This morning, ARD (German public TV, Channel One) updated the situation at the Moria refugee camp on Lesbos (Greece).
What the local police now say is that they've arrested six folks for the fire that started up two weeks ago and destroyed the refugee camp.
All six are young migrants who lived in the camp.
Greek radio (ERT) is saying that the police comments coming out is that the six are all Afghan young guys....who had submitted asylum paperwork, and 'failed'.
If all of this is true...it'll harm the 'story' that journalists have tried to make out of the situation.
Meanwhile, the bulk of the displaced folks (13k approximately) have refused to move to the temp-facility set up (max of 5k possible there), and they simply reside in the open near the old Moria site. They all anticipate if they just keep to this plan.....someone (Germany) will come to accept them. The problem here, if you think about it....sanitation is marginalized to zero, disease is going to be a major problem shortly, and fall weather is approaching over the next month.
Tapped out as news item number one for the public news folks in Germany? Yes....since early last week.
