Switzerland: FDP Wants to Return Eritrean Migrants Back Home

After nearly a decade of accepting the majority of Eritrean asylum cases,
Switzerland is now having second thoughts about their disastrous policy.

Recently, a Swiss news agency
<http://www.20min.ch/schweiz/news/story/21335353> reported the Free
Democratic Party (FDP) will consider whether asylum seekers from Eritrea can
be sent back to their home.

“It concerns us that the political and the security situation in Eritrea are
again re-evaluated”, said Philipp Müller, the President of FDP.

Switzerland, like other western countries, began accepting Eritrean asylum
cases in mass in 2005, after UNHCR baptized all Eritrean migrants with the
coveted status of "refugees" in its effort to destabilize Eritrea.

Swiss authorities say Eritrean migrants makeup the highest percentage of
asylum cases in their country, a result they admit is due to their 2005
policy.

Currently, there are 5721 accepted asylum cases of "Eritreans"*, while
another 9515 are waiting to be processed, according to the report.

Switzerland isn't alone in trying to send Eritrean migrants back to their
country. Norway has also announced it will consider whether asylum seekers
from Eritrea can be sent back too.

Norway also said it plans to return 500 migrants who have broken Norwegian
laws to Eritrea, which is pending a return agreement with the Eritrean
Government,

> according to Dr. Nazareth Amlesom Kifle.

*Eritreans is put into quotation because many if not most of the "Eritreans"
claiming asylum in Western countries are Ethiopians, or other African
migrants pretending to be Eritreans.

By favoring Eritrean asylum cases over other African migrants, Western
countries are deliberately inducing young Eritreans to flee their homeland.
In essence, they are telling Eritreans in Eritrea to chose a life in the
West where they will be guaranteed with free housing and free state social
benefits in a developed country, or chose a life in Eritrea where they face
the challenges that come with being in a developing country.
