AFGHANIS, PAKISTANIS ANS IRANIANS IN FREE-FOR-ALL FISTICUFFS ON GREEK ISLAND OF KOS…….

Now just imagine this near you.

Fistfights for the ferry: New chaos on Kos when Pakistanis, Afghans and Iranians erupt into wild brawl as tensions boil over while waiting to be registered as migrants

More Syrians land on Kos as screening centre opens on cruise liner

Greek authorities have given priority to Syrians (bottom right) who are considered refugees because they are fleeing their country’s bitter civil war.

Meanwhile boatloads of migrants have continued to arrive on the island, where many have already been sleeping rough on the streets. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) warned the number of asylum seekers to reach Europe will top 250,000 by the end of August – and has already surpassed the total of 219,000 for the whole of last year.
