Cyprus: Muslims frustrated over actual ‘refugee’ conditions, stage coup, burn tents, clash with police
‘We are people, not animals.’
No, you’re not “people”. And stop insulting animals. Animals are a million times more humane and dignified.
They’ve been groomed by smugglers to all repeat the same one-liners that triggers a flood of left-wingers to stand by their side and sing kumbaya, while holding hands. Meanwhile the Muslims discuss in their native Arabic right in front of these liberals which one to rape, rob and kill.
The expected welfare handouts and free homes are not provided to them fast enough. So they have to do the usual: violence, threats, arson and attacks.
What’s new?

- The 114 refugees came ashore at the RAF base on Cyprus last month
- Videos show their growing frustration with staying at the UK base
- One man is shown trying to hang himself, another climbing wire fence
- It is down to Cyprus to handle asylum, but process has only just started

The situation at the British Royal Air Force base in Cyprus where more than one hundred refugees and migrants are staying is deteriorating.
A video filmed at the UK army base in Dhekelia shows a number of worrying incidents, including a man allegedly trying to hang himself, before he is stopped by British military police.
It also shows a man covered in blood after reportedly cutting himself, and a protest by the migrants staged by the edge of the base where at least one man has attempted to climb over the barbed wire fence.

The video, obtained by The Guardian, sees the man on the fence screaming at British personnel; ‘Let us leave! We are people, not animals.’
In addition to the protest and chaos shown on the video, a number of the military tents where the 114 refugees and migrants have been staying, were set on fire on Saturday, according to The Guardian.
The migrants and refugees appear frustrated by the living conditions at the base, where they have been provided with food, shelter and aid approved by UN standards.
The 114 refugees and migrants came ashore at the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri, from where British planes are carrying out bombing raids against ISIS, last month.

Up in flames: Migrants set fire to tents at the British Royal Air Force base in Dhekelia, Cyprus, in protest over their treatment after they landed at another RAF base on the island last month seeking asylum in Europe.

They were initially accommodated in a warehouse at Akrotiri, near the port of Limassol, but since last week they are being housed in another facility in Dhekeli, along the coast in Larnaca.
The latest group, which included Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians, is made up of 28 children, 19 women and 67 men.
A British Forces Cyprus spokesperson said last week: ‘We can confirm that the migrants have been moved to a temporary transit facility to provide more suitable accommodation.
The video indicates that the 114 migrants and refugees at Dhekelia are frustrated by the living conditions at the base, where they have been provided with food, shelter and aid approved by UN standards.

‘The UK government has made clear it will not allow a new migrant route to open up.’
That echoed a statement at the weekend, which said: ‘RAF Akrotiri is not a route through which people will be able to get to the UK.’
It is the responsibility of Cypriot authorities to handle the group’s asylum application to stay on the island, a process which is reportedly under way.
This is in line with a 2003 agreement between Britain and Cyprus, which saw the island nation agree to ‘take responsibility in circumstances like this’.
