Israel To Construct Detention Center For Illegal Africans

Monday, November 29th, 2010
AHN News Staff

Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) – In an attempt to deal with the rising inflow of illegal African immigrants,the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday adopted a controversial measure to construct a detention center for migrants who enter the country from neighbor nation Egypt.

The center would be constructed in the southern Israeli desert where the migrants would be given food, shelter and basic health services until they were deported to their homeland.

Stressing the need to stop thousands of migrant workers, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu said the influx could threaten Israeli jobs as well as the Jewish character of Israel as a state.

The prime minister went on to say that refugees from war-torn African nations such as Sudan would be granted unrestricted entry to Israel as in the past. However, officials claimed only 35,000 Africans were refugees and the remainder were treated as illegal economic migrants.

The plan has been criticized by human rights groups and social workers, who charge the facility would be similar to ghettoes the Nazis built for the Jews during World War II.

Israeli authorities claim the facility will not be a jail. “We aren’t jailing or distancing them,” Eyal Gabai, the director-general of Netanyahu’s office, told Al Jazeera. “They can have a good time, eat and drink.”

Israel Planning Internment Camp For 10,000 African ‘Infiltrators’

Thursday, November 25th, 2010
The Media Line Staff

Jerusalem, Israel Arieh O’Sullivan – Israel’s Cabinet is expected to decide to build a massive detention facility to house some of the 10,000 African migrants who have flooded into the country.

The discussion is set for Sunday and the Prime Minister’s office said the facility was part of a multi-pronged effort to end the wave of Africans–some fleeing war, others in search of jobs–infiltrating into the country.

The session comes a week after Israel began construction of a formidable barrier along parts of the 250-kilometer-long (160-mile) border with the Egyptian Sinai and signals a firm attempt by the government to tread where no other Israeli government has done before in addressing the flood of Africans entering the country illegally.

“For the first time, we are working to formulate a comprehensive migration policy that will be anchored in Knesset legislation,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.

“The phenomenon of infiltrators into Israel endangers the Jewish and democratic character of the state of Israel and burdens its social welfare services, health system, law enforcement authorities and local councils,” Netanyahu said.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s office said the goal was to reduce the economic incentives for infiltrators to come to Israel and thus reduce the flow into the country.

But, with a short term internment followed by a chance to earn enormous wages by African standards, it isn’t clear if the goal is achievable.

Israel’s Interior Minister Eli Yishai, head of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, was one of the major proponents of preventing non-Jews from illegally entering the country in order to save Israel from what he called a “natural disaster.”

Reacting to criticism of his fear-mongering policies, Yishai said last week that the reality in some parts of the country has become intolerable.

“I urge those who think I have horns to visit the poor neighborhoods of southern Tel Aviv, neighborhoods that have been swarmed by infiltrators and are collapsing, places where women, children and the elderly are afraid to go out at night … I’d like to send 30 or 40 infiltrators to their neighborhoods and hear what they have to say afterwards,” he said.

“I am more sensitive and more merciful than all those who speak against me,” Yishai added. “If we don’t practice a clear, tough and decisive policy, in 20 or 30 years, the country will be overrun by infiltrators harming the demographic character of the country.”

The exact number of Africa migrants is not known. Estimates put it at about 31,000 with over half coming from Eritrea, 30 percent from Sudan and the remainder from across the continent.

A statement from the Prime Minister’s office said the proposed center would be “open” and will provide inmates with basic needs such as lodging, food, drink and health care.

Once a decision was reached, it was expected be operational within six months. The camp would house those caught attempting to slip into the country and not for the tens of thousand already inside.

Last year, there was a sharp increase in the number of infiltrators, with further increases in recent months. In 2009, an average of approximately 300 infiltrators entered Israel every month. The monthly average for 2010 currently stands at approximately 1,200, with almost 1,300 in November so far, the prime minister’s office said.

But military commanders said they saw even larger numbers. Lt. Col. Nir Harpaz, commander of a battalion patrolling the border, told The Media Line his soldiers on the lookout for armed terrorists were putting themselves in danger when confronting the bands of infiltrators.

“You don’t open fire at these guys. You don’t shoot them. That is forbidden. It’s true that they are violating Israel’s sovereignty and crossing over but you aren’t going to be shooting at someone who is only coming to look for a job,” Harpaz said.

“The problem is that terrorists have tried to hitch a ride on these foreigners. They come in 20-30, two terrorists can be disguised in this group and then try to attack themselves on my soldiers,” Harpaz said. “They understand that if they are caught they will be put in a detention center where it will be crowded but after a month they will get released and then they’ll find a job. The government has to solve this.”

After a short detention, the illegal aliens, most of them fleeing forced conscription in Eritrea, or the war in Sudan, are dumped in the streets of Tel Aviv where they live in shelters or eke out a living doing menial labor. Refugees speak of harrowing journeys on their way to Israel. They pay about $2,000 to Bedouin guides to sneak them over the border.

Israel has already issued instructions to its Population, Immigration and Borders Authority (PIBA) to start cracking down on Israelis who hire the illegal migrants. PIBA officials have reportedly balked at carrying out the orders until a facility providing basic needs to the Africans was available.

