French immigration minister Eric Besson has said he will clear the makeshift tents in Calais known as the ‘jungle’. This report by Onyeka Igwe, reveals the true hell of the Calais ‘jungle’ and the incredible journeys migrants have made to get there. Besson claims clearing the ‘jungle’ is a humanitarian action, this is an incredible lie. It involves clearing people who have travelled thousands of miles, have nowhere to sleep, are mainly young kids, who have no money, no papers and no family with them. Besson’s disgraceful initiative to preserve UK border controls is guaranteed to provide further hell for the aspirant young migrants whose only crime is wanting to make a better life for themselves. Besson is not offering migrants accommodation but is promising repatriation. The charity WORLDwrite is demanding the British government immediately calls upon the French Government to stop the clearance and rounding up of migrants and lifts UK border controls to let migrants in to the UK. less
