Poor guys. I wonder how long before Niger gets a Socialist Dictator and they have to move on again.

Uprooted Zimbabwe Farmers on Move
By molotov - Booker rising blog

200+ displaced white farmers will trek 1,800 miles to settle in a remote Nigerian state, at President Olusegun Obasanjo's invitation. They've been given land and granted "pioneer status," exempting them from tax or import duties on farming equipment for 5 years. In return, they promise to bring modern farming methods to Africa's most populous nation, which spends $3 billion a year on food imports.

Greece has always been a joke about security.

Greece's Hellenic Raiding Force is an experienced Special Force. Over the years, they have had extensive training by the CIA and our SF.
They know as much about security as anybody...But I am not sure they will have folks at the airport.
There are so many ways to infiltrate Greece by sea, I am not sure how important the airport would be to attackers.

Would make a good diversion though, since everybody expects to see action at the airport...a clever attacker would give them a little.
