QuoteTrail of misery: Following child refugees through the streets of Paris

Much of the attention given to France's refugee crisis has focused on coastal camps. But The Independent found conditions were just as bad, and prospects just as bleak, for children fleeing persecution and abuse in the capital

Child refugees in Paris live in conditions "as bad as the Jungle", one teenage veteran of the Calais camp tells The Independent. But rather than being concentrated in one squalid location, frequent police raids mean hundreds of children are spread throughout a web of ramshackle camps, dangerous squats and unsanitary hostels in the French capital.

They are less visible, more isolated and at the mercy of a bureaucracy that offers little or no protection as it demands often-impossible proof of age. The Independent followed their route through the boulevards of the City of Light.

The bulldozing of the Jungle is not the only factor driving children to Paris. A canary-yellow processing centre, known locally as "the Bubble", hosts a rolling total of around 400 adult asylum-seekers in a sparse industrial area north of the city centre. According to Marion le Bloa, a front-line volunteer with aid organisation Utopia56, "when the Bubble was created, the number of unaccompanied minors went crazy – it doubled".

QuoteCharities Accused of Luring Migrants Back to Calais

Migrants are returning to the northern French town of Calais just months after its infamous camp was demolished and thousands of residents moved elsewhere.

The new arrivals are being encouraged to come by charities offering them food and sleeping bags, causing consternation among the town's residents, the Daily Mail reports.

Hundreds of people are now sleeping rough in the countryside around the town, hoping to travel across the English Channel to the UK, with more arriving each week.

The paper quotes one of the migrants, 18-year-old Eritrean Gaitom Hatas, as saying they could not stay there if it were not for the charities.

"We came from Libya on a boat to Italy in February, then got a bus via Paris to Calais. Every day and night we try to get to England," he said. "I have relatives in Liverpool and they expect I will arrive there soon."

"We couldn't stay here without help," Gaitom added. "The police try to throw us out, so we hide most of the time. We use text messages to arrange a time and place to meet the charity people for our food."

Christine Salome, head of the L'Auberge des Migrants charity, said: "I think numbers in Calais have now reached 400 but more arrive all the time.

"Many are sleeping rough not far from the former Jungle. We give out a lot of sleeping bags. We take their used ones back after two or three nights because they are so damp and dirty. We wash them and hand them fresh ones."

The claims come just days after the nearby Grande-Synthe migrant camp was burned to the ground in a turf war between people smuggling gangs. Around 600 of the camp's residents are still missing, with many in Calais fearing they will join those gathered in the Calais area.

The massive former camp at the northern French town housed several thousand residents when it was dismantled late last year.

QuoteWith "Jungle" dismantled, migrants in Calais face police violence - report

Refugees and migrants sleeping rough in the French port of Calais, some of them unaccompanied children, have been teargassed, beaten and abused by police since the "Jungle" camp was dismantled last year, a report published on Monday found.

Beatings with batons and attacks with stun-guns left young migrants with knee injuries, dislocated shoulders and eye injuries, a survey of more than 200 migrants conducted earlier this month by the Refugee Rights Data Project (RRDP) showed.

"Hundreds of children remain in the area - many alone, scared and facing life-threatening dangers on a daily basis," Marta Welander, director of RRDP, said in a statement.

Local authorities in Calais could not be reached for comment. The local authority in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region told the Independent newspaper the allegations of police brutality were "unfounded".

Over a third of migrants interviewed had family in Britain and many may be eligible for resettlement in the country, RRDP said.

European Union rules say Britain must take in unaccompanied children who have family ties in the country under so-called Dublin rules.

Under the so-called Dubs amendment passed by parliament last year, Britain agreed to accept vulnerable refugee children who arrived in the European Union before March 20, 2016.

But in February, the government announced plans to drop the scheme it said encouraged human trafficking.

Over half those surveyed in Calais also experienced physical or verbal abuse by local residents.


"They always shout racist abuse while they drive past," a 21-year-old man from Eritrea was quoted as saying in the report.

"(One) time they threw rubbish on my face which is really horrible and left me wondering if I am in Europe or somewhere else," he said.

France moved more than 6,000 migrants, many fleeing poverty and war in the Middle East and Africa, from the site of a makeshift camp in Calais last October to reception centres around the country to calm growing local anger.

But hundreds, especially unaccompanied children, have gravitated back to the northern port, hoping to cross the short stretch of sea to Britain by leaping onto trucks and trains, or even walking through the tunnel under the Channel.

Most migrants interviewed hoped to cross to Britain because of family ties, or a perception that they would have a better chance of receiving asylum.

Earlier this month, a fire destroyed most of a migrant camp near the northern French town of Dunkirk after fighting between rival groups injured five people, with charities concerned this would leave the 1,700 residents without adequate shelter.

QuoteMacron Threatens to Set Calais Migrants Loose on Britain

Marine Le Pen's globalist rival in the French presidential elections, Emmanuel Macron, has promised to rip up border controls in France, potentially opening Britain up to a new wave of illegal migration.

