Rebirth of England
Chapter 989 Ebola and Refugees
On March 22, the Guinean Ministry of Health announced that the Ebola outbreak has infected 80 people, of whom 59 have died.
In fact, the Ebola virus outbreak, which first broke out in Guinea in February this year, will later spread to eight countries, including Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal, the United States, Spain, and Mali. For the first time, it has spread beyond remote jungle villages to densely populated cities.
Ebola virus is a highly contagious virus that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates. It was first discovered in the Ebola River region of southern Sudan and Zaire (the old name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1976. Due to its extremely high mortality rate, it has been listed by the World Health Organization as one of the most serious viruses that harm humans.
The Ebola virus genus includes five different species: Bundibugyo, Zaire, Reston, Sudan, and TaForest (i.e., Côte d'Ivoire).
The Bundibugyo, Zaire and Sudan types are related to the large-scale Ebola virus disease outbreaks in Africa over the years, while the Reston and Tai Forest types are not seriously harmful to humans.
Among them, the Zaire type is the most pathogenic and lethal, with a mortality rate of nearly 90%. On March 26, the Pasteur Institute in Lyon, France confirmed that the Ebola virus that appeared in Guinea this time was the Zaire type Ebola virus.
Colo itself is located in West Africa and was not involved in the Ebola virus outbreak in the original time and space, but because the flow of people between Colo and neighboring countries has greatly increased, it cannot be taken lightly.
In early March, after the Ebola outbreak in Guinea began to become serious, Colo Airlines announced the suspension of flights to Guinea. The Colo government also stated that it would strengthen the control and inspection of entry and exit, and also reminded citizens to avoid going to countries where Ebola outbreaks have occurred.
After all, it can be seen from the picture that the area where the epidemic broke out is not far from Colo. In the two years after the original time and space Ebola epidemic, it caused more than 32 billion US dollars in losses to the entire West Africa and caused local food shortages.
Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone had just begun to recover from military and political crises, but they were hit by the Ebola epidemic. Agricultural production in various countries was greatly damaged, business was almost stagnant, and people's lives became more difficult.
In response, the West African Free Trade Organization urgently held a meeting on preventing the spread of the Ebola epidemic to the region, and announced that it would jointly provide $1 million in aid to three international organizations including the World Health Organization to respond to the Ebola hemorrhagic fever epidemic spreading in West Africa. (In August of that year, the first aid amount from Japan was only $1.5 million)
At the same time, the Devonshire Charity Foundation also announced a donation of $5 million to relevant international organizations to respond to the Ebola epidemic in Guinea, and began to recruit volunteers including doctors and nurses in England to go to Guinea to participate in treatment.
However, although the Ebola outbreak in West Africa does not seem to be serious now, as its scope expands, it will also have a certain impact on the repatriation of illegal immigrants in Britain.
After all, most of the illegal immigrants going to Europe now come from the turbulent Middle East, from Iraq and Afghanistan at the beginning, to Libya later and Syria recently...
It can be said that the increasingly fierce refugee crisis has made Europe exhausted.
It is almost impossible for the EU to send these refugees back to the Middle East, so as early as a few years ago, Britain and France cooperated on "repatriation of illegal immigrants" and set up two illegal immigrant resettlement sites at the border with Benin and Ghana near Kolo.
The illegal immigrant resettlement site in Benin is mainly used to resettle refugees transported from France; the illegal immigrant resettlement site in Ghana is mainly used to resettle refugees transported from Britain.
Of course, Benin, Ghana and Kolo can also obtain considerable "refugee resettlement funds" from Britain and France.
But when the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa began to intensify, the resistance of illegal immigrants to go to these "illegal immigrant settlements" became stronger and stronger.
"We are urging the EU to coordinate with Turkey on the refugee issue..."
Cameron was also quite troubled by this. He complained to Barron:
"The Turks opened the door for the influx of refugees as a bargaining chip to gain benefits from the EU. Their asking price is very high and there is no way to reach an agreement in the short term."
It can be seen from the map that generally speaking, there are two main routes for smuggling from the Middle East to Europe.
That is to take a boat across the Mediterranean to reach Europe-generally speaking, Greece and Italy are the main landing points.
The other is by land. As we all know, Turkey's geographical location is very important. It spans Europe and Asia, and Turkey borders Syria.
Before that, during the Syrian civil war, Turkey carried out a trick to gain more benefits from the EU, that is, to open the border between Turkey and Syria and allow Syrian refugees to enter Turkey.
Then countless "snakeheads" in Turkey began to help Syrian refugees enter Europe by land and sea, which brought an increasingly large refugee wave to Europe...
Don’t think that Britain will not be affected much because it is farther away from Turkey. Although Bulgaria, Greece and other Eastern and Southern European countries are closer to Turkey, refugees are not stupid. They know that the welfare policies of those countries are better. They are definitely Western European countries. Therefore, there are still a large number of refugees bypassing the Mediterranean and going to Britain and France...
"Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister, immigrants can certainly bring fresh labor to Britain, but it is also important to note that refugees from the Middle East, in particular, have low education levels and religious issues, which make them more likely to become a hotbed of extreme terrorism. Therefore, unless the government has enough funds to resettle them and transform them into civilized people, the result will inevitably be the division and confrontation of domestic society..."

Cameron is not unaware of what Barron said, but the problem now is that Britain does not have so much money to resettle refugees, and under the "comparison" of other EU member states, they cannot say that they are too determined to reject those immigrants, at least they cannot say that they will not leave any, and they must pretend to do so.
"If Turkey insists on using refugees to threaten Europe, then we should also respond, such as giving more support to the Kurds..."
"Kurds?"
After hearing Barron's words, Cameron fell into thought.
