He plans to get to Liverpool or
\nManchester, find a job as electrician and then bring his family along. This is
\nthe story of a Sudanese from the Darfur region, a story similar to that of
\nother thousands of illegal migrants trying to reach Britain from France through
\nthe Channel Tunnel. <\/p>\n

Known as the new jungle, the
\nmigrant camp in Calais, northern France, is packed with people, most of whom
\ncame from Northern Africa via the Mediterranean, taking huge risks to get into
\nthe UK, in search of a better life. Paris and London have announced they are
\ndetermined to collaborate to stop the migration wave, which is now their top
\npriority.<\/p>\n

In their opinion, in spite of the fact that borders are secure, what they are dealing with are criminal gangs,
\npeople smugglers who are making money by bringing thousands of refugees into
\nEurope. Nevertheless, they are not the concern of France and Britain alone, as
\nsome of the migrants who reached Calais entered Italy and Greece. <\/p>\n

That is why Brussels believes the issue must be
\ntackled at European level. All EU countries must fight smuggler networks that
\nendanger the lives of North African migrants and must show solidarity by making efforts
\nto relocate them. In another development, EU countries, Romania included,
\nagreed, at the end of July, to take over temporarily little over 32 thousand
\nmigrants from outside Europe. The head of the Centre for Conflict Prevention
\nand Early Warning, Iulian Chifu, says there is more to this problem than
\neconomic migration.<\/p>\n

Iulian Chifu: Another aspect is related to the Islamic
\nState and the threat it poses to Europe. We don’t rule out this possibility.
\nWhen there is economic migration there is also the possibility that among these
\nmigrants are members of the Islamic State. However, in my opinion, this
\nargument is feeble and has nothing to do with the essence. It’s just an extra
\nargument in favor of radical immigration policy. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is also a third phenomenon that is the transit of
\nwestern Jihadists via Iraq and back, towards their countries of residence. This
\nis probably the most sensitive problem, which the EU has already discussed more
\nthan once. This really is a reason for concern, because a huge security effort
\nis needed to closely monitor this migration and the way in which these western
\nJihadists, who were trained by ISIS, return to their countries of residence. So
\ncertain Jihadists can cross Romania on their way to or from Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

Romania is part of the coalition
\nagainst the Islamic State but does not seem to be one of its direct targets,
\nRomanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu has said recently. Nevertheless, no
\none can afford underestimating the potential of the terrorist phenomenon, so
\nBucharest must take all protection measures.<\/p>\n
