Riot police clash with refugees in Lesbos

[bertramhall]

The situation with refugees in Europe has become very acute and soon they are to demonstrate their aggressive attitude towards the EU citizens. Refugees are unlikely to be hosted and treated warm in the EU and they take attempts to come to the US as it is the most wanted country of all the immigrants. Should we be aware of it and take measures to protect our borders?

Australia Prepares to Resettle 12,000 Syrian Refugees
October 13, 2015 — Australia has begun the task of selecting for resettlement 12,000 refugees from the crisis in Syria, with the first group expected to arrive before late December.

Sydney’s Lakemba district is one of Australia’s most multicultural areas. It has become a haven for a family from the Syrian city Homs, which fled to Lebanon before arriving as refugees in Australia at the start of the year. Youssef al-Kasseh lives with his wife, Hala, and their three children, along with his mother in a small rented house. Speaking through a translator, he said the horrors of what they left behind are always in their thoughts. “Life in Homs is very, very bad and no matter how hard I try to explain, it is very hard," said Youssef. "There is killing all the time, people getting taken away, while they have been taken away, they have been killed.”

Detention, torture, death

Youssef said he was detained and tortured by government officials. “I was taken away and suffered a lot, hit a lot, and suffered not only physically, but also the mental trauma. I have a lot of family and friends that have died,” he said. His wife Hala is happy to be in Australia, but she also worries about those left behind. “I have a lot of friends and family in Syria, and I am very, very afraid of how they are living. They have no food, no electricity. Life is very, very hard and I am constantly worried,” she said. Rallies urging Australia to take in more of those fleeing the conflict in Syria have been held across the country.

New South Wales

More than half of the 12,000 refugees will be resettled in New South Wales, the nation’s most populous state. Displaced women, children and families living in camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey will be given priority. Coordinating plans for their arrival is Professor Peter Shergold, an academic and businessman. “It's possible that, compared to many refugee groups accepted in the past, these newcomers may have spent less time in refugee camps," said Shergold. "They may be more likely, I think, to be educated, have trade and professional skills, have had experience in small business, be more likely to have at least rudimentary English," he said. "And of course, therefore, the challenge. And the vital challenge is how can we harness that education, those skills, so that they can contribute back to Australian society.”

US Military Official: Russian Airstrikes Benefiting IS
October 13, 2015 — Some Russian airstrikes in Syria are benefiting Islamic State militants, a U.S. military official said Tuesday.

Russia, meanwhile, is worried that a recent U.S. airdrop of arms to Syrian rebels might end up benefiting the Islamic State. Colonel Steve Warren, a spokesman for the U.S.-led anti-Islamic State coalition, told reporters via teleconference from Baghdad that IS had taken advantage of the destruction created by “reckless and indiscriminate” Russian strikes. “We’ve seen ISIL make progress based on Russian airstrikes around the Mara line, which is in the northwestern corner of Syria,” Warren said, referring to the Islamic State by one of its acronyms.

Ammo drop

The U.S. dropped 50 tons of ammunition to Syrian rebels fighting Islamic State forces near Raqqah, the militant group’s base, Warren said. The more than 100 dropped bundles included ammunition for assault rifles and machine guns, hand grenades and mortar rounds. When asked by a reporter whether the ammunition was restricted for use against the Russians or the Syrian government fighters, Warren acknowledged that it is “difficult to put a restriction on a bullet,” but that the U.S. was supplying forces focusing on defeating the Islamic State. “There are no Russians where that ammunition went,” he said. “These forces are only in contact with ISIL, so we will help them. As far as other forces, frankly, the policy on that still needs a little bit of developing,” he added. Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin asked what assurances the U.S. could give that the airdropped weapons would not fall into the hands of Islamic State fighters.

Deal near on flights

Also Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said he expected an agreement "in very short order" with Russia on air safety above Syria to avoid a potential midair disaster between U.S. and Russian jets. Russian and U.S. pilots carrying out separate airstrike missions in Syria came within 16 kilometers of each other last week, the Pentagon said. That was close enough for the pilots to clearly read the numbers on each other's planes. "Even as we continue to disagree on Syria policy, we should be able to at least agree on making sure that airmen are as safe as possible," Carter said at a news conference in Boston. "Russia must act professionally in the skies over Syria and abide by basic safety procedures."
