Italy's interior ministry says all migrants in the southern town of 
Riace, famous for welcoming them, must be transferred away.

The migrants will be moved to other migrant centres next week.

The move comes days after the arrest of the town's mayor, Domenico 
Lucano, over his alleged role organising "marriages of convenience" for 
immigration purposes.

He has been put under house arrest amid a national debate about 
integration.

His arrest follows months of tougher migration enforcement from Italy's 
populist government.

It's kinda Breaking News (BBC item is 9hrs old as a write)


I see very little reason to expect this 'transfer' to happen 
'peacefully'. If it turns (very) violent, Italy will have taken a next 
step in the developments described above and before re; 'Global Brazil'.

'Interesting Times' ...

Cheers all the same - for now
