TO GO WITH STORY BY SOPHIE DEVILLER A huge Turkish-Cypriot flag painted on the side of the Kyrenia mountain range which overlooks the divided city of Nicosia is seen in the background, as barbed wire marks the dividing "green line" 14 March 2004, on the Greek-Cypriot side of the capital. The "Green Line" which cuts Cyprus in two has become, since the island's entry into the EU in 2004, the least secure land border in Europe, a godsend for clandestine immigrants.

BEAUCAIRE, FRANCE - JANUARY 11: French Front National party president Marine Le Pen takes part in a Unity rally "Marche Republicaine" on January 11, 2015 in Beaucaire, France. The French far-right National Front (FN) held their own rally after being excluded from the Paris unity rally. An estimated one million people have converged in central Paris for the Unity March joining in solidarity with the 17 victims of this week's terrorist attacks in the country. French President Francois Hollande led the march and was joined by world leaders in a sign of unity. The terrorist atrocities started on Wednesday with the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12, and ended on Friday with sieges at a printing company in Dammartin en Goele and a Kosher supermarket in Paris with four hostages and three suspects being killed. A fourth suspect, Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, escaped and is wanted in connection with the murder of a policewoman. (Photo by Patrick Aventurier/Getty Images) We Are on the Verge of Darkness
