Chaos On Macedonian Border As Migrants Storm Fence

Heavily armed Macedonian police deployed tear-gas launchers, rubber bullets and stun grenades at the border with Greece this morning as an organised migrant invasion attempted to force the fence.

Thousands of anonymous leaflets written in Arabic had been in circulation at the 11,000-man Idomeni migrant camp, calling on the inhabitants to rise up together this afternoon and to charge down the fence stopping them from moving north into continental Europe. A rumour had also been circulating that the border was to be opened by Macedonian authorities at 9am this morning.

Declaring “Today we either break the border fence or die”, large groups of up to 500 migrants moved to the fence, with reports by journalists on the ground showing tear gas grenades being dropped on the Greek side of the border by Macedonian forces, and patrolling armoured cars. Migrants hurled stones at police.

Foreknowledge of the existence of the leaflets calling the migrants to action led to Greek and Macedonian police deploying in great numbers to protect border crossings today.

There have already been multiple casualties among the illegals attempting to storm the fence. Volunteer doctors are reported to be treating individuals with breathing problems after getting caught up in the defensive measures employed by the Macedonian police.

Greek police confirmed there have been “attempts to cross the border”, reports Kronen Zeitung.

While it is not known exactly who produced the detailed instruction leaflet handed to migrants — which featured a map of the border with military style instructions on where to strike and when — Greek media has named hard-left ‘No Border’ and Anarchist activist groups.

The disparate activist groups working in Greece to destroy Europe’s borders came under heavy criticism in March after another such mass march on the border intended to overwhelm Macedonian border forces.

Native born Europeans in their hard-left ‘No Border’ and Anarchist activist groups are behind a lot of this. THINK ANARCHISTS!

It’s called live ammunition.

Use it liberally.

Storm the fence? I thought all they needed was a bigger ladder.

Option 2 is the only palatable option of the two for me.

These people do not get to just move into other folks countries and dictate how they are going to live and be treated and rape and attack the native countrymen and live off the welfare systems there.

Catch phrase question may be worded differently.
