Explained | Belarus-Poland border crisis

There has been a sudden surge of migrants, including women and children, at the #Belarus-#Poland border, causing tensions to rise between the two countries.
The migrants, estimated to be 2,000-4,000 in number, and mostly from West Asia, including Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, have made several attempts to cross over into Poland with the aim of seeking asylum in a European Union (#EU) country. According to media reports, they were aided in their efforts by Belarusian border guards.

Those people are on tourist visas and paid $2000 for it. They are not poor. Belarus invited them. Enjoy your holidays in Belarus! Visa will expiry soon.

[apemaja]

These people are Belarus problem, Lukashenko invited them and granted them visa, he must take care of them. Holdfast Poland! They’re not willing to fight for their own countries but are ready to fight soldiers from a foreign one?

[CWJ]

Hostile to More like protective of their own citizens. That’s what all elected government leaders should do. Poland is not hostile towards legal immigrants.

[Nubbe]

Maybe EU should start sending people from all around the world to Belarus and Russia and tell the world what a bad country Belarus and Russia is for not taking care of them.

What Russia and Belarus is doing must be a crime. I understand that people think Poland should help them but they do not come from countries that will give them asylum, it's safe enuff to live in Iraq and Iraq is a very rich country.

At 1:32 there is a false statement that "Poland is ruled by the right-wing and populist hostile to migrants government". First, the "Law and Justice" party is a center-right party. Second, it is not hostile to migrants, as we currently have in Poland more than 6, 000 political refugees from Belarus, 60, 000 legal economic migrants from Belarus, and about 700, 000 legal migrants from Ukraine (a flux that was triggered by the Russia war with Ukraine). But all of them enterd Poland legally and not by force.
Moreover, there are approx. 55, 000 students from the former Soviet republics (again, mainly from Ukraine and Belarus, some from Russia, Georgia etc.) which can study on free-of-charge Poland's universities and for whom there are many polish government scholarships.

[Ramesh-cgvg]

In recent times people in the world behaving like "vinaashakaale vipareet buddi"( विनाश काले विपरीत बुद्धि.)🤦🤦

[djmoreira]

Lies, Poland is not against emigration, but illegal emigration.

[dd]

Im confused why are people from Syria, Iran and Afghanistan (🇸🇾🇮🇷🇦🇫) running to Europe? Is it because of wars?

[Reina.Nijinsky]

We have the same unfortunate situation at the US southern border, ppl looking for free handouts, free education, healthcare. why don’t Arab countries step up and take in these refugees?🤷🏻‍♀️

[dirkkarmel]

2 000 to 4 000 refugees ?

No way could that be correct !

[wernerpollmanns]

Die Frage, ob der Islam zu Polen gehört, wurde mit ihrem Wasser beantwortet.

[TheMezzy]

Some say this is more about the Russian gas pipelines than it is about migrants. Just like Syria was about Golan heights gas pipelines feeding into EU. Once a solution was in hand to route new lines via Mediterranean waters, Syria war came to an end. If Russia ceases it's gas pipelines into EU, this to will normalize. Follow the money because the people are just a tool for greater wealth.

[jacekszczukocki]

Ok so maybe lets get facts right.
1. Law and Justice party is populist party ... like any other political party;
2. Law and Justice is not "right wing party" :) they have the most socialist political program since world war 2;
3. LaJ are not hostile to migrants, nor polish people are hostile to them - according to census there are over 880 000 foreigner working in Poland;
4. Poland haven't had any "military buildup" on Belorussian border - Poland is defending it's border from invasion of people that have no right to cross its border;
5. migrants are legally in Belarus - so it is responsible for them.
6. Belarus does not injoy Russian military support .. unfortunately they are vasal state to Russia

[easteuropeandiamond]

TurkishIraquian Kurds came to earn money there in majority - they speak Kurdish Turkish Russian
The agreement were achieved from Loukashenko but the organiser are out of the country. You can clearly understand when see from which airports is coming. Those ppl are army not a poor asylum seekers. They crash heads of Poland policement while they came to travel Belarus/ Is it normal?
And Merkel is co operator there otherwise it is hard to understand such actions for a years of love with putin
