Quote from: Patrick Kingsley
New EU draft whatever on migration sounds like another unworkable fudge http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/14/refugee-crisis-eu-governments-set-to-back-new-internment-camps

1) What incentive is there for Italy/Greece to set up bigger camps if rest of EU won't agree to share even a token bit of the "burden"?

2) How could EU "quickly" process all these refugees when they are already unable to "quickly" process a smaller number now?

3) How can you "quickly" deport someone who has the right to an appeal?

4) "Failed asylum seekers who are expected to try to move to another EU country from Gre/Ita can be interned." Er, so all 100k-odd? Really?

5) 'ministers “committed” to sharing the 160k, but made no mention of system being obligatory.' So it's not going to happen...

6) "in med-term, EU should aim at building refugee camps outside Europe." What, those camps that have contained the crisis so well so far?

Clueless. Border control isn't rescue RT @ekathimerini #Tsipras says patrols w Frontex help can be increased in Aegean

@tsipras_eu btw, the Frontex mandate is border control, not search & rescue.

Of course refugees don't trust European countries to put them in camps. It's only us Europeans that have forgotten our history.

You want Greece to do more about immigration? Tough luck, we can't afford it and we don't really wanna become Europe's prison warden.

That's the line you'll hear from most these days, even policy-making circles. Only some in new democracy are up for it.

After my initial "What the fuck" reaction I am wondering if some parents may do this deliberately to try and ensure their children are safe in Europe. I imagine a number of refuges are that desperate.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

Hungary chose the wrong side of history, and humanity. If you want to help, rest of Europe, don't let Greece, Macedonia and Serbia go it alone.

Do whatever it takes to make safe routes for refugees possible, and to spread the hosting and sharing. This is the test of a generation.

And to be fair, you can and do. People all across Europe powered an astonishing solidarity drive for refugees all summer long.

Quote
Croatia’s prime minister, Zoran Milanović, criticised Hungary’s decision to seal its border with Serbia and promised that Croatia would not do the same. “We are ready to accept and direct those people,” he said, adding that migrants and asylum seekers “will be able to pass through Croatia and we are working intensively to enable that”.

On an EU border not Tahrir Square. Feels all too familiar. Teargas rocks helicopters

Syrians, Iraqis, Afghanis, Pakistanis all protesting together. Some more experienced in protest

Quote from: https://mobile.twitter.com/asteris
Treat people like dirt and they'll revolt, Hungary. Didn't you watch the news on 2011?

Syrians & Afghans often reported as not getting along on the trail. Heavy handed Hungarian policing apparently united them in revolt.

Firing tear gas now. Lots of women and children got hit near the gate.

Washing the tear gas off with coke, tried and true (but a little shocking at the doorstep to Europe).

The Serbian police here seem frankly appalled at what Hungarian border guards are doing. (That's who they say it is.)

Serbian police are being kind but honestly if it wasn't for local, Czech, and German volunteers this would be a humanitarian disaster.
