Migrants Burn Down Lampedusa Refugee Welcome Center
Breitbart London ^ | May 17, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph. D.

A group of Tunisian migrants set fire to the main pavilion in a Lampedusa refugee welcome center Tuesday night, causing severe damage, after learning they would be repatriated to their home country, according to reports.

The fire enveloped the first aid and reception center of Imbriacola in Lampedusa, which presently houses some 530 asylum-seekers, though no injuries have been reported. This is not the first time that migrants have set the pavilion ablaze. Similar acts of arson occurred in 2009 and then in 2011.

After hours battling the fire, which was set around 10:30pm, teams of firefighters stationed on the island were finally able to get the blaze under control in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“The situation is unclear. But luckily all the guests are safe, no one was hurt,” said the director of the center, Rossana Perri.

Well, if there’s no place to stay, I guess they have to be sent back.

These islands close to another country are coming back to bite the country they belong to. Not that I’m blaming Greece and Italy for this mess.

The EU structure in Brussels (and NATO) are responsible for this.

They are attempting, at all costs, to keep the bankrupt PIIGS in the EU, and keep them following EU progressive social-engineering schemes.

all the guests are safe

"Guests???" What kind of "guests" burn down their hosts' house? Let's call them what they really are: smelly, uncivilized invaders without an ounce of gratitude.

I said when this started that the first wave of refugees ought to have been shot by the Europeans, and that it was the humanitarian thing to do.

Now they’re going to have to kill a thousand times that number just to survive.

Why can’t they force them to live in the ashes?

Because they are spineless liberal metrosexuals...

Just more evidence they want Europeans to rule them again. Better they just stay home in Tunisia and the French send administrators.
