At the end of this week 'the Jungle' migrant camp in Calais is to be demolished, all the makeshift homes and buildings will be torn down, and residents dispersed. Those who seek asylum will be taken most likely to england while the rest will be expected to return home if they are not seeking immediate protection, if not they will possibly be taken into police custody.

Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of Islam.

An interesting situation, has been created by President Obamas decision to stop the developement of the European Nuclear Defense system. He has openly made a gesture of friendship. Its a show of trust that should result in a more open relationship with the middle east. Since the Iraq war the issues of the Middle East have become a world wide topic. But we can't solve any problems if everyone is further polarizing the issue. What needs to happen is a changing of the image the rest of the world has of America as a warmonger. In order to do that, America must in fact stop be a warmonger

Calls for UK aide to Calais Refugees

The UN wants the UK to grant entry to some of the immigrants being moved out of 'the Jungle' Which is now to be closed down by the French government. The issue for most of these people will be where to go next, and it seems they will be spread across Europe wherever they may be permitted.

Speaking of Improvisation.

Check out Sergio Altamura, improvising with a guitar. Absolutely insane sounding.

Calais Migrant Camp.

The trouble with seeking Asylum is that it can usually only be done through your communication with outside nations government organizations, Which is usually impossible for most people in situations where they would need to seek Asylum. France has a very large immigrant population, most from north africa (via Spain, or the mediterranean) or the Middle East. Making xenophobia a prime concern there. Places like 'The Jungle' allow these immigrants to find people in a similiar situation but unfortunately it does not weed out, criminals or disease. Its a dangerous place to be, but the only choice for many.

Somalia: Continued strife.

Already being a struggling with a basically nonexistent government. Extreme Poverty, a hub for weapons trade to most of Africa. Somalia now harbors figures from many criminal and terrorist organizations. Which is a shame, because it is left in the same sort of situation as Afghanistan was, but with no hope of real change. Though the US and UN have been there for quite some time.
