Central America scrambles as international community fails to find migration solution_我的网站

一 |     PASO CANOAS, Costa Rica -- The fleet of buses roared past the Panama-Costa Rica border.Hundreds of Venezuelan, Haitian and Ecuadorian migrants pressed their faces to the windows as they looked out onto a sign that read “Welcome to Costa Rica.” But few of them will see more of the country than the winding roads through foggy glass.That's because last week Costa Rica and Panama announced that, amid a historic crush of people headed to the United States, thousands of migrants a day would be bussed from the jungle-clad Darien Gap through their territories to the Nicaraguan border.The move is the latest patchwork solution by governments in Central America that often have appeared more concerned with lessening the impact on their own nations than complying with pressure from the Biden administration to keep migration levels in check. Regional leaders will seek longer term solutions at a migration summit in Mexico on Sunday.For many undertaking the dangerous journey north, like María Angelys, a 30-year-old Venezuelan traveling with her 2-year-old daughter, the bus program sent a clear message: You’re not welcome.“There are tons of Venezuelans everywhere, and the reality is that they don’t want us here,” said Angelys, waiting in a Costa Rican detention facility for a bus. Angelys, who left Venezuela in October due to the economic crisis in her country, said she had hoped to rest after trekking days through the rugged jungle dividing Colombia and Panama. But conditions in Costa Rica's migrant camp were so bad she wanted to continue on as fast as possible.Angelys and her daughter are among more than 420,000 migrants to cross the Darien Gap this year. They wind their way through Central America and Mexico to the U.S.-Mexico border, where U.S. authorities say they’ve stopped migrants more than 1.8 million times in the first 11 months of this fiscal year.The volume even prompted the Costa Rican government to declare a state of emergency in late September. It was a drastic step in a country long known for its open asylum laws and hospitality.“We don’t have the capacity to take on this flow of people,” Jorge Rodríguez, the vice minister to the president, said. “Aid has been generous, but it’s not enough.”Buses pick migrants up from camps in eastern Panama, and transport between 1,500 and 2,000 people a day across Costa Rica's border. They’re dropped off in cramped detention facilities where most sleep on green army cots, bunk beds, cardboard or in tents on the ground where some say liquid from portable toilets leaks.Migrants are not permitted to leave the fenced-off buildings, once a factory, until they buy a bus ticket. A number of migrants told The Associated Press on Monday that they hadn’t eaten since the weekend. Most migrants buy their own bus tickets, paying $30 per person.“You’re Costa Rica and you have a hundred thousand Venezuelan, Chinese, Indians and Ecuadorians in your territory. What do you do? You can’t afford to send them back. This is the least bad option for them,” Adam Isacson, an analyst tracking migration for the Washington Office on Latin America said.It “keeps the migration out of sight, out of mind,” he added, but passes the problem along to the next country.Rodríguez, the vice minister, said while camps “don’t have the best conditions,” it is still better than before when migrants slept on the street. The government is working to address the situation, he said, but still needs training for aid staff, as well as donations of food, beds and vaccines to stop the spread of disease.Angelys, the Venezuelan mother, was among dozens of people waiting in line at Western Union inside the facility for hours for a transfer of $200 from her husband in Chicago to buy bus tickets. She cradled her daughter as other children played and slept on the ground nearby."On one hand, I see it as really good, you get out of the country quickly," she said. “The objective is the United States, no? Not to stay here. But there are many more that don't have the money."Others like 25-year-old Venezuelan migrant Ebrard Sánchez spent his last $120 paying for the government-organized buses from Panama to Costa Rica. The ride was a welcome respite for his wife and 7-year-old son after being robbed in the jungle.Without anyone to transfer the $90 they needed to board the bus to the Nicaragua border, the family had been in the migrant camp for five days waiting for one of the few bus trips donated by companies or aid groups.Sánchez said they would have never climbed aboard if they had known they wouldn't be able to leave the facility."We honestly feel as if we were in prison,” he said. “All we want to do is work, and everyone is closing their doors on us.”Despite two officials and a dozen migrants in the camp telling the AP that migrants are not allowed to leave the camp, Rodríguez, the vice minister, said migrants are not prohibited from exiting, but that doing so would be illegal due to their migratory status.Other countries on the path north — which have long been the source of migration — have scrambled to cope in different ways.In Nicaragua, migration has seen little control, and by most accounts is speedy.Daniel Cano, a 27-year-old Venezuelan who had made it to southern Honduras with his wife and dog, said they crossed Nicaragua in 13 hours without problems. Other migrants who recently crossed Nicaragua said authorities made them get on buses that delivered them directly to the Honduran border.Honduras offers its own host of problems. Migrants can move freely, unlike in Costa Rica, but they lack basic sanitation and are living in deplorable conditions.Denilson Borges, coordinator for Doctors without Borders in the Honduran city of Danli, said the number of migrants crossing Honduras has created a health emergency. Doctors are treating everything from respiratory infections to injuries from violent attacks. Last month, Honduras President Xiomara Castro called it “a humanitarian crisis” requiring a regional response.Honduran immigration officials issue on average 4,000 five-day transit permits to arriving migrants each day in the southern cities of Danli and Trojes.Tents occupy any scrap of greenspace in Danli. At one park, 48-year-old Suhail Briceño rested in her family’s small tent squeezed alongside some two dozen others. Black plastic sheeting was spread over it against frequent rain showers. There were no public toilets.The Venezuelan, struggling with stomach problems, had been living there for two weeks with her husband and other relatives waiting for her son to wire them money to continue moving north. The U.S. government wants countries like Costa Rica and Honduras to manage the flow while trying to deal with the thousands crossing their borders. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian Nichols told media earlier this month that while such countries are doing a lot “they need to step up and do more.”The moves by Costa Rica and Panama come after weeks of pleading for more international aid to cope with migration.Without ready solutions, leaders from sending countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti, along with Central American transit countries, will meet in Mexico on Sunday to discuss migration and what's pushing people to flee their countries. Biden and other leaders have long touted tackling the roots of migration — corruption, violence and economic crisis — but so far results are limited. “We have an international community that is in denial on how to deal with Venezuela, how to deal with Haiti, how to deal with Nicaragua," said Manuel Orozco, director of the migration, remittances and development program at the Inter-American Dialogue. "And these (transit) countries are the ones facing the consequences.”___Associated Press writers Marlon González in Danli, Honduras and Elliot Spagat in San Diego contributed to this report.。    今年第15号台风“灿鸿”于5日14时在西北太平洋洋面上生成，与第13号台风“白海豚”、第14号台风“鲸鱼”形成“三台共舞”的格局，其中需重点关注的是“白海豚”。据浙江省气象台消息，“白海豚”昨天14时中心位于温岭东南方向约1150公里的洋面上，当前为强台风级，中心附近最大风力14级。该台风具有生成源地东、环流尺度大、生命周期长、强度多变的特点，预计将以每小时15公里至20公里的速度向西偏北方向移动，强度变化不大，今天下午台风中心将移入东海。当前环流形势复杂，多台风相互作用，台风进入东海后副热带高压减弱断裂，引导气流减弱、移速变慢，“白海豚”未来路径仍存在较大不确定性。从目前分析看，“白海豚”较大可能于9日下午至10日在浙江沿海登陆，登陆时为台风级或强台风级，同时也不排除在浙江近海转向、穿过舟山群岛北上的可能性。省气象台专家表示，目前来看，受台风影响，此次我省降雨时间会较长，主要集中在8日至11日，累计雨量大，单点降雨极端性强。

