Afghan refugees trapped in Greek camps - 09 Mar 08

Hundreds of refugees fleeing the violence in Afghanistan have become trapped in squalid camps in Greece. They went there hoping to get into Europe for a new life but the authorities won't allow them to continue their journey.

And for now, they're not sending them home either. Nicole Itano reports from the Greek city of Patras.

@PakistaniShaheen Don't allow them to clean your toilets. Once they've seen what you and your parents and grandparents has build kind of society and wealth, they want to have it. Without sacrifices and efforts. That's why they are here. Just abusing the laws of your country (which they never bothered to incorporate in their own country). It's more comfy to use a nice, clean house instead of cleaning up the own one.

If you're looking for a better live than change the state of your country, not the other peoples country. Those people aren't refugees, they are invaders.

@MillyVanillification tell that to the hundreds of thousands of greeks that will migrate to other countries the next few years because of the economic situation here in greece...

@MillyVanillification True :) But this Hazara guys (Mongols, who claim to be Afghans) are using racism as an excuse to get into Europe. You see, this Hazaras are discrimineted a lot in Afghanistan and Iran.

Just read some of the comments by "pro-afghans" and their HUGE amount of racism, and prejudice against dark skinned people. No wonder your country is a fucking shit hole, because you cant learn to get on with others and would rather fight them instead, due to their background, fucking cavemen. The only intelligent afghan is the non sectarian one, do they exist, rarely. @MillyVanillification makes a perfectly valid point. Well said.

@infiltratorr How are pakistanis filthy dravidians? You thick fuck. Most pashtuns come from Pakistan. And the way i see it, dravidians might be filthy (due to them being HINDUS), not because they are dark skinned (And you say you are muslims in afghan LOL), But they are absolutely lightyears ahead when it comes to economic progress and intelligence. Just look at how many of the worlds top IT companies are in Bangalore. Can the same be said about you wannabe Iranians? No. Damn Parasites

Greece has huge problems on it's own. That's why invaders(a.k.a. "refugees") are not treated right. They only cause more problems to Greece. Go invade some arab state instead.