According to the proposal, the establishment of the center will facilitate enforcement against those who employ infiltrators without work permits. Israel was also seeking ways to rid the country of the tens of thousands of illegal African workers, including talks with other countries who would agree to take them.

Yohannes Bayu, himself a recognized political refugee from Ethiopia, has set up the African Refugee Development Center to help the refugees. He urged the government to set up a proper procedure to decide who is a political refugee and who was just looking for work. He said the fence would not solve the issue.

“Even if there will be a fence out there and someone’s life is in danger outside of their borders Israel has to protect those people. Those who are asking for asylum are saying ‘save me. I am dying.’ Even if there is a wall there has to be a mechanism to let these people be saved. That is what international law says,” Bayu told The Media Line.

Attorney Anat Ben-Dor, director of the Refugee Rights Clinic at Tel Aviv University, said that because of its history, Israel is obligated to extend its hand to help the refugees.

“I think Israel as a Jewish country has a heritage and maybe some sort of a duty, derived straight from Jewish values to provide sanctuary to people who flee persecution. And I would like this country to fulfill its role as a Jewish and as a democratic state and be a safe haven to people who suffer persecution,” Ben-Dor told The Media Line.

The flood of Africans began as a trickle in 2005 and were mainly refugees fleeing the war in Darfur, Sudan. The previous prime minister, Ehud Olmert, agreed after years of indecision to grant political asylum to about 500 refugees. But the government has been stingy ever since with only a few individuals being given asylum status despite over 20,000 requests.

Nestle Opens 5th Philippine Factory

AHN News Staff

Tanauan, Batangas, Philippines (AHN) – Nestle started construction of its fifth factory in the Philippines with groundbreaking rites Tuesday at a 27-hectare land in Tanauan, Batangas.

The food giant will invest $97.6 million (4.3 billion) in the next two years to finish the facility, which is expected to create more than a hundred jobs.

Philippine President Benigno Aquino III led the guests at the groundbreaking ceremony. He promised to provide all the support to businesses opening plants in the country to ensure smooth operations, long-term growth and economic development.

The facility, slated for completion in March 2012, will manufacture non-dairy creamers and powdered milk. It will directly create 170 new jobs, but is expected to create other employment opportunities for companies that will supply the upcoming plant with raw materials and services.

Nestle has four existing factories in Cagayan de Oro, Laguna, Batangas and Bulacan. Nestle Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Miller said the firm will continue to invest in these four facilities by bringing in new technology and equipment.

The new facility is in anticipation of a 19 percent increase in local demand for Nestle’s Bear Brand powdered milk and 18 percent hike for Coffee Mate non-dairy creamers. Miller said that within the next 10 years, Nestle may build two more plants in the Tanauan site.

Joint Venture Builds Eco-friendly Steel Facility

Sunday, September 19th, 2010
Jeehan Fernandez – AHN News Writer

Amory, MS, United States (AHN) – Steel Development Co. and Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corp. (Ansteel) fixed a joint venture operating agreement with partners from the United States, Italy, Japan, Germany and Canada to establish an ecologically-sound steel facility in Amory, Mississippi.

The partnership plans to put up a technologically advanced and environmentally friendly steel mill that will produce reinforcing bar and other bar products.

Under the agreement, Ansteel will invest and become a 14 percent partner of Steel Development. Ansteel will also become a member of Steel Development’s Board of Directors and will supply certain components of technology and equipment package.

The firms’ strategic plans are to build and operate four mills to produce reinforcing bar and other bar products used in infrastructure applications such as highways and bridges.

Another mill to be constructed will be capable of producing highly sought after electrical and silicon grades of steel used in energy applications such as windmills, electrical power generation and energy efficient cars.

Environmental and other necessary permits for Steel Development’s first bar mill are already in place. Early construction activity on the mill has already been completed, the company noted.

“With the partnership, Ansteel is directly helping create good high paying jobs which are a major focus of business community in the U.S. over the coming years,” John Correnti, Steel Development’s chairman and CEO, said in a statement.

Where to Get a Private Loan For a Student With Bad Credit

One of the best options to get a private loan for a student with bad credit is the loan sourced from federal funding. Visit Here http://credit-cash-loan.blogspot.com

This loan facility offered by the federal government is intended for the students who badly and are considered the neediest in a particular state. But for any student who will find it hard to get this loan is when he or she had a previous loan and had defaulted the loan granted to the borrower. This is when the bad credit factor is highly considered and would push the lender to strictly study the loan application if it is worth approving.

One way to easily get a federal private loan for a student with bad credit is by using his parents as guarantor for the said loan. Parents who have clean credit record are most likely given the best offer for a loan. But in this case, the parents are granted with the loan and not the student since this loan facility is intended for qualified parents.

But the federal funding for a private loan for them is much easier to process than any other loan offered in banks. The requirements would be lesser and won’t do much burden to the borrower.

In cases that the federal funding is not offered or if you are not qualified to get a federal loan for a student with a bad credit, the second best choice is look for a private company that offers this facility or the private loan for a student with this. It may charge higher interest rate than any available loan source, but the said loan will definitely help the student get through his schooling and be ensured of a high-paying job after graduation. This makes this loan facility an attractive option for borrowers.Visit Here http://credit-cash-loan.blogspot.com