The establishment favourite in the French presidential race asserted that the Le Touquet treaty, under which Britain operates border controls in the migrant hotspot Calais, should be "back on the table".

In an interview with TF1, the former Rothschild banker said the deal "must be renegotiated, especially the parts that deal with the fate of isolated child migrants.

"There is no easy solution to the migrant crisis. If there was one, it would have been found."

Downing Street is likely to be concerned by the statement, as Macron had previously sworn to keep the migration agreement in place just two months ago, in talks with Prime Minister Theresa May.

He said: 'If there was a simple answer [to Calais' migrant crisis], it would have been found. I want to put the Touquet treaty back on the table and to renegotiate the agreement."

A Downing Street spokesman said: 'We have always been very clear that protecting and enhancing the shared border between the UK and France at Calais is in both the UK and France's best interests.

A Conservative spokesman said: "This just shows that we need the strong and stable leadership of Theresa May, and why voters need to give her the best possible hand to negotiate in Europe.

"We have always been very clear that protecting and enhancing the shared border between the UK and France at Calais is in both the UK and France's best interests. By contrast Jeremy Corbyn is not strong enough to keep our borders secure."

French sociologist and writer Mathieu Bock-Côté has warned that Macron embodies "all that France wants to extricate itself from".

"Excessive globalism and cultural leftism are in contradiction with the aspirations that seem to come from the depths of the country," he wrote in Le Figaro.

The frontrunner in the election, Macron has previously declared that Europe has "entered a world of great migrations" inescapable for the continent, and which will only accelerate.

QuoteIranian Migrants Pulled from Sinking Boat in English Channel

French maritime authorities have rescued six Iranian migrants whose fishing boat was sinking in the English Channel as they sought to reach Britain.

The overnight rescue effort took more than two hours because extremely thick fog complicated efforts to find the boat, the CROSS maritime authority said in a statement Tuesday.

It said the migrants were found not far from the Calais coast, suffering from mild hypothermia, and handed over to border police.

Migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa continue to converge on Calais in hopes of sneaking across to Britain, despite the closure of a vast migrant camp there last year.

The maritime authority warned that clandestine travel by boat is "extremely risky and dangerous" because of strong currents, cold water, fog and heavy traffic.
Meille on kerrottu, ettei kukaan lähtisi kotimaastaan hengenvaaralliselle matkalle, ellei olisi ihan pakko. Matkalle lähtö kertoo epätoivosta ja siitä, ettei muuta mahdollisuutta ole. Tässä jutussa mainittu tapaus osaltaan osoittaa sen, että vaaran uhmaaminen ei ole todiste oikein mistään. Ranskassa ei ole sotaa, ei vainoa. Jotkut ottavat suuria riskejä vain saavuttaakseen itsemääritellyn tavoitteensa.

QuoteBritain pays £1million a week on Calais crisis

BRITISH taxpayers are forking out a million pounds a week to tackle the migrant crisis in Calais, the Daily Express can reveal.

Our investigation exposes how trying to stop refugees sneaking in to the country from northern France has become a "shocking" drain on the public purse.

Since 2010, £315.9million has been spent dealing with the threat of illegal immigration on Britain's doorstep, Home Office figures show.

The sum, revealed for the first time today, equals about £150,000 a day – averaging £52.5million a year over the past six years.

Critics last night questioned why the UK is effectively paying the French authorities to solve a problem created by the EU's border-free Schengen Area.

Charlie Elphicke, the Tory parliamentary candidate for Dover, said: "These shocking figures are a result of the EU's failure to deal with the migrant crisis and the toxic legacy of Labour's open-door immigration policy.

"For years under Labour almost anyone was allowed to wander into Britain. It's no wonder so many vulnerable people were drawn to the Calais migrant magnet.

"After we have spent so much already tackling the Calais chaos, we must invest more in our own borders."

Figures show at the height of the chaos in 2015-16 Britain stumped up £111.7million to secure the border from those trying to cross the Channel illegally, up from £48.8million in 2014-15.

Since 2010 the total amount spent could have funded more than 13,500 new nurses.

Ukip home affairs spokeswoman Jane Collins said: "The crisis in Calais needs to be dealt with, but why is the UK having to fork out for what is actually a problem caused by the EU's open-door policy to anyone saying they are from Syria and other country's foolishness in signing up to the Schengen open border area?"

The figures obtained using Freedom of Information laws only came to light after this newspaper demanded to know the cost of Britain's commitment in northern France.

Our request was submitted in September and should have been answered within 20 working days but it took the Home Office seven months to respond.

The outlay includes building a 13ft wall lining the approach to Calais' besieged ferry terminal, bolstering security at controls, and "wider activity" involving the National Crime Agency to deter illegal migration in the region.

Separate data shows that 24,800 people were seized attempting to enter the UK illegally in the first six months of last year.

