Greek Forces Lay Barbed Wire Along Turkish Border

Greece’s border guards deployed barbed wire on the border between Greece and Turkey, Tuesday, March 10, amid a dispute between the European Union and Turkey that has caused a migrant buildup along the border. ––––––––– READ MORE: For the past five months, Ahmed Ibrahim has been living on the Greek island of Samos in a makeshift refugee camp waiting for his papers to be processed by Greek authorities. Ibrahim, a 23-year-old Syrian Palestinian refugee from the Damascus countryside, has been living in limbo since 2017 when he crossed Turkey into Greece seeking a better future. His fate, among thousands, is now tied to deals yet to be reached between the European Union and Turkey. On Feb. 28, Ankara announced it will open its borders with Europe and allow refugees to cross. The decision came after Syrian government forces, backed by Russian air power, began advancing against Turkey-backed rebels. The new offensive reportedly has displaced more than 1 million people, mostly to a strip close to the Turkish border. The Turkish announcement has put EU leaders on alert, fearing a new crisis similar to the one in 2015 when almost 1 million refugees landed on Europe's shores. ––––––––– LINK: https://www.voanews.com/extremism-wat...
