Oscillating Frontiers

{11/02/2008} Once the first characteristics of the world chaos started to appear, the Portuguese wanted to be considered Angolan; the Jamaicans, Latin; the Chinese a new nationality or none at all; the Palestinians needed a new identity, out of which they could have the freedom to come and go as they pleased. Incidents with the Checks and the Iraqis tearing off their Passports where registered and many foreigners had to be placed in jails during legal actions not to be deported, demanding the right of free transit throughout all continents.

The welcoming of the African and Latin countries, which were invaded by the quite amicable new wave of planetary migration. Instead of getting excited into hatred and disputes, the people in general opened up to receive the “strangers” with a healthy euphoria. In the mean time, the old Europe countries that were still considered strong and “immune” would proceed to close up their borders even to their old allies. Intolerance and authoritative, dictated by a crooked nationalism were seen daily, thus provoking diplomatic incidents. {Chronicles 114}
