Last week's assaults on Hezbollah registered multiple successes. This may provide an opportunity to reach a smaller, narrower deal, writes Institute Executive Director Robert Satloff in Times of Israel. Here's more on how it can lead to calm along the #Israel-#Lebanon border. #middleeast #mideast #policy #foreignpolicy

Germany’s government announced temporary border controls at all of the country’s land borders yesterday in what it called an attempt to tackle irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism. The controls will start on September 16 and initially last for six months, the interior ministry said in a statement. #Europe #Germany #EU #schengen #bordercontrols #irregularmigration

The recent developments in Indo-Bangla cooperation on border security issues underscore the importance of collaborative efforts in this regard. According to Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud, the use of non-lethal weapons by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has resulted in fewer casualties at the border. This proactive approach prioritizes minimizing harm while maintaining security, ultimately contributing to a safer border environment. While challenges persist, such as recent incidents in Lalmonirhat and Naogaon, where Bangladeshi individuals were involved in altercations with the BSF, it's encouraging to see prompt dialogue and protest from the Border Guard of Bangladesh (BGB). These engagements are vital for addressing concerns and ensuring accountability on both sides. As highlighted by Lt Colonel Mofazzal Hossain Akhand, enhancing awareness among border communities about the risks of illegal border crossings is essential. Sustainable border security necessitates a comprehensive approach that combines effective enforcement measures with community engagement and cooperation. Moving forward, continued collaboration and dialogue between India and Bangladesh are imperative for achieving lasting peace and security along the border.

Read my latest article on Swedish Child Soldiers at Border Security Report (pp.10-13). In August the Danish Minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard warned that Denmark would put pressure on Sweden to contain cross-border gang violence. Particularly, it concerned armed Swedish teenagers acting as child soldiers in criminal turf wars. The Minister called it “a scary phenomenon” that Danish gangs are hiring young Swedes to do “their dirty work”. This is a first time we see that inability of one EU state to cope with its internal security issues forcing its neighbour state to reflect on border protection. It is easy to suggest that we might see more and more similar discussions in future. #crossborder #organisedcrime #danemark #sweden #borderprotection #bordersecurity #shengen #eu https://lnkd.in/ewrRSTHF

Many of us have been warning about the dangers of allowing undocumented immigrants who illegally enter Europe and then make their way to the country of their choice. The open borders policy is dangerous, it facilitates terrorism and allows organised crime to flourish. The countries of origin often pose a serious threat to the West and there are many who cross the borders into Europe have an ideology which despises Western culture. It’s fair to say that those who express their concerns are often referred to as racists, Islamophobes and a xenophobe. Germany has woken up to the issue, but only because of recent terror attacks and the fact that the population have shown their disgust in the ballot box. The German Interior Minster Nancy Faeser insisted the government was "taking a hard line" against irregular migration, and said the checks would reduce Islamist extremism and cross-border crime. "We are doing everything in our power to protect the people of our country against these threats," Why are they only now reacting to the obvious threats? What does this mean for Schengen? Governments need to listen to their people before another wave of extremism overtakes Europe. #terrorism #police #immigration

Dear Connections, You all can read my latest piece published in NIICE Nepal, in which I have argued why we need to see the recent border patrolling agreement with China with an element of "Caution". #Publicationalerts #IndiaChinaBorderdispute #IndiaChina Do give it a read and let me know all your thoughts!!

Starting next Monday, Schengen member Germany is reintroducing border checks at all of its nine land borders. While Schengen is based on the idea of free movement between states, temporary border checks can be reintroduced for a maximum of six months in exceptional circumstances. The new German border checks are intended to curb irregular migration and prevent terrorism. Yet the measures seem like a quick fix to restore the public feeling of security after a series of Islamist attacks. Created by Sebastian Graeff & Hanna Huld.

Planned or Just Incompetent? You decide: Here is an internal Border Patrol memo that directs them to release illegal immigrants from Eastern European nations directly into the United States, Tajikistan was one of them: https://lnkd.in/ePHEGwPY No additional vetting is to be done. Now, we hear that ISIS terrorists are coming into the United States from Tajikistan. This reinforces the argument that Biden, Majorkas and the entire DNC are continuing to damage US national security! The question now is this: Is this weakening of America intentional or is it purely incompetence? One thing is clear - We must remove this band of incompetents from having control of our borders and do it as soon as possible! The survival of America is at stake. One opinion. https://lnkd.in/e7TEfzbh Other Border News - 200K deportations tossed out of court because Biden administration refused to file the paperwork! https://lnkd.in/ejSuD34Q
