Today, Egypt reopened the Rafah border crossing which lies on its border with Gaza, allowing Palestinians to come through, some for medical reasons, some to be reunited with family and others for business dealings. This is the first time in four years that the border has been opened, and Egypt has indicated that this move is permanent.
The Rafah border crossing was opened at 9:00am local time, and by mid-afternoon, 200 Gazans had gone through.
Israel has criticized the opening of the border, as it fears it will be used to smuggle weapons. However, according to a report in Guysen News International, analysts believe it also has positive aspects. They indicate that Israel will not need to concern itself with supplying Gaza for its basic needs, since Egypt has now become the official portal. Israeli general Giora Eiland added that attempts to break the blockade will now be unnecessary.
The rulings indicate that women, children and men under 18 and over 40 years of age are permitted free passage from Gaza to Egypt; men under 40 will be required to apply for a visa which must be granted by the authorities for entry. A great majority of Gaza's population is under 40. According to a Palestinian official, a total of 23 people were turned away due to Egyptian security concerns.

A crew of intrepid Citizen TV makers learning to shoot with WORLDbytes, take to the streets to investigate public attitudes to immigration. On asking people what they think about the idea of ‘Open Borders’ many responses are refreshingly positive. Some may argue this is because it’s Hackney and Wood Green in Cosmopolitan London but it’s clear old fashioned ‘racism’ has had its day. Politicians cannot blame the second class citizenship they impose through immigration law on public attitudes. ‘Too few resources’ for ‘too many people’ is more common but we’ll visit the streets to check out public views on that next.A crew of intrepid Citizen TV makers learning to shoot with WORLDbytes, take to the... more

French immigration minister Eric Besson has announced he will clear the makeshift tents in Calais known as the jungle. This report by Onyeka Igwe, reveals the true hell of the Calais ‘jungle’ and the incredible journeys migrants have made to get there. Besson claims clearing the ‘jungle’ is a humanitarian action, but this report tells a different tale and makes the case for Open Borders. Besson’s disgraceful initiative to preserve UK border controls is guaranteed to provide further hell for the aspirant young migrants whose only crime is wanting to make a better life for themselves. Besson is not offering migrants accommodation but is promising repatriation. Humanitarian? We don’t think so.
