Default Twilight 2013 coming true again

Also in March, France begins to crackdown on refugees
pouring in from the east, enacting strict border controls and
turning away thousands of refugees. Within a week Germany
Italy and Austria follow suit, however France retains the media
spotlight being the first and loudest. The situation quickly
deteriorates in many cities. Eventually “concerned citizen”
groups mobilize against ethnic neighborhoods under the banner
of weeding out refugees. Rumors circulate about the French
conducting “secret” midnight deportations with people simply
disappearing.


From Twilight 2013




And from the papers...

Three makeshift migrant camps were evacuated and *destroyed by French riot police in Calais yesterday.

About 200 officers surrounded and then cleared the camps housing migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia after a deadline to leave expired.

The governor of the Pas-de-Calais region, Denis Robin, cited insanitary conditions in the camps and a scabies outbreak which he said was beginning to spread into the town of Calais as a reason for the move.

Many migrants left the camps in advance of the operation, with some seen leaving hurriedly carrying blankets.

Migrants’ representatives were said to be in talks as to whether they would accept an offer from the authorities of being rehoused elsewhere in exchange of a promise not to be arrested.

They were being offered the chance to shower, receive medical attention and have a change of clothes, shoes and bedding.

Very few migrants so far have reportedly accepted this offer, while more than 200 are said to have moved into a food distribution centre. They are thought to be reluctant to take alternative accommodation outside Calais as they hope to get into Britain.

Dozens of migrants and activists gathered near one camp, some angrily trying to prevent police from evacuating it. There were no reports of arrests. Police officers checked in tents and under tarpaulins for migrants before sealing off the camps.

Calais is a magnet for migrants from war zones and poor countries who are trying to reach Britain. The three camps evacuated yesterday housed up to 500 people, according to local estimates.
