Belarus says camps on Polish border have been cleared of people
The Guardian ^ | 19 November 2021 | Andrew Roth

Belarus has said the hastily constructed migrant camps on its border with Poland have been cleared of people in a sign that Minsk is keen to defuse the deadly crisis that its leader, Alexander Lukashenko, helped to create.

On Thursday, that crisis claimed its 13th victim after an NGO reported that a one-year-old child had died after his family attempted the perilous journey through Belarus into the EU.

According to the Polish Centre for International Aid, the child’s family was from Syria and had been trapped outside in the forest for six weeks. The cause of death was not given, although the child’s family was said to have suffered stab wounds from an attack.

Belarusian state media, along with some international press, reported that the campsite near the Polish city of Kuźnica, where people attempting to cross the border were forced back with teargas and water cannon, had been cleared of people on Thursday morning. All that remained of the migrant camp, Belarusian state media wrote, were “huts, remnants of tents, abandoned clothes and dying fires”.

The Polish border guard service confirmed: “The campsite near the border crossing in Bruzgi was deserted. The Belarusian services sent the foreigners to the transport and logistics centre located several hundred meters away.” Belarus had already moved more than 1,000 migrants to the warehouse on Wednesday, where they were given food.

It is unclear where they will go from there.

Migrants from Syria, Iraq and other countries in the Middle East have reported spending more than £10,000 in travelling to Belarus and then contracting smugglers to help them across the border. Many have said they have no plans to go back.

If they are refugees, why are they traveling 2000 miles to Poland passing numerous countries that they should seek asylum in?

If Poland starts letting them pass there will be no end of new customers.

They are definitely NOT refugees. Even the leftist Guardian calls them economic migrants

They are middle-class people who fell for a scam ultimately run by Putin and Lukashenko.

They were charged thousands of dollars by scammers and promised to be delivered to Germany. Families begged, borrowed and stole to come up with the money. Now they have lost the money and can’t get anything.

Herod redux, rampaging the planet, slaughtering (by any means) those that threaten him.

When Lukashenko threatened to shut down Vlad's money line {gas pipe line} from Russia to Europe, the KGB thug reminded him of how bad it feels to have your nutz in a vice, while the other guy is pulling out your fingernails with needle nose pliers and the third guy is using a blow torch on your bare feet.
