Three Billion Euro later and Migrant arrivals in Europe by sea still average over 1,700 per day


Three Billion Euro later and Migrant arrivals in Europe by sea still average over 1,700 per day.(IOM).

The period also saw the year’s first fatalities in the Mediterranean between Libya and Italy, a route that took the lives of almost 3,000 migrants and refugees in 2015.

Total fatalities recorded for migrants and refugees in the region were 59 through the year’s first two weeks, not including at least 11 people killed in two bus crashes in Turkey last week. Authorities believe the victims were customers of smugglers supervising their journey to launching points on Turkey’s coast.

At this rate it would mean 620,000 new asylum seekers in 2016, but the rate will probably increase once Spring and Summer comes.

And then there's the so far unknown number of Agreed upon by the EU leadership and Turkey?
Hmmm........Another One million total for sure.

'Sign of the Times?' - 'Mein Kampf' sells out in Germany on first release day .


'Sign of the Times?' - 'Mein Kampf' sells out in Germany on first release day. (JPost).

Demand for a new edition of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” has far exceeded supply on its first day of release.

Publishers of the 2,000-page annotated edition of the Nazi leader’s book said at a press conference Friday, the day of the book’s release, that they have received orders for four times as many books as they had printed, Reuters reported.

The Munich Institute for Contemporary History has said it published the new edition to preempt uncritical and unannotated versions, and that it hopes the new edition will help destroy the book’s cult status. “Mein Kampf” can also be easily found on the Internet.

“Mein Kampf” sold 12 million copies in Germany before the end of World War II, according to Reuters. Hmmm......I wonder how many downloads it had recently? Read the full story here.

Video - Refugee crisis leads to Far right on the rise in Germany and the EU.



More then a month ago i was warning for this would happen in Europe, it's already happening.

The Netherlands.

The Hague (AFP) - New tensions flared in the Netherlands Sunday over the sensitive issue of taking in migrants, only hours after Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte sharply condemned a "cowardly" attack on a refugee shelter.

Police were forced to intervene in the central city of Utrecht on Sunday when hundreds joined a rally organised by the far-right German PEGIDA movement, short for "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident".

A poll published Sunday in the De Telegraaf newspaper showed that the Freedom Party (PVV) of firebrand far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders appears to be shooting up the polls amid the refugee crisis.

His party won 15 seats in the last elections in 2012. But according to the daily De Telegraaf, if elections were held today his party could snatch as many as 35 seats in the 150-seat lower house.

Belgium - Massive Brawl and Damage in refugee center. Ten wounded, Four arrests.


Massive Brawl and Damage in refugee center. Ten wounded, Four arrests. Source: (Theredaction.BE) [GoogleTranslated].

Belgium - In the refugee shelter of Florennes , in the province of Namur, last night broke out a massive brawl. The fight was between two rival groups of fifty Iraqi and Afghan asylum seekers. Eventually the federal police had to intervene. Ten people have been put under administrative arrest and the damage to the center is considerable.

The problems began Wednesday night around 22:30. Thirty police officers came to the center and were able to calm the situation, but two hours later, tempers flared again high. Everything was beaten with baseball bats and windows, tables and doors had to believe it. It is then that the police asked for help from the federal police.

The brawl resulted in ten wounded. Three were taken by ambulance to the hospital, the others with a taxi. Four persons were arrested what will happen to the rest remains to be seen.

Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken (N-VA) went yesterday evening with the director general of Fedasil, the governor and the mayor on the spot. "It is intolerable to me that what happened here yesterday," he responds to VRT news. "We are particularly welcoming, but there are really limits. This we can not tolerate, this is way out of line."

"The incidents are included in the asylum applications (of such persons, ed.). When it comes to effective convictions, it may be that their asylum application is therefore denied", emphasizes Francken. "The people in the field do much to avoid this up. It is unfortunate that it happens anyway."

Overcrowding as a cause?

According Fedasil is the cause of the brawl to the overcrowding of the shelters. "We do not yet know all the details, but our centers are overstaffed, also in Florennes," said Mieke Candaele Fedasil. "Our experience shows often it does lead to tensions between residents, especially when higher concentrations of certain nationalities are present."

Fights Break Out in German Refugee Camps as Violence Spreads.



Fights Break Out in German Refugee Camps as Violence Spreads. (SP).

Amid the deepening European migrant and refugee crisis, violence across Germany is spreading as frustrations reach boiling point in already overcrowded asylum centers.

There has been a series of violent battles in Calden Airport near the city of Kassel, which houses around 1,500 refugees, involving as many as 350 Albanians and Pakistanis, after a series of brawls left around 60 injured.

Violence among migrants and refugees has been reported in Dresden and Leipzig, as well as other centers including Ellwangen in Baden-Württemberg, Suhl in Thuringia, Bramsche in Lower Saxony, Trier in Rhineland-Palatinate and Heidenau in Saxony.

Police in North Rhine-Westphalia have been called to nearly 1,000 incidents in August alone, prompting Rainer Wendt, the head of DPolG, Germany's second-largest police union, to say officers are "facing the greatest challenge in post war history."

Many are now calling on migrants and refugees to be separated according to their religion, with interior minister Thomas de Maizière calling the behavior "unacceptable".

In the state of Thuringia, there has been a spate of arson attacks on hostels housing refugees. An accommodations center in the Gotha district was set on fire as was a gym that was due to take in refugees. Other fires have been reported in other states, including Eichsfeld in Lower Saxony, and Xanten in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The unrest continues as the latest opinion poll for public broadcaster ARD shows 51 percent of people saying they were "afraid" because of the influx of refugees, compared with 38 percent three weeks ago. Hmmm.....If today at the EU meeting the decision is taken to send 400,000 refugess back,  this will be just the beginning of much bigger riots. Read the full story here.