In 2015 the figure was 84,008, a rate of one every six minutes. Independent MEP Steven Woolfe said: "These figures show the true scale of our subsidy to France for their failure to control their borders.

"In 2015, when I visited the newly opened Calais Jungle camp with the Daily Express, we could see the scale of the growing crisis.

"I warned that costs of dealing with the problem would be massive and the UK would pay. We now see that is true."

Despite the recent demolition of the camp, migrants and people smugglers are returning to northern France in large numbers. Almost 20,000 migrants made it to mainland Europe by sea in the first two months of the year, with numbers set to rise as weather in the Mediterranean improves.

Richard Burnett, chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, said: "Despite Calais seeing UK taxpayers invest £316million in border security the EU are still not managing the issue.

"The situation may be bad now but relocating the border back to the UK will simply provide an open door. The cost to our economy would be extortionate."


The Home Office said: "We have a strong track record of joint work with the French government."

IF you only listened to Government headlines, you would think the UK taxpayer had paid a few million to help with the migrant crisis in Calais – a fence and a bit of parking to help British hauliers.

But as we now know, we have been forking out almost £150,000 a day. Between 2014-15 and 2015-16, the figure has risen from £48.8million to £111.7million.

The rise of more than double fits exactly with the disastrous decision by Brussels and Angela Merkel to allow anyone – economic migrant, refugee or even terrorist – to enter the EU by paying people-trafficking gangs.

Islamic State even admitted it would exploit the laxness of the EU's borders, to "flood" the Continent with its jihadi killers.


And we know IS thugs have travelled across internal EU borders and to training camps in terrorist hotspots.

And what about the people who organise these border crossings on overcrowded, unseaworthy boats? Who are they?

It is most likely they are criminal gangs – possibly with links to terrorist groups themselves – who have discovered that trafficking people is far more lucrative than smuggling drugs.

The figures revealed today by the Daily Express show the huge leap in costs since 2015 which coincides with Brussels taking control of the immigration and asylum policy for the bloc... and what a disaster it has been.

Just think of all the ways that money could be used in Britain, from GP appointments to improvements in schools, or shrinking the huge annual overspend which costs us billions each year to finance and will be a burden on our children and grandchildren.

At the same time as we have spent this money we have cut the budget for the Border Agency and the prison budget where we have a severe problem with radicalisation.

I want to know who thought that was a good use of our taxes.

French authorities are working to clear out a refugee camp in northeast Paris, the police said on Tuesday, with local media reports estimating that the site housed around a thousand mostly African and Afghan migrants.

Some 350 members of the police force were taking part in the operation at the Porte de La Chapelle area, police said.

A similar operation took place in November, when thousands of migrants were cleared out from a squalid camp in the capital, which had doubled in size after the closure of the so-called "Jungle" refugee camp in Calais, northern France.

QuoteParis's Largest Migrant Camp Cleared Out by Police

1,600 migrants in the largest makeshift migrant camp in Paris near the Porte de la Chapelle metro station have been evacuated by police concerned about the health and safety risks of the camp.

The Porte de la Chapelle migrant camp used to be the largest in Paris, but after Tuesday morning the camp no longer exists. Police arrived at the camp at 5:30 am and began the process of relocating some 1,600 migrants, the vast majority of whom were men, away from the area, L'Express reports.

According to police, there were 1,609 people, of which 75 were considered "vulnerable" including underage migrants and women, who were relocated to official accommodation facilities. The camp was mostly populated by men from Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Sudan.

Many of the migrants had come to Paris after the destruction of the Grande-Synthe camp near Dunkirk in Northern France last month. The camp was engulfed in flames after a conflict between groups of migrants affecting close to half of the camp.

In a statement, local police said the illegal settlements posed "significant risks to the safety and health of their occupants as well as residents".

Aside from the health hazards in the squalid camp, many authorities worried about rivalries between the different nationalities of migrants that led to a particularly violent incident last month.

Last week, Breitbart London travelled to the camp to talk to migrants who had come to Europe. One migrant said that he blamed Europe for "ruining" his country and almost all agreed that European governments owed them access to welfare and housing.

According to one of the residents at the camp, originally from Sudan, the most violent people at the camp were the Eritrean men.

Around 350 police officers took part in the evacuation operation, codenamed "shelter". Minister of Housing Emmanuelle Cosse said: "We wanted to speed up the process because these were quite large camps that were becoming extremely dangerous around Porte de le Chapelle."

"With the elections, we did not have the police forces available and we had to wait until we had enough officers," she added.

The evacuation is not the first time residents of the camp have been moved. In March, when the camp had around only 200 people, police moved them into accommodation centres. The former camp around the Stalingrad metro station had an even larger population last November with estimates that there were over 4,000 migrants living there.

The closure of the Porte de le Chapelle camp may only be temporary as many of the migrants interviewed by Breitbart London claimed to have only been in Paris a matter of weeks or months, previously coming across the Mediterranean from Libya.

