Germany says no to call by Belarus to take in 2,000 refugees

-- Germany rejected Belarus’ proposal that Europe take in 2,000 of the refugees stranded on the border with Poland as the government in Minsk moved to ease the crisis and shift the migrants from the exposed ground near the fence to nearby warehouse.Germany rejected Belarus’s proposal that Europe take in 2,000 of the refugees stranded on the border with Poland as the government in Minsk moved to ease the crisis and shift the migrants from the exposed ground near the fence to nearby warehouse.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko proposed Europe set up a “humanitarian corridor” to Germany for migrants in a phone conversation with Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier this week, while the regime in Minsk would seek to return a further 5,000 refugees to the Middle East, his spokesperson told state news agency Belta on Thursday.

Lukashenko, who is facing a fresh round of sanctions from the EU, had a second phone conversation with the outgoing German leader, which he signalled was aimed at defusing the standoff. Belarusian officials began moving more than 1,000 migrants to a warehouse near the Kuznica border crossing on Wednesday, away from makeshift camps scattered along the border. That process was completed Thursday, officials said.

Belarus says around 7,000 migrants now in the countryBelarus on Thursday said that there were around 7,000 migrants in the ex-Soviet country, with around 2,000 of them camped on the border with EU member Poland. A year ago my wife killed my second born and then committed suicide. I'm left with my first born ( 4 years old). I'm unemployed and in my struggle to find employment she slept hungry last night night. Please assist us with any food donation🙏🏻. For my baby girl💔 Poland's main aim in keeping the migrants out is of course to prevent that utter rubbish former advocate Dirk Prinsloo from somehow sneaking from Belarus into their country. Well, did they try like Poland to stand their ground and protect their borders? No wonder Belarus is assisting these illegals to try and breach Poland - its to get them out and on their merry way to the rest of Europe.
