    Default Estonia to build fence along Russian border

    Tallinn (AFP) - Estonia on Thursday said it would build a fence along its eastern border with Russia to safeguard its security and to protect the EU's passport-free Schengen zone.

    Interior ministry spokesman Toomas Viks said construction would begin in 2018.

    "The aim of the construction is to cover the land border with 100 percent, around-the-clock technical surveillance to create ideal conditions for border guarding and to ensure the security of Estonia and the Schengen area," he told AFP.

    The announcement comes as regional tensions are running high over the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

    The Baltic states have been rattled by Russia's actions in Ukraine, where pro-Moscow separatists have been fighting Kiev's forces since April 2014.

    Estonia, along with Latvia and Lithuania, emerged from nearly five decades of Soviet occupation in the early 1990s and joined NATO and the European Union in 2004 in a bid to boost their own security at a time of tension with Moscow.

    The plan to build a fence along Estonia's eastern border with Russia has been in the works since last year, Viks said.

    The 2.5-metre (eight-foot) high barbed-wire fence will span nearly 110 kilometres (70 miles) but will not cover the entire length of the border as marshland areas will be fence-free, according to Estonia's border guards.

    It will be completed by 2019, Viks said.

    "The information gathered by the technology can be used as evidence in cases of cross-border crime, be it illegal border crossing, smuggling (or) human trafficking," he told AFP.

    What do you mean by this? I don't think refugees travel to Estonia and then into Russia the same way refugees will try to get to Hungary and then take trains to Germany and beyond.

    Potentially.

    The thing about refugees is, as long as their countries remain shitty (ravaged by war, religious dogmatism and executions, etc) they will never stop coming. It's like a leaky pipe; you tape up one leak, but the pressure just rises and another weak spot springs a leak. The only thing we could possibly hope for for the future is for some heads of state to knock their heads overnight and wake up and realize they need to actually refuse entry to people/stop giving benefits to undocumented aliens/deport people squatting illegally. But I doubt it'll happen.

    Politics is always going to be a messy business one way or another. Especially when one's history in their own respective countries are built upon the exploitation of others that inadvertently effects other countries like the plague if one is not careful.
    “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

    - H.P. Lovecraft