QuoteParisian Women Face Constant Harassment By Migrants

Women in the east Paris district of Chapelle-Pajol are claiming that they cannot leave their homes without being subjected to verbal abuse from migrants in the area.

Over the past year or so the district has become a no-go area for women as migrants and drug dealers have flooded the area. Dozens of these groups of young men crowd the streets, harassing women who walk by wearing what they consider to be immodest clothing Le Parisien reports.

The situation for women has gotten so bad in the area that many women are effectively banned from cafes and bars. 50-year-old Natalie, who has been a resident of the area for 30 years said, "these are insults, incessant reflections. The atmosphere is agonising, to the point of having to modify our itinerary, our clothes. Some even gave up going out."

An 80-year-old female resident is said to have totally stopped leaving her apartment after being sexually assaulted as she was returning home one day.

Aurélie, 38, who has lived in the area for 15 years said that the cafe below her apartment has turned into an exclusively male establishment. "I have to listen to a lot of remarks when I pass in front, especially since they drink a lot," she said.


"A few days ago, the simply standing by my window triggered a flood of insults and I had to lock myself in my apartment. I used to walk down the Boulevard de la Chapelle from Stalingrad [metro station], even late at night ... It's unthinkable today," she added.

The Stalingrad metro was the former location of a large makeshift migrant camp in Paris which was cleared and relocated to Porte de la Chapelle. Earlier this month Breitbart London visited the camp and talked to the migrants there. All blamed Europe for their situation and demanded handouts from the French government.

Another woman said she would not allow her 12-year-old daughter to walk the streets of the area alone anymore. She said that after getting off at the Chapelle metro station she ended up in the middle of a brawl of migrants who pulled knives out and threatened her with them. "I thought my last hour had arrived," she said.

Due to mass migration, the situation in various parts of Paris has rapidly deteriorated over the last few years. Various suburbs of Paris, such as Seine-Saint-Denis, have become breeding grounds for radical Islam according to France's top expert on the subject, Gilles Kepel.

The women of Chapelle-Pajol have said they will organise a walk around the area with female city officials in order to bring attention to the problem and perhaps find a solution.

So far newly elected French president Emmanuel Macron has not addressed the issue of safety in the French capital, using his first weeks as president to court the approval of German Chancellor Angela Merkel instead.

QuoteBritish truckers have called for increased protection in Calais following the first serious attacks by migrants since the demolition of the 'Jungle' refugee camp.
It is just over six months since the vast shantytown was torn to the ground, and some 8,000 UK-bound asylum seekers dispersed across France.
Officially, they are all now banned from the Calais area, but a series of 'extremely violent' incidents on Sunday shows they are slowly returning.

'They set up roadblocks using dustbins, and then tried to stop lorries heading for England so they could get aboard,' said a local police source.
'Two windscreens were smashed, while another lorry had its tyres punctured. One driver was taken to hospital with face injuries.'
In turn, Pauline Bastidon, of the Freight Transport Association, said: 'There is a need for urgent action by the French government to ensure that the area is policed adequately, and to protect drivers transporting goods, so that trade can continue to flow freely between France and the UK.'

A spokesman for the Pas de Calais prefecture confirmed that it was the 'first time' that migrants had set up improvised barriers in the middle of the road since the Jungle was razed in October.
He said a Czech lorry driver had been treated for nose injuries, and he was released from hospital on Monday.
The prefecture estimates that some 300 migrants are now in the Calais area, while local aid groups put the figure at being closer to 600.
It is feared that many more will now start to arrive as the warm summer weather starts.

As humans, one of our most fundamental rights is to have a voice, and to decide how and when to use it.

But for those who lived in the Calais 'Jungle' camp, theirs were lost in the frenzied reporting as the 'refugee crisis' swelled, individuals reduced in the face of thousands-strong numbers.


But a small group of refugees have taken back control of their own stories, with the empowering step of putting their lives to paper.

Twenty-two individuals from Syria, Iraq, Eritrea and many more countries shared their experiences with the University of East London, and the result is Voices from the 'Jungle', an eye-opening anthology featuring prose, poems, drawings and photography.

"All of them in their own way were really moving," said Dr Aura Lounasmaa, one of two academics leading the project.

"There was this community in the Jungle. We saw fights, people who didn't get along, when you have got 10,000 people living right next to each other that's going to happen, but a lot of people talked about the friendship and community and kind of a new family that was born, which then was lost after the camp was dismantled."

The book was an unintended follow-on from the university's Life Stories course, designed by Prof Corinne Squire, which saw academics and students visit the Jungle across the year 2015/16 to offer sessions encompassing academic reading skills, writing, photography and more.

Thirty-seven people took the course, designed to be educational rather than therapeutic, but as they shared their own tales, emotions were mixed.

Mani, from Iran, enjoyed reminiscing about happier times, said Dr Lounasmaa, but in the same sense as being in a room crowded with people, and then suddenly being alone in the dark, he felt the pain of separation.

