### Letter to Ajit Niranjan of The Guardian, 2nd May 2024 ###
Dear Ajit,
Following your video-report in The Guardian on the AfD, I thought you might be interested to listen to this Tagesschau report …
https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/eu-libanon-fluechtlingsdeal-100.html
Yes, Ursula von der Leyen is visiting Lebanon* to offer them hundreds of millions of Euros to “hold back the migrants”.
Indeed, the EU recently agreed to pay billions to Egypt and already pays millions to Libya, Tunisia and Morocco to do the same.
In 2013 I visited Morocco and witnessed the stream of trucks of (EU-funded) paramilitary police (armed with batons) leaving Nador (in Morocco) every evening to “hunt” the migrants on the hillsides beside the EU-border with Melilla (Spain) during the night.
So who needs the AfD & Co. when the EU is already doing the job!
All the best,
Alan Mitcham
*: The report mentions corruption issues in Lebanon so who knows where that money will really end up? Maybe some of the cash will trickle off to buy weapons which will help stoke the horrific conflict currently raging in that region. Thank you Ursula!
My god, my god, my god!
