    Nea Vyssa, Greece - A 12.5-km-long fence rolled with barbwire runs across plots of garlic and asparagus on the Greek-Turkish border.

    For the small farming community at Nea Vyssa, the presence of Greek military and police is a welcome relief from the mass of irregular migrants crossing from Turkey on a daily basis before the summer.

    “Sometimes a hundred or so would arrive in one day and wait for the train to come,” one local villager said.

    • Le mur est terminé alors que la migration a déjà changé de route... Depuis septembre 2012, en effet, les migrants ont recommancé à passer surtout par les îles de la Mer Egée.
      Voici le message reçu par une personne de contact dans la région de l’Evros :

      Only during the months of August and September 2012 there is a decline of almost 75% comparing to last year’s numbers. The “wall” and the new plan"Dias" from the Greek police are considered to be effective....The case is that we have an almost 700% (!) rise of illegal immigration through the Aegean Sea and and the sea borders.