"It's hard," said the academic, "You have to look at something that's beautiful, and not know whether you will experience anything like that again."

She added: "So many of the people we met had university degrees, or had started them, and had great aspirations for education, but their degrees are not recognised by most countries.

"Not only have you changed your country, left your family, now you have arrived to a complete culture shock and shift in social class."

There was "a lot of anger" around journalists turning up and taking pictures, some even hiding devices under their clothes, while a not insignificant number among the general public have aired xenophobic views about refugees and migrants in recent times.

"I can't really figure out what's going on, there's been so much writing and speaking from different factions, and for the public to try and get the facts it's just impossible," said the academic. "Obviously there are also people who are malicious, and there's no justification for that.

"Two of the guys wrote about leaving home, they are from Pakistan, and some people would say, why run from Pakistan? It's a safe country, they should be sent back.

"But they may have been forced to join an 'organisation', their families were saying, we don't think you should join the Taliban, we all think you should leave. They said, 'We could have stayed, but we didn't want to kill anyone'."

UEL is celebrating 20 years of its refugee studies postgraduate course, and won a diversity prize at March's Guardian University Awards.

A 10-week course for refugees and asylum seekers is in the pipeline, as is an advanced 10-month programme which will be a stepping stone to a Bachelor's degree.

Of the 22 authors – whose ages range between 20 and 50-odd – the majority are in France, with some taking a foundation course at Université Lille 3, which will bring their French up to the required level for further study.

"These are their stories, and our response [to hatred] is to do more of saying here is the book, please read that. The authors now have the confidence to speak for themselves, and hope somebody might listen too."

Rasistit ne jaksaa jankata, että tuleva väkivallan kesä huolestuttaa Calaisissa. Vasta 700 aivan yksin tullutta pyörii 30 mailin säteellä. Mellakkapoliiseille luvataan käyttöön kaikki käytettävissä olevat keinot. Mitä ne sitten lie?
QuoteThe spike in violence has prompted calls for the deployment of soldiers to protect those who have to reach the port.

Road Haulage Association chief executive Richard Burnett said: "Since the summer of 2015 international hauliers have suffered attacks and intimidation from migrants whose sole aim is to reach the UK by whatever means possible.

"As we enter a third summer the situation, despite the dismantling of the Jungle, is once again deteriorating rapidly. The determination of the migrants is putting lives and livelihoods at risk and the cost to UK-bound hauliers is immense.

"Their safety cannot be put in jeopardy as a result of increasing mayhem."

M Bertrand, president of the Hauts-de-France region which covers Calais, said he was promised riot police had "all the means in their possession" to expel migrants.

Yet the growing number arriving in the area shows the authorities were helpless to stem the tide. His letter to M Philippe, appointed earlier this month by new president Emmanuel Macron, is a sign of growing tension as the summer season approaches.

There are now thought to be at least 700 migrants living in several small, unofficial camps within a 30 mile radius of the port town, with more arriving daily.

QuoteUK-bound migrants have set fire to an improvised barricade in the middle of a busy motorway near Calais for the first time since the destruction of the so-called 'Jungle' camp six months ago.
The migrants tried to use the obstruction on the A16 at Marck to force lorries heading to England to stop so they could climb aboard.
Would-be stowaways regularly used the burning barricades before the 'Jungle' camp was razed last October, and up to 8,000 people were relocated to other parts of France.

'The latest barricade went up at around 3.30 am on Thursday,' said a spokesman for the prefecture that covers Calais.
'Piles of wood, including tree branches, were placed on the road, and then attempts were made to light them all.
'There was no disruption to traffic on this occasion, and the police managed to clear the obstruction quickly, but the return of these methods is certainly worrying.'

QuoteWhen migrants photograph their own journeys in Europe

Amy Lineham gave 15 men living in a Paris migrant camp disposable cameras, what was captured shows the humanity of the people behind the label.

Police don't respect to the asylum seekers! Guys asylum seekers not animals, asylum seekers are people!' reads a postcard, written by one of the men who took part in Amy Lineham's latest photo project, Disposable Perspectives.

Looking to challenge the mainstream portrayal of the migrant crisis and put some authorship back into the hands of asylum seekers, Amy gave disposable cameras to 15 men living in the Porte de la Chapelle camp, Paris. Out of the 15 cameras given, only 8 were returned after the five-day deadline – with quite a few of them being lost due to police violence.

Unfortunately, as will be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention, this isn't surprising. As well having to deal with the unstable life they experience in the camps, aggression against the people who come to Europe in search of a safer life is rife, be it from the police, some less than welcoming locals, or the demonisation, especially of young men, perpetuated by right-wing press.

Instead of building a narrative around sadness and fear though, the photographs taken by these men and developed by Amy tell a different story, a human one with highs, lows and plenty of friendship.

