(AFP) For many of those who live on the Greek Aegean island of Samos it is absolutely clear — they want no more refugees, no new camps and to be left alone as they were before the migrant crisis broke in 2015.
“We, the people who live here, we oppose this idea of a camp,” says an angry Nikos Ftinogiannis.
“We don’t want Samos and the other Aegean islands to become warehouses for humans.”
Just a stone’s throw from his village of Mitilinii in the arid Zervou area, more than a hundred containers have already been positioned in an enclosure marked out with barbed fences to serve as a new, closed camp.