二 | 此外需重点防范大风天气，预计东海海域及沿海海面10级以上大风将持续60小时以上。

三 | 综合天气研判，“白海豚”较大可能正面登陆我省，影响时间长、风雨强度大，综合致灾风险较高，相关部门需加强回港避风船只管控、滨海设施防风加固工作，同时防范强降雨可能引发的山洪、地质灾害、中小河流洪水等次生灾害，降低其对城市运行、交通运输、农业生产等的不利影响。请市民持续关注气象部门发布的最新预报预警信息，合理安排生产生活。钱塘快评从最坏处着眼 做最充分准备评论员 陈凌当前正值“七下八上”防汛关键期，今年第13号台风“白海豚”正步步逼近，可能对我市造成较大影响，防汛防台形势严峻。近日，习近平总书记对防汛救灾工作作出重要指示，强调要落实落细各项防汛措施，全力保障人民群众生命财产安全和社会大局稳定。

四 | 每次台风来袭，既是对城市治理的考验，也是对党员干部底线思维与责任担当的考验。上个月，我市坚持“从最坏处着眼、顶格防御、打足提前量”，科学防御了今年第9号台风“巴威”，积累了防汛防台宝贵经验，切实守护了人民群众生命财产安全。当前，全市上下更要保持清醒头脑，以最迅速行动，做最充分准备，坚决打赢防汛防台硬仗。从最坏处着眼，是种清醒的极限思维。据气象学家分析，今年以来，太平洋上持续增强的厄尔尼诺气候现象，或将成为150年来最强的一次。截至目前，台风“白海豚”已奔袭10余天、行程约5000公里，历史罕见。

五 | 这意味着，其未来的走向、强度、雨量、风圈都可能超出常规预判，不能简单套用现有经验。我们宁可把形势想得更严峻一些，把情况预计得更复杂一些，也绝不能有一丝一毫的侥幸懈怠。做最充分准备，是种扎实的底线思维。

六 | 居安思危，思则有备，有备无患。面对严峻形势，全市党员干部要按照台风正面登陆、特大暴雨、长时间影响等极端情况来做好最充分的准备，落实“沉下去、转到位、停下来、调控好、管得牢、氛围浓”等要求，做到严阵以待、闻令而动。同时，广大市民也要增强防灾避险意识，密切关注台风预警信息，主动配合转移避险，减少非必要外出，共同筑牢群防群治防线。未雨绸缪，事预则立。

七 | 当前，全市上下要抢抓台风登陆前的关键窗口期，打足提前量，把各项防御工作抢在风前、雨前、灾前。要打足隐患排查提前量，对山塘水库、地下空间等重点部位再排查、再加固，确保不留死角。要打足转移避险提前量，落实“谁来转、转到哪、何时转”等细节，确保应转尽转、不落一人。

八 | 要打足应急抢险提前量，将应急力量、物资预置到关键点位，确保拉得出、顶得上、打得赢。风雨欲来，考验在即。让我们立即行动起来，从最坏处着眼，做最充分准备，把“时时放心不下”的责任感，转化为“事事心中有底”的行动力，全面做好防汛防台工作，切实守护人民群众生命财产安全。
