Fearing a new refugee crisis, Turkey is reinforcing its border with Iran to stop a potential influx of Afghans fleeing Taliban rule.

Some refugees who fled weeks and months ago have already started to show up at the rugged border area.

Now, three-metre-high concrete slabs are being installed to stop them.

According to Turkish authorities, security forces have prevented the passage of over 69 thousand irregular migrants and arrested 904 suspects accused of being human traffickers.

Local media report a 155-kilometre stretch of a planned 241-kilometre wall has already been erected at the border.

I like the dirt ramps on the opposition side in the pic.

[albie]

That wouldn’t stop Mexicans

[Steve Van Doorn]

If I was an american trapped in Afghanistan. That would be the path I would take. Which is why they need to put them up so fast.

The EU should fund the construction.

In Erdoo’s Turkey, the walls are to keep people inside.

But that causes problems when ISIS and rest of their terrorists need to cross the border.

The EU should fund the construction.

Given the opportunity I'm sure the citizens of the EU would happily do that... but their 'elites' get off on making citizens miserable... they think that enhances their 'wealth' and power.
