What's happening in Europe is very disturbing....... How Macedonia became the latest front in Europe’s migrant crisis By Adam Taylor August 21 at 3:07 PM [iframe id="twitter-widget-i1440187876314503196" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="twitter-follow-button twitter-follow-button-rendered" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.29fa067efae8f69d10b2e0711dba34af.en.html#_=1440187876323&dnt=false&id=twitter-widget-i1440187876314503196&lang=en&screen_name=mradamtaylor&show_count=false&show_screen_name=true&size=m" data-screen-name="mradamtaylor" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 147px; position: static; visibility: visible; height: 20px;"][/iframe] Macedonia declared a state of emergency this week. The problem? A 30-mile-long stretch of its border with Greece where Macedonian police and soldiers are struggling to control what they describe as a "massive" influx of migrants. Things turned violent on Friday: Macedonian special police forces fired stun grenades to disperse a crowd of thousands. Greek police say at least eight people were injured in the chaos, with one child apparently cut open by shrapnel from a grenade, the Associated Press reports. Macedonia is just the latest hot spot in a continent-wide migrant crisis that, in some ways, is starting to resemble a war. In Britain, the tabloid press demands that the army be sent to France to prevent migrants entering the Channel Tunnel. In Hungary, there are plans to build a giant wall along the border with Serbia. And in the Mediterranean, Frontex, the European border agency, has boats working security rather than search-and-rescue missions, despite the death by drowning of thousands of migrants making the journey from North Africa. read more............... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/08/21/how-macedonia-became-the-latest-front-in-europes-migrant-crisis/
