ATHENS/WARSAW, Jan 9 2013 (IPS) – The European Union is implementing a new border management system with tougher migration control the core aim. Major security and weapons companies are already reaping the benefits.
Frontex, the EU border agency, has financed major weapons and security equipment producers to present their equipment in demonstrations. European national border guards have participated in these demonstrations as potential customers, IPS learns.

75,000 Syrian refugees live now in Libya without being placed in camps like are the Subsaharians. Among them, many used to work in Libya before the war, mainly in the construction sector. Whereas Syrians still arrive in Libya through Salloum (Egyptian/Libyan border), crossing becomes more and more difficult for men in age to serve in the army (18-45 years).

Switzerland is to provide $2.9 million (SFr3.1 million) to help resettle Chadians who had been working for many years in Libya, and returned home during and after the uprising that overthrew Moammar Gaddafi in 2011.
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) signed an agreement with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Geneva on Tuesday. The money will go to support people now living in three remote regions close to Chad’s northern borders with Libya, Niger and Sudan.
It will be used over a period of two years to help the returnees reintegrate socially and economically.

To all protesters who fight for refugee rights in EU:
Hello dear friends,
it was very great and necessary to start protesting and protestcamp of refugees in austria by marching from Traiskirchen to Vienna (Votivpark)at 24th of nov. 2012. Even as the police has destroyed our camp in the night from 27th to 28th december 2012, police wanted to end our
struggels with heavy gear, but theyre are not successful in ending the demands. Meanwhile there are many setbacks by repression, politics and establishment but we dont want to loose our dignity and thats why we want to have another, better, bigger demonstration.
We will rise again (EU-wide) mobilize!!!

An alle Protestierenden die für die Rechte der Flüchtlinge in der EU
kämpfen:
Hallo liebe Freunde,
Es ist großartig, dass der längst notwendige Protest angefangen hat und nach dem Protestmarsch von Traiskirchen nach Wien (in den Votivpark) am 24. November 2012 ein Protestcamp einiger in Österreich lebender Flüchtlinge errichtet wurde. Obwohl die Polizei unser Zeltlager in der Nacht vom 27. auf den 28. Dezember 2012 geräumt und versucht hat, mit schwerem Geschütz unseren Kampf zu beenden, versagt sie darin, unsere fordernden Stimmen zum Schweigen zu bringen. In der Zwischenzeit gab es mehrere Rückschläge aufgrund der Unterdrückung der Politik und der jeweiligen Institutionen, aber wir weigern uns, unsere Würde zu verlieren, und wollen daher, dass noch eine größere, bessere Demonstration stattfindet.
Wir werden uns wieder (EU-weit) erheben – mobilisiert euch!

Strategy for Security and Development in the Sahel
SUMMARY
This Strategy has four key themes:
- Firstly, that security and development in the Sahel cannot be separated, and that helping these countries achieve security is integral to enabling their economies to grow and poverty to be reduced.
- Secondly, that achieving security and development in the Sahel is only possible through closer regional cooperation. This is currently weaker than it needs to be, and the EU has a potential role to play in supporting it.
- Thirdly, all the states of the region will benefit from considerable capacity-building, both in areas of core government activity, including the provision of security and development cooperation.
- Fourthly, that the EU therefore has an important role to play both in encouraging economic development for the people of the Sahel and helping them achieve a more secure environment in which it can take place, and in which the interests of EU citizens are also protected.
