized and fearful for the future. As the needs of Syrians and refugees increase, so must the response', said Goldring.

'The future will be very bleak for people affected by this crisis unless they get more support.'
