Cyprus minister pins blame for migration 'emergency' on Turkey

2022-02-14

[AlAhram] The small Mediterranean island of Cyprus has an outsized problem with irregular migration, says the interior minister of the EU member state located closest to the Middle East.

The top country of origin for pending asylum applications in 2021 remained Syria, but next came Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Somalia, according to the ministry.

"For us, this is a state of emergency," Nicos Nouris told AFP, adding that 4.6 percent of the country's population now are asylum seekers or beneficiaries of protection, the highest ratio in the EU.

#2 Anne of a Thousand Spasms4283;
As much as I would like to... no, love to declare our uber superiority of tactics and strategy... the headlesschickenlandia doesn't really have the ability to hold a coherent policy on... well anything at the moment.
What southern Cyprus is doing at the moment is akin to a homeowner complaining about the apartment in the next lot dumping it's sewage onto his single family housing's yard when in reality, there is a giant ongoing geyser of the stuff painting the heavens behind the apartment and all the neighbourhood is getting drowned in it.

#1 Boy they're playing the Democrat playbook to perfection - simply overwhelm the Christian two-thirds of the island with illegal islamics and other eternally dependent types, and that will be their demise. Except in the US the Democrats are more cagey about their intentions.
