Here we go again.
This conflict is ongoing. Police and migrants have been clashing in the Calais “Jungle” for some time; police have suffered beatings and serious injuries.
Little is known about these illegals. What is known is that jihadists have for quite some time infiltrated the refugee streams. As far back as 2015, not long after the camp was established, French police were searching there for a “refugee” who was plotting jihad terror attacks .
In another case, an Iraqi “refugee” in the Calais “Jungle” was taken down in a dramatic arrest; he was an Islamic State executioner.
In January 2019, France built a “Trump-style” wall to keep illegal Muslim migrants from breaking into Britain from Calais. Who knows what happened to that wall, given the recent mass entry of migrants into Britain via the English Channel, and the dismantling of the “Jungle.”
France and other EU globalist countries — despite jihadist threats, violent crime and upsets to rule of law — still cling to their open-door policies.
“French Police Dismantle Calais ‘Jungle’ Camp Housing 700 Migrants,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, September 29, 2020:
A migrant camp in Calais, France in which 700 to 800 migrants were squatting was dismantled by French police on Tuesday, in what is being characterized as the largest operation since the destruction of the notorious Calais “Jungle” in 2016.
The French port city still acts as a magnet for migrants from the Middle East and Africa who hope to illegally cross the English Channel and reach the United Kingdom where — despite travelling from a safe first world country in France — they are often afforded the ability to claim asylum status.
While the migrants wait for people smuggling gangs to provide them passage across the Channel — in vessels ranging from surfboards and kayaks to ‘gold package’ rubber dinghies — migrants often establish makeshift camps in French cities such as Calais.
The police raid on the latest encampment saw over 200 people removed in the first two hours of the operation, 21 of whom where arrested.
Louis Le Franc, the top official for the northern Pas-de-Calais department, told Agence France-Presse that the government wants to “avoid a concentration and a new gathering point in Calais”.
Le Franc said that the operation was the biggest of its kind since the dismantling of the infamous Calais “Jungle” camp, which saw the removal of some 9,000 migrants between 2015 and 2016.
“In my view, this is above all an operation to give people a safe haven. The migrants are living in this forested area in extremely difficult conditions,” Le Franc said, adding: “It was important to get the migrants out before… the winter period.”
The migrants that were cleared on Tuesday were reportedly overwhelmingly male and hailing from countries such as Somalia, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, and Eritrea.
Of the approximately 700 migrants who were removed on Tuesday, 150 will be brought to a migrant reception centre, 150 brought to other departments in Northern France, and the additional 500 will be spread throughout the other regions of France.
The French government claim that there are currently 1,000 migrants living in the Calais area, however, local migrant support groups suggest that the number is probably closer to 1,500.
