💭 The move to empty a migrant camp is the latest effort to get migrants out of public view before the global spotlight is trained upon Paris this summer. Rights groups fear the evicted will be left even more vulnerable.
Police in the French capital, Paris, on Wednesday cleared a major migrant squat in the southern suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine with just 100 days to go before the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The makeshift camp at the site of an abandoned bus company office had been home to roughly 450 migrants, mainly young men but including some mothers with small children as well.
Rights groups said most migrants there had documents and were awaiting social housing allotments.
Concerned aid organizations expressed fear that those now being ejected in an effort to “clean up” the city before the Olympics take place — from July 26 to August 11 — would not be able to find long-term housing assistance after being thrown out.
“The squat was the biggest in France. It doubled in size in one year because of the Olympics. Last year, authorities cleared out migrants from nearby the Olympic Village, and many displaced people came here,” said Paul Alauzy of the humanitarian organization Medecins du Monde.
Authorities said the eviction operation will continue for several days. On Wednesday, some 300 people were forcibly removed from the site — 150 had left the night before. Many of those evicted were put onto buses to be brought to other cities around France.
Some groups also raised concerns that the move would negatively impact the well-being of school-aged children who are uprooted from the squat.
💭 Last August, Human Rights Watch released a report stating that Saudi border guards had killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants attempting to cross the border illegally between March 2022 and June 2023. Faced with these documented accusations, Ethiopia announced a joint investigation with Saudi authorities and asserted that they maintained excellent relations with Saudi Arabia. Since then, no results have been made public. 38 survivors had testified. FRANCE 24’s Clothilde Hazard met two of them a few months after their return home.
💭 As Ethiopia continues to face one of the worst droughts in recent history, millions of its people are suffering from acute hunger. The United States resumed shipments in December after suspending aid due to theft allegations. But starvation is still prevalent. Special correspondent Jack Hewson reports from the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia.

😈 As Dubai experiences its worst floods on record, many have been shocked to discover that the country has been working to control the weather for decades.
Since the early 1990s, the UAE has used a technique called cloud seeding to trigger rain to fall where there might otherwise be none.
Cloud seeding itself might pose risks since little is known about its effects.
The technique is not without its potential risks – and experts warn that cloud seeding could produce ‘catastrophic impacts’.
We have little control over the aftermath of cloud seeding – so little idea where exactly it is going to be raining. This could lead to heavy rain in some regions while others are left in drought.
The Edomites and Ishmaelites do genuinely hate Christian Ethiopia and Ethiopians because they were not able to fully colonize them. Fabricated wars, diseases, starvation etc are the weapons they still are using against Ethiopians. The traitor-in-chief, evil Oromo Abiy Ahmed Ali is their man who is helping them fulfill their satanic mission.
They are playing God with the weather. Cloud seeding and stealing where chemicals are sprayed in clouds to create rain bring Armageddon.
Arabs steal the rain clouds from the Ethiopian highlands; This results in poor harvests, drought and famine in Ethiopia.
😈 Arabian Ishmaelites;
☆ They poisoned the world by extracting the remains of our ancestors and animals (fossils) buried under the sands of their deserts for thousands of years and selling them as fuel to the world.
☆ They spread the religion of Satan called Islam and spread wars, terror, murders, and slavery.
☆ They surround us and deprive us of peace, they are stealing our blood, our marrow, our sisters, our animals, our grains, our fruits, our rivers, and now our clouds. After all, apart from theft, hatred and murder, what good things have Arab Muslims contributed to this world? Nothing good!
