Vysné Nemecké (Slovaquie) - Nous sommes à la frontière, sur le territoire Slovaque. L'Ukraine est à 200 mètres derrière moi. C'est la distance que les réfugiés franchissent pour échapper à la guerre.
Des millions de personnes ont trouvé refuge dans les pays de l'Union européenne (U.E) depuis le début des hostilités. Mais quand j'y étais la semaine dernière avec mon ami Alain, dans le cadre d'une mission humanitaire, nous avons pu constater que la situation évolue aux frontières. Les Russes ayant concentré leurs forces militaires à l'Est de l'Ukraine, réduit significativement l'afflux des réfugiés. Certes, tous les jours, des Ukrainiens qui ont tout perdu, arrivent encore ; mais au compte-goutte.
Nous sommes loin des milliers de demandes d'asile quotidiennes à chaque poste frontière. Ce qui est logique puisqu'on estime à 5 millions le nombre d'ukrainiens ayant déjà fui leur pays. En tout cas, les gouvernements européens et les ONG ne baissent pas la garde et restent mobilisés pour aider ceux qui demandent aide et assistance.
Si aujourd'hui les combats se concentrent dans la région du Donbass limitant l'afflux des réfugiés aux frontières situées aux portes de l'Union européenne, la guerre est toujours effective, dévastant le pays et traumatisant ses habitants. Et la situation pourrait de nouveau basculer dans une guerre totale à tout moment.
Sur cette photo les réfugiés Ukrainien qui viennent de passer en Slovaquie s'apprêtent à prendre la navette qui va les conduire au camp de transit à une vingtaine de kilomètres. Là, s'ils le souhaitent, ils seront pris en charge par le gouvernement slovaque qui les aidera à rejoindre un pays d'accueil de leur choix.
Border crossing
Vysné Nemecké (Slovakia) - We are at the border, on Slovak territory. Ukraine is 200 meters behind me. A distance that refugees cover on foot to escape war.
Millions of people have sought refuge in European Union (E.U.) countries since the outbreak of hostilities. But when I was there with my friend Alain, as part of a humanitarian mission, we were able to see that the situation is changing at the borders of the European Union. The Russians having concentrated their military forces in eastern Ukraine, significantly reduced the influx of refugees. Certainly, every day, Ukrainians who have lost everything, still cross the border; but drop by drop.
We are far from the thousands of daily asylum applications at each border post. Which is logical since it is estimated that 5 million Ukrainians have already fled their country. In any case, European governments and NGOs are not letting their guard down and remain mobilized to help Ukrainians who request assistance.
If today the fighting is concentrated in the Donbass region, reducing the influx of refugees to the borders located in western Ukraine, the war “is still active, devastating the country and traumatizing its inhabitants. And the situation could again tip into an all-out war at any moment.
In this photo the Ukrainian refugees who have just arrived in Slovakia are preparing to take the shuttle which will take them to the transit camp about twenty kilometers away. There, if they wish, they will be taken care of by the Slovak government which will help them reach a host country of their choice.

Taken the morning after Hurricane Gonzalo hit the island of St. Martin. 06.36 14-10-2014. As we arrived at the beach, nearly all of the beach bars had been destroyed. Pretty soon the "heavens opened up" but my Trusty D300 survived thank goodness.
Recently re-seen in one of my hard drives.
An east-bound Wolverine is accelerating back up to track speed upon regaining home rails after traversing the joint Amtrak-CN trackage through Battle Creek. In the distance is Post Cereal, one of two large cereal plants here in "Cereal City".