"I met the guys because I was co-managing clothing distribution at the camp, so was always on the desk talking to people. I gave out the cameras right at the end of my time volunteering so I knew some of them quite well," Amy explains via email.

"Others were new to the camp – I put a sign on the front of the distribution desk in English, Arabic, Farsi and Pashto, inviting people to ask about the project so a few joined that way. People were generally really excited and eager to take part, though we did have some rejections – one person said he would love to join but was worried about legalities over taking photos of strangers."

Amy remembers how this bloke explained he'd  just arrived in France and was nervous of doing anything to draw attention to himself, "that really highlighted to me how precarious day-to-day life for these people can be."

Keeping the photographers anonymity for their own safety, Amy hopes the Disposable Perspectives exhibition, which features the images captured on the eight cameras, and postcards written by the participants, will dispel some of the myths about the migrant experience.

"I don't feel it's my place to speak on the experience of immigrants," says Amy, "but what I wish people thought about was how each person under that banner is an individual living a 24/7 life in the same way as we all do. They have thoughts, feelings, interests, hobbies just like anyone else and their humanity should be recognised as equal."

Melkein sama juttu kuin Daily Mailin vastaava, mutta tähän on saatu mukaan aivan yksintulleiden omia matkakokemuksia afrikka-eurooppa kiertueelta, joka kulkenut Libyasta Italian ja Saksan kautta Ranskaan. Hyvin ne rajat vuotaa.
Somalian Abdu Aziz, jota voidaan jo tituleerata Calais-veteraaniksi, ei ollut onnistunut vakuuttamaan Ranskan viranomaisia, että olisi alaikäinen, joka tarvitsee suojelua briteissä ja palasi siksi Calaisiin. Azizin kohtalontoveri Belete Eritreasta aikoo kanaalin yli keinolla millä hyvänsä. Hänen mukaansa mahdollisuuksia on ainoastaan briteissä.
QuoteSomalian teenager Abdu Aziz made his way back to Calais after he was evicted from the Jungle last October.

He was transferred to a reception centre 330 miles away in Rennes, but has returned after failing to persuade authorities he was a vulnerable minor who should be taken to the UK.

Like many in Calais, he initially arrived in Europe on a boat crossing the Mediterranean from Libya. From Italy he made it to Germany where he caught a train to Strasbourg and then to northern France.

He said: "I was not successful so I've come back to reach the UK. I want to get to Wembley in London because my family are there. I am back and I will keep trying."

In nearby woods Eritrean migrant Christian Belete said: "It doesn't matter how we get there – car, truck, we try. We want to go to Britain because opportunity is there."

BBC on kirjoittanut jutun The National Front ex-jäsenen rakastumisesta Calaisin viidakossa aikaansa viettäneeseen matuun, joka suuntasi matkansa Englantiin. Klassikon makua.

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-40132396 (5.6.2017)

QuoteThe National Front member who fell in love with Calais Jungle migrant

Béatrice Huret stood on a beach on the northern French coast before dawn, watching as her lover headed off across the English Channel in a rickety boat. Would she ever see him again? Had she been taken for a ride, used by a man she met just a few weeks earlier to help him fulfil his dream of a new life in England? Would he drown on the way?

As the boat disappeared over the dark horizon, Béatrice returned to her car, her head full of hope but also full of doubt.

The 45-year-old had just a couple years previously been a card-carrying member of the far-right National Front (FN), and she was the widow of a policeman who she says was racist.

Now here she was helping her migrant lover, Mokhtar, whom she had met in the so-called Jungle migrant camp in Calais, to sneak into Britain.
She recounts the story of how her life changed the day she offered a lift to a teenage migrant in a new book titled Calais Mon Amour.
Béatrice says that before his death from cancer in 2010 her husband had been one of the huge number of police officers deployed in Calais to keep migrants from breaking into the Channel Tunnel terminal or the ferry port, in their bid to get to the UK.

As a policeman he was not legally allowed to join a political party, so he got his wife to sign up instead to Marine Le Pen's FN, which paid her to distribute pamphlets.

She says that, unlike her husband, she was not really racist. But she admits she was worried about "all these foreigners, who seemed so different, and who were getting into France".

Béatrice lived with her teenage son and her mother about 20km (12 miles) from the Jungle, but she had never seen the giant shantytown built of tents and shacks on waste ground on the outskirts of Calais.

On her way home from work one very cold day in 2015, she took pity on a Sudanese boy and agreed to drop him off at the camp, which at its peak last year was home to 10,000 people, most of whom had fled war or poverty in Africa, the Middle East, or Afghanistan.

Then, for the first time, she saw for herself what conditions there were like.

"I felt as though I was in a war zone, it was like a war camp, a refugee camp, and something went 'click' and I said to myself that I just had to help," she says.

Suddenly migrants were no longer just a word, no longer an abstraction.

