    I'm not sure if the response was disproportionate but all Belarusian's need to be told get ready to go home. Official letters of warning if the current strategy continues etc.

    This is an orchestrated plan in response to sanctions, granting visas then throwing the arriving Arabs etc. at the border. Europe can dump problems both ways but do it humanely.

    The dictator there needs to be killed by a European national security agency as well.

    Borrow whatever gave Hugo Chávez that sudden case of cancer from the CIA.

    Belarus clears migrant camp at border with Poland as crisis eases
    By Kacper Pempel and Charlotte Bruneau November 19, 2021

    Bruzgi: Belarus authorities have cleared the main camps where migrants had huddled at the border with Poland, in what appeared to be a major development in a crisis that has spiralled in recent weeks into an East-West confrontation.

    Belarus state news agency Belta said the migrants sheltering in the forest had been brought to a warehouse in Belarus away from the frontier on Thursday, local time. A spokesperson for Polish border guards confirmed the camps had been cleared.

    “These camps are now empty, the migrants have been taken most likely to the transport-logistics centre which is not far from the Bruzgi border crossing,” the Polish spokesperson said.

    “There were no other such camps ... but there were groups appearing in other places trying to cross the border. We’ll see what happens in the next hours. ... There are still some people around, but it’s clearly emptying out.”

    European countries accuse Belarus of having deliberately created the crisis by flying in migrants from the Middle East and pushing them to attempt to cross the borders illegally into Poland and Lithuania. Minsk denies deliberately fomenting it........
