Anticipating a wave of Afghan migration, Greece jumps into action
Al Jazeera
Athens is warning against a repeat of the 2015 refugee crisis, employing surveillance tech, and fortifying borders as chaos grips Kabul.
A metal wall, barbed wire, drones and cameras could be the first sights that welcome some Afghan refugees fleeing to Europe, as they reach the Greek land border with Turkey. Last week, as chaos gripped Kabul with the Taliban’s takeover, Greece announced it had finished the extension of a 40-km (25-mile) border wall on the frontier. Greek Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi has insisted that Athens would not allow a flood of Afghans to enter, warning against a repeat of the 2015 refugee crisis.
