Calais jungle camp set ablaze as demolition ramps up

Calais (France) (AFP) – Workers ramped up demolition of France’s notorious Calais “Jungle” on Wednesday after fierce blazes cut through a swathe of the camp overnight, sending migrants fleeing for safety.

Wearing hardhats and orange overalls in the morning fog, a team of around 15 workers resumed tearing down tents and makeshift shelters at the camp that has become a symbol of Europe’s migrant crisis.

In the distance, a new fire threw black smoke into the sky as several dozen wood shacks smouldered on a main thoroughfare of the sprawling slum.

“Someone burned our tents. Maybe they used petrol or something, I don’t know, but the fires spread fast. We had to run out in the middle of the night,” said Arman Khan, a 17-year-old Afghan.  MORE

  1. Good, they’re just like the negros here who burn down their hoods. Good that the refugees don’t have guns like those in Sh*tcago do cuz they’ll start killing each other which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
