What is the conflict situation of immigrants in northern France?

On Thursday (65438+1 October1), local time in Calais, a port city in northern France, a conflict broke out between immigrants, resulting in four people being shot and at least 18 injured.

A spokesman in Calais said that a fight broke out between Afghan immigrants and Eritrean immigrants, during which a shooting incident occurred and four people were shot in critical condition. The police said that the combatants also used wooden sticks and iron bars in the conflict.

After the conflict, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said in Calais that the violence in the city had reached an "intolerable" level and the government vowed to "control it".

According to the report, although the notorious "jungle" refugee camp was closed in 20 16 and 10, hundreds of immigrants remained in the city, and conflicts broke out near Calais. According to the statement issued by the Elysee Palace last month, there are still 300 to 500 immigrants living in Calais, a sharp drop from 2,000 people 14 months ago.

French President Macron said that there would never be another "jungle" refugee camp in Calais, and insisted that this port city could not be used by immigrants as a "side door" to Britain.

Britain announced that it will spend an extra 44.5 million pounds to strengthen border control between Britain and France to help deal with illegal immigrants and smuggling groups. In addition, Britain and France signed a new agreement last month to speed up the processing of asylum applications of immigrants who have the right to become British refugees. The new bill will shorten the processing time for adults from 6 months to 1 month and for minors from 6 months to 25 days.
