Refugee Family Demands to Be Settled in Germany – Or They'll Go Back to Syria


EXPRESS: A FAMILY of migrants have demanded that they are settled in Germany and have refused to seek asylum in any other European country.

Housam Kbieh - who travelled to Europe with his wife and two sons - has threatened to go back to Syria if his family are not relocated to the EU's most powerful member state, which offers a generous benefit system and open-door policy.

Kbieh and his family are staying at an old military camp in the north of Munich, which has been transformed into a migrant centre.

The refugee said they were forced to flee Damascus, but outright refused to be settled anywhere else in the EU.

He said: "I go back to my country, it's Germany or nothing." » | Jake Burman | Thursday, September 24, 2015

Poutine se prépare à des frappes en Syrie

Le président russe est prêt à agir seul en Syrie, si nécessaire.
LE MATIN: ETAT ISLAMIQUE — En cas de rejet par les Etats-Unis de sa proposition d'allier leurs forces, le président russe est prêt à bombarder les djihadistes.

La Russie a renforcé sa présence militaire dans le pays et se prépare à des frappes unilatérales contre l'Etat islamique (EI) . Elle a également accru ses livraisons d'armes à l'armée syrienne dans le cadre du renforcement de son soutien au président syrien Bachar el-Assad.

Selon Bloomberg, qui cite des personnes proches du dossier, Vladimir Poutine préférerait que le gouvernement américain et ses alliés acceptent de coordonner leur campagne de bombardements contre l'EI avec la Russie, l'Iran et l'armée syrienne. » | ats/nxp| jeudi 24 septembre 2015

Bürgerkrieg in Syrien: Merkel will Gespräche mit Diktator Assad


SPIEGEL ONLINE: Es wäre eine Kehrtwende in der Syrien-Politik des Westens: Kanzlerin Merkel bringt erstmals direkte Gespräche mit Diktator Assad ins Spiel. Genau das fordert auch Russland - und droht mit Luftschlägen.

Für eine Lösung des Syrien-Konflikts hält Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) nun doch auch Gespräche mit Syriens Staatschef Baschar al-Assad für nötig. "Es muss mit vielen Akteuren gesprochen werden, dazu gehört auch Assad", sagte Merkel beim EU-Sondergipfel zur Flüchtlingskrise in Brüssel. Es müssten aber auch andere Akteure in der Region einbezogen werden wie Iran oder Saudi-Arabien.

Ein Zugehen auf Assad wäre eine Kehrtwende in der Syrien-Politik des Westens. Bisher lehnen insbesondere die USA eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Diktator ab, Washington fordert seinen Sturz. Russland hingegen unterstützt Assad. » | kev/AFP/dpa/Reuters | Donnerstag, 24. September 2015

Refugee Crisis: EU Divided as Hungary Attacks Migrant Quota as 'Unrealisable and Nonsense'


THE TELEGRAPH: Hungarian foreign minister attacks the EU refugee quota forced through as a waste of time after interior ministers forced a plan to relocate 120,000 on the continent

The EU migrant quota plan to relocate thousands of migrants across the continent is “unfeasible, unrealisable and nonsense”, Hungary's foreign minister said, as Europe's east-west division was laid bare on Wednesday.

As EU leaders meet in Brussels on Wednesday to approve a plan to relocate 120,000 attacked by eastern European countries, Péter Szijjártó called the quota scheme a waste of time.

Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary voted against the plan to take in refugees and migrants from Italy and Greece but it was forced through on Tuesday.

Under the European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker's plan, Hungary would receive 1,294 of the 120,000 to be shared by the EU countries. But instead, the Hungarian government supports a pan-EU Greek border protection initiative which would deploy helicopters and infrared cameras to catch migrants, with Frontex and Greece setting numbers on troops and border guards.

Budapest suggested that the EU should then fund refugee camps for Syrians and finance new camps if required.

Mr Szijjártó described the plan as a waste of time and said: "The plan is unfeasible, unrealisable and nonsense."

He added: “This is the beginning of a new world order; we are not talking about a refugee crisis, but about a wave of mass migration."



The Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban accused German chancellor Angela Merkel of "moral imperialism" and of trying to impose her vision of an open EU on the rest of the bloc. (+ video) » | Dan Nolan at the Hungarian-Croatian border | Wednesday, September 23, 2015
