Wednesday June 17 to 9:00 am, the national police, the PAF, and agents of the autonomous port of Dunkirk have destroyed the refugee camps opposite the ferry terminal in Dunkirk

The camp housed hundreds of migrants.

The migrants "housed" here were mainlynew arrivals; mostly teenagers.


The method is well established, and always the same scenario of destruction that runs in a loop at Dunkirk in years.

Nobody had time to salvage anything from the destructive crush gear tents, huts, food, clothing, and above all personal belongings, papers, money, photos of a baby mama .... there is certainly a desire to create a climate of terror and insecurity among refugees.


For years, the State, in Dunkirk, destroyed the camps but does not solve the problem

This kind of repression is why we are going to Calais

Given that it is the French state that has inflicted this destruction upon these migrants it probably isn't surprising that they are not rushing to ask that same state for protection. Perhaps they think the grass is greener on the other side of the channel... sadly it is a fairly similar situation of persecution and disbelief.

We are not interested in those who distinguish between 'legitimate' and 'illegal' migrants. Wherever migrants are we will show solidarity with them.