Béatrice, who works at a centre where young people are trained to become carers, started to bring food and clothing to people in the Jungle, roping in friends and family members to help. Slowly she got to know the camp and its people, ranging "from shepherds to lawyers to surgeons".
Then, in February last year, she laid eyes on Mokhtar, a 34-year-old former teacher who had had to flee his native Iran, where he faced persecution, and was ostracised by his own family for having converted to Christianity.

She met him just at the moment when photos of him, and of several of his compatriots, were being published in newspapers around the world, because they had sewed their lips together in protest at the appalling living conditions in the Jungle.

"I sat down and then he came over and very gently he asked me if I would like a cup of tea, and then he went and made me tea, and it was a bit of a shock. It was love at first sight," she says.

"It was just his look, it was so soft. There they were with their lips sewn up and they ask me, do I want some tea?"

But communication was an obstacle, as Mokhtar spoke no French and she, unlike him, had little English. Their solution was to use Google Translate.
A romance blossomed and Béatrice offered to put up Mokhtar and some of his friends in her house, ignoring advice from her friends that she was making a big mistake.

She was under no illusions about her new lover's goal. Mokhtar had already tried to get to England by hiding in the back of lorries and now he was about to try a change of tack. He and two friends gave Béatrice about 1,000 euros (£980; $1,130) and got her to buy a small boat for them.


On 11 June last year, Béatrice towed it to a beach near Dunkirk, and the trio of migrants, none of whom had been in charge of a boat before, set off at about 04:00 on a perilous journey across the world's busiest shipping channel.

"We dressed them up so they would look like men out on a fishing trip, with fishing rods," she says with a smile.

That was the moment when the whole thing might have ended, when Béatrice hoped for the best but worried that she might have been had, and worried that Mokhtar and his friends might even drown.

That very nearly came to pass, when the boat started taking water around 06:30, as it approached the English coast.

It was terrifying, but with hindsight there was something comic about it.

"The youngest was vomiting from fear, the toughest one was smoking cigarettes and saying 'Well, if you have to die, you have to die, that's life,' and there was Mokhtar scooping out the water and phoning the emergency services at the same time," she says.

The British coastguard sent out a helicopter which eventually spotted them and sent a boat out to the rescue.

The three migrants were later questioned by immigration officers, and after a couple of days Mokhtar was sent to an asylum centre from where he could finally contact his beloved, who had been waiting anxiously on the other side of the Channel.

"He gave his address in Wakefield. I went to see him the next weekend," Béatrice says.

And ever since then she has taken a ferry every second week and driven up to see her lover, who is now in a refugee hostel in Sheffield and who has successfully applied for asylum in the UK. They keep in touch via webcam nearly every night.

So what of the future? The couple have no plans, Béatrice says, noting that "it hurts when you make plans that don't work out".

"If our relationship ends, then so be it [but] I owe Mokhtar a beautiful love story, the most beautiful one of my life."

The story for her does not end on a purely happy note. Last August she was arrested and charged with people smuggling. She laughs when she speaks of the charge, as for her the idea that she was in it for the money is nothing short of ridiculous.

She was taken into custody at the same police station where her late husband used to work. Released on bail, she was placed under judicial supervision, and has to report to police once a week, as she waits for her trial to begin later this month.

If found guilty, she could in theory be sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 750,000 euros, though in her case the penalty would probably be less severe.

Béatrice has also been put on the government watchlist of people who are deemed a potential threat to the security of the state. Most people on this list are radical Islamists. This too makes her laugh.


Was it all worth it?

"Yes," she replied without hesitation. "I did it for him. You do anything for love."

The Guardian on julkaissut dokumentin mega-hyysäristä: The Valley of Rebels

https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2017/apr/28/the-valley-rebels-the-french-farmer-helping-refugees-cross-europe-video (5.6.2017)

QuoteCédric Herrou is a farmer who supports and houses African refugees in the alpine village of Breil-Sur-Roya in southern France. Some regard him as a heroic good samaritan, but others – including the French border police and state prosecutor – denounce him as the leader of a band of smugglers, bringing migrants from Italy into France while flouting official border controls. As Cedric moves from one prosecution to another, why do he and his fellow activists feel compelled to defy the authorities?

Herrou's olive farm lies in a picturesque valley on France's Italian border near a popular route for refugees trying to slip past border controls. Since the French government tightened security along the coastal route into France, refugees began climbing up the valley seeking a new route in, appearing suddenly on the sides of roads or in local villages. Since then, Cédric's farm has become home to an unofficial camp for an ever-changing set of young refugees and who climb up the valley where he lives.

Cedric and the other activists are defiant. They say they are upholding French and international law, whereas the authorities are violating it, especially where it concerns child refugees.

Yet with multiple prosecutions coming Cédric's way, and the political atmosphere in France veering towards the extreme right, is Cedric fighting a losing battle? The activities of Cédric and the other residents of the valley offer a microcosm of the conflicted relationship of French citizens with the influx of refugees into France and Europe.

