Marie was feeding
her twin daughters when the raid began. It was a little after 8PM on a
Thursday, and she heard a loud commotion outside her apartment in the suburbs
of Paris. The order came minutes later: "Police! Open your door!"
Paris (AFP) - European nations have adopted a raft of
restrictive measures since the beginning of the year as they seek to stem an
influx of asylum seekers: While Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden, did so
in a bid to better control the influx of migrants, France also reestablished
checks in reaction to the terrorist threat after last November's multiple
attacks.
Nariman Reinke is a 36-year-old daughter of Moroccan
immigrants. She is German, she is Muslim, and she is a soldier in the
Bundeswehr, or the German army. And now she's become a public figure, taking a stand against
what she perceives to be the rather toxic conversation of the moment. That's been fueled by widespread fears over the arrival in
Germany of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and other migrants during
the past year. Migrants and men of Arab and North African descent were
implicated in a grim spate of attacks and incidents of sexual harassment in the
city of Cologne on New Year's Eve. The backlash in Germany and elsewhere in Europe
was pronounced.
Stockholm (AFP) - Sweden said it expects to expel up to
80,000 migrants whose asylum requests will likely be rejected, as another 24
people including children drowned off Greece Thursday in the latest tragedy in
the Mediterranean. |

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark's parliament passed measures
on Tuesday aimed at deterring refugees from seeking asylum, including
confiscating valuables to pay for their stay, despite protests from
international human rights organizations.
A trickle of Syrian refugees have decided their best bet is
a risky crossing to the West at the hands of smugglers
Tanzania’s new President Magufuli has been given a comic
Twitter hashtag, #WhatWould MagufuliDo?, after introducing radical government
cutbacks just days into the job. He even banned government Christmas cards to
cut back on costs.
As it dawns on Germans that they've been had in more ways
than one, local governments within the Federal Republic are gradually beginning
to come to their senses. Although the evil that Angela Merkel has done will
live on long after she is gone, the only way that Germany can hope to preserve
its culture, language and traditions in the face of an alien demographic tidal
wave is to crack down now. A first step:
Budapest (AFP) - Hundreds of people rallied in Budapest on
Sunday against government plans to bring in anti-terror measures including
restrictions on the Internet and curfews. "The plan would put an end to democracy once and for
all," protest organiser Lajos Bokros told the crowd in front of the
Hungarian parliament, estimated by an AFP reporter at around 800 strong.
The story of the Ogoni is not new. A well known and
established case of state repression against civil rights. A rather pathetic
story of a people repressed by their own government, dehumanized by those who
should protect them, a repression backed by the unethical global giant - The
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, an affiliate of Shell
International. As lethal and ruthless as the Ogoni repression has been, the
good news is that the people have resolved to sustain it for the good of all.
It is a resolve to live and not give up to the desires of the Nigerian
oppressors who seek to kill and cover up their evil against the Ogoni.
