Former president Carter urges Germany to take lead in migrant crisis
Former
U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Tuesday called on Germany to take the
lead in solving the European migrant crisis, a situation he compared to
the flow of Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees to the United States
during his presidency. Carter, speaking at his annual "Conversation with
the Carters" event at the Carter Center in Atlanta, recalled that the
United States accepted some 12,000 Southeast Asian refugees a month in
the late 1970s following the Vietnam War, hoping to set an example for
other countries. "I'm hoping there will be a similar reaction maybe with
Germany leading," Carter, who served as president from 1977 to 1981,
said of the response to the thousands of refugees who have fled war-torn
Syria and are arriving in Europe.Read More ...

Hungary shuts EU border, taking migrant crisis into its own hands
By
Krisztina Than and Ivana Sekularac SERBIAN-HUNGARIAN BORDER (Reuters) -
Hungary's right-wing government shut the main land route for migrants

one of her ministers called for financial penalties against countries
that refused to accommodate their share of the migrants, provoking anger
in central Europe.Read More ...
