EU Refugee Crisis :People treated like Animals

Some in EU might say that it is not the responsibility of Europe but the international community as a whole but the fact is refugees are on their way to Europe. The problem is Europe is treating it more of a problem than fate, with the Hungarian PM ‘ Christian Europe will now be turned into a Muslim Europe’.

Also countries like Hungary need to realize that most of the refugees want to settle in countries like Germany and Austria and not Hungary itself, with Hungary receiving less than 300 asylum applications it needs to open its borders so that refugees might make way to Germany and other rich European countries.

Also the German chancellor Angela Merkel has been applauded for upholding the basic tenets of humanity but getting into the technicalities of refugee influx a growing concern for Islam-phobia has arisen with the left wing gaining ground in Germany.

This problem also challenges the existing policies of EU based on asylum grants, as clearly we can see the system is failing every day with humanity questioned too.

The EU in recent days has also struck a deal with turkey regarding stopping of migrant boats. In 2011 there was a deal struck between EU and Libya but after the dethronement of Muammar Gaddafi the problem again started.

EU has promised to crack down on illegal smugglers but as of now there are all words and they are as good as welfare schemes in Orissa as they are only on paper and not implemented in reality.

In refugee camps areas there are thousands fighting for a packet of food and a water bottle, it has also been reported that food packets have been thrown justifying animal treatment of refugees. We need to remember that world didn’t   invent human rights but human rights invented the world.

With the bankrupt Greece economy and overflowing of refugees into the Greek island of lesbos EU needs to think fast and adapt a proactive approach.

EU member states need to also agree on the quota system that will distribute and relocate the refugees within the EU.

What EU needs to do now is accept that they have a situation at hand and not be delirious or intentionally be negligent, they need to accept something’s before we can move on and counter the crisis. A political is the only solution as one cannot have the whole Middle East making its way to Europe. It’s up to the leaders to uphold human rights and make coherent policies to effectively tackle the crisis.
