France pushes ahead with 'Jungle' migrant camp clearance after clashes
2016-03-02
[CNN] French authorities resumed clearing the infamous "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais Tuesday in the wake of violent festivities at the site, with the country's interior minister vowing "radical" pro-migrant activists would not block the operation.

Monday and 11 coppers suffered minor injuries when police began dismantling structures in the "Jungle," the sprawling camp near the northwestern port of Calais, authorities said.

Calais authorities plan to demolish the southern half of the camp and relocate the inhabitants in response to unsanitary conditions at the site, but met stiff resistance from some migrants colonists and supporters from pro-migrant activist group No Borders Monday.

Tents were set on fire and projectiles were thrown at police at the site, resulting in arrests and injuries and prompting authorities to use tear gas, Steve Barbet, front man for the Calais prefect, told CNN. Later in the evening, protesters and migrants colonists blocked the city's perimeter highway, throwing projectiles at trucks to slow them down, he said.

Calais, the closest French city to the UK, is a major port where ferries cross the English Channel and is situated close to an undersea tunnel connecting the two countries. The "Jungle" is a major transit point for thousands of migrants colonists hoping to enter the UK illegally.

#2  Many Migrants have repor chosen to flee-n-hide from French authorities amongst the still-standing northern part of the Camp, iff not to escape deep into Calais + French countryside.

#1  Once infected with rats the job is ten times more difficult. The best way to stop an infestation is create a barrier to them entering your home. France screwed to pooch by allowing vermin into their homes. They will now be battling this vermin for decades. The PC leadership will bring the death of western civilization on us if we are not careful.