QuoteThe Calais 'Jungle' is gone, but France's migrant crisis is far from over

(...)

The end of the camp was not the end of the migrant crisis in France, and hundreds more have continued to trickle into this working-class city on the shores of northern France, which remains the closest point in continental Europe to Britain. If no longer in the headlines, the problem is no less urgent, aid workers say, insisting that conditions for newcomers have never been worse.

(...)

In France, despite the victory of the centrist, pro-migrant Emmanuel Macron over the fiercely anti-immigrant Marine Le Pen last month, little has happened to suggest any immediate change in policy toward migrants seeking either temporary residence or asylum.

"The duty of Europe is to offer asylum to those who are persecuted and ask for its protection," Macron's campaign platform read. "In this context, France must take its fair share in the reception of refugees. It must issue permits to all those whom it deems entitled to asylum in its territory."

But last week, Gérard Collomb, Macron's interior minister, authorized the transfer of three extra police squadrons to the Calais region. In an interview with the Le Parisien newspaper, Collomb said that the transfer would amount to roughly 150 additional officers and gendarmes.

"Our priority," Collomb said, "is that Calais and Dunkirk do not remain places of fixation and that 'Jungles' do not reconstitute."

In Britain, where Prime Minister Theresa May narrowly survived her own snap election recently, Brexit will still mean Brexit, and strict immigration regulations for migrants and refugees are unlikely to be reconsidered anytime soon.

(...)

In the fall, leading up to the Jungle's demolition, the U.K. government pledged to take in a host of unaccompanied minors. Already nominally committed to the Dublin III agreement, a European Union regulation allowing the resettlement of refugee children in member states where they have family, the government vowed to do more.

Last year, the British Parliament approved an amendment to an immigration bill that also permitted the resettlement of unaccompanied minors with no family in Britain. Sponsored by Alf Dubs, a member of the House of Lords, the "Dubs amendment" harked back to one of the proudest moments in modern British history, when the United Kingdom — in convoys known as "Kindertransports" — sheltered Jewish children from Nazi persecution in central Europe in the late 1930s.

Dubs, now 84, was one of those children.

In the months since, however, the United Kingdom has reneged on its commitment, largely because the final text of the new amendment mandated no specific number of unaccompanied minors to admit, Dubs said in an interview.

"Unfortunately, we weren't able to tack a number on it, so the government could go back on the amendment," he said. "We simply said they had to do it, never thinking they would cut it short like that."

Calais is a historic stronghold of the National Front, the far-right, anti-immigrant and populist party that lost the French presidential election but is vying to represent the area in France's upcoming legislative elections. Le Pen, who lost the Elysée Palace to Macron last month, is ultimately running for a seat in Parliament here. She has a decent chance of winning, as she carried the area in both rounds of the presidential election.

In recent years — mostly thanks to the Jungle — Calais and its environs have developed a particular reputation for a certain xenophobia, with migrants frequently complaining of vigilante reprisals from ordinary citizens. Recently immortalized in the pages of "The End of Eddy," the best-selling novel of the 24-year-old Édouard Louis, much of northeastern France is a predominantly white and working-class terrain, as resentful of change as it is of the Parisian elite.

In the season of France's upcoming legislative elections, appealing to this demographic appears to be a motivation for Macron's cabinet.

"I had the opportunity to speak with local elected officials," Collomb told Le Parisien. "I heard their concerns, and I want to tell the people of all these territories that they are not forgotten."

QuoteShe may once have voted for France's anti-immigrant National Front, but now she faces possible jail time for helping the Iranian refugee she fell in love with.

Beatrice Huret insists she has no regrets and believes she has done nothing wrong.

On June 27 however, she goes on trial for offering aid to a foreigner and in theory at least, faces a jail term of up to 10 years.

It has been a long journey for someone who used to leaflet for the National Front, the far-right party that campaigns on a fiercely anti-immigrant platform.

Huret, a dark-haired woman of 44, lives in the Calais area of northern France, where in recent years thousands of migrants have gathered awaiting their chance to cross the Channel to England -- legally or illegally.

For 20 years she was married to a police officer, a member of the border police and a National Front sympathiser like her.

"I lived a basic life and I voted FN (National Front), like my husband, without really thinking twice about it," she said.

She worked nights as a carer at a retirement home, tended to the house and raised their child during the day. When her husband died of cancer she continued as best she could, moving into the field of adult education.

QuotePolice reinforcements including at least 150 riot control officers have been drafted into Calais as UK-bound migrants set up burning roadblocks to stop lorries.
They use the motorway obstructions to get lorries heading to England to stop, so they can climb aboard and hide until reaching their destination.
The tactics have been used at least three times in as many weeks, with images shot in the early hours of June 9 showing rubble and branches piled up on the A16 in Calais.
A Polish HGV driver who regularly travels between his home country and Britain posted a video of the incident online, and it shows gangs of mainly young men running along the busy road brandishing weapons and trying to climb into lorries.
