Europe, that started values such as Democracy and Solidarity, proves being unable to apply them practically. The continent can do and offer, much more than what has been done until today. The Greek Forum of Refugees receives every day messages from European citizens that would like to offer help.

The protest, which began in mid-September, had already been going on for a week. Responding to a call on Facebook via the Crossing No More community, thousands of Syrians, Iraqis and Palestinians had made the almost 250-kilometer trip from Istanbul to Edirne. Some traveled from refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon when they heard of the campaign. The key demand was for the gateway to Europe to open so they wouldn't have to turn to the smugglers in Izmir and Bodrum and take their chances with the “boats of death.” read more

"This is where we group asylum seekers with near-zero chances of success” says an offical in a new type of camp in Germany that only hosts people with little chance of asylum. Even as Germany is assembling an efficient infrastructure to welcome hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing conflict, it has begun installing an equally efficient system for sending home people who have come from poor but "safe" countries to seek jobs read more
