FRANCE : THE MIGRANT JUNGLE OF CALAIS
On Monday, Feb. 29, 2016, French authorities began removing residents from the southern portion of the so-called “Jungle of Calais,” a refugee camp that has long served as a way station for a shifting population of several thousand migrants hoping to reach England via the Channel Tunnel, whose entrance is nearby. The French government says that it acted because conditions in the camp, always deplorable, had declined further as the number of residents increased in recent months.

28 JANUARY 2016 - EUROPE MIGRANT CRISIS : SWEDEN TO EXPEL 80,000 ASYLUM SEEKERS
Sweden intends to expel up to 80,000 migrants who arrived in 2015 and whose application for asylum has been rejected, Interior Minister Anders Ygeman said today.
“We are talking about 60,000 people but the number could climb to 80,000,” the minister was quoted as saying by Swedish media, adding that the government had asked the police and authorities in charge of migrants to organise their expulsion, likely spread over several years.
The proposed measure was announced as Europe struggles to deal with a crisis that has seen tens of thousands of migrants arrive on Greek beaches, with the passengers - mostly fleeing conflict in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - undeterred by cold wintry conditions.
