> SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Egypt’s leader on Tuesday
criticized Europe’s handling of the migration crisis and its
refusal to receive refugees arriving at its borders, saying his
own country has taken in millions of people who left their home
countries.
>
> President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said Egypt hosts at least 6
million people who fled conflict and poverty at home. He said
his government, unlike some other countries, doesn’t hold
migrants in refugee camps but allows them to live freely in the
community.
>
> For years, people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East
have made dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean and Aegean
seas, seeking safety and a better life in Western Europe.
>
> But after the arrival of more than a million people in 2015,
European Union nations put up concrete and razor-wire walls,
installed drone surveillance and cut deals with Turkey and Libya
to keep migrants away.
>
> “I’m talking about huge numbers, not about five or ten
thousand, (that) our friends in Europe refuse to receive,”
el-Sissi said.
>
> He said his government provides education, health care and
other services to all migrants and refugees despite his
country’s limited resources and economic strains.
>
> “We made what we have available (for them) without making a
fuss,” he said.

Thank you for demonstrating how easy it would be for all EU
countries (which are considerably wealthier than Egypt) to do
the same if they wanted to. But now that we have established
beyond any doubt that the problem is not that they can't but
that they won't, the important question is: how do we make them?
(Answer: it requires WMDs.)
--- Quote ---
> Egypt has for decades been a refuge for sub-Saharan African
migrants trying to escape war or poverty. For some, Egypt is a
destination and a haven, the closest and easiest country for
them to enter. For others, it is a point of transit before
attempting the dangerous Mediterranean crossing to Europe.
> ...
> With restrictions and tight security on Europe’s Mediterranean
borders, a new route to the European Union has emerged through
the forests and swamps of Eastern Europe.
>
> In recent months, people from Iraq, Syria and elsewhere have
flown to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on tourist visas and
then traveled by car — many apparently aided by smugglers — to
the border.
>
> The three EU countries that border Belarus — Poland, Lithuania
and Latvia — accuse Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of
acting to destabilize their societies.
>
> Poland has denied entry to thousands of migrants and refused
to let them apply for asylum, violating international human
rights conventions. The country has been criticized by human
rights groups at home and abroad.

And this is where the WMDs should be dropped first.

At last someone points out the obvious:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/gov-abbott-border-crackdown-operation-222354259.html
--- Quote ---
> Gov. Greg Abbott’s border enforcement effort violates the U.S.
Constitution, a Travis County state district judge on Thursday
ruled, threatening Operation Lone Star's future and opening the
gates to a flood of court challenges.
>
> Travis County state District Judge Jan Soifer's ruling came in
a legal challenge to the detention of a man from Ecuador who is
seeking asylum. His lawyers say he is among thousands of
migrants arrested as part of Abbott’s effort to combat illegal
border crossings.
>
> Soifer's ruling "sets a clear pathway for everybody arrested
under Operation Lone Star to challenge their arrests," said
Kristin Etter, a special project director at Texas RioGrande
Legal Aid, which represents about 800 defendants arrested as
part of the operation. Etter also testified during the hearing.
--- End Quote ---
Seeking asylum is legal, period. Just because rightist media
keeps calling asylum-seekers "illegals" over and over again
doesn't make it true, any more than Trump saying he won the 2020
election over and over again makes it true. Both are Big Lies.

Algeria learns the correct response to deportations:
HTML https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/01/22/claim-algeria-no-longer-accepting-forcibly-deported-migrants-from-france/
--- Quote ---
> French media have claimed that an internal email from the
French Interior Ministry has revealed that Algeria is no longer
accepting any forced deportation of its nationals from France.
>
> The alleged confidential internal Interior Ministry email,
dating from the 6th of December of last year, states that
Algerian authorities now outright refuse to accept any Algerian
nationals who have been deported from France against their own
will.
> ...
> “Algiers has instructed its consular network in France to no
longer ensure any consular hearing and not to grant any issue of
laissez-passer,” the letter states. The Laissez-passer is
temporary passport granted to allow travel in lieu of a
passport.
>
> According to French media, the Algerian government has also
moved to automatically cancel any airline tickets booked by the
French Interior Ministry, which now has a policy that all
returns must be both voluntary and deportees must purchase their
own airline tickets in order to avoid Algieria blocking their
return.
--- End Quote ---
Deportees should of course refuse to purchase such airline
tickets. There is no such thing as a "voluntary deportation".
All deportation is initiated violence.

Hey, on another note rightists are also arriving at the
conclusion that cereals belong to the True Left, which
ultimately means the True Left is responsible for creating the
foundations of civilization during the Neolithic Revolution, and
that rightists do NOT have what it takes to run a functional
society!

I just love their cast of characters, in particular this merry

There's just something about them that puts a huge grin on my
face whenever I see them. After the revolution, we'll dress them
in Hitler Youth-style clothes (though I like their current
outfit as well) and have them promote vegan "Smacks"!

people.

The Children in order to help Syrian refugees. The appeals were
very successful, estimated to have raised £150,000 for the
charity.
