'Refugees don't want refugees.'

The website of the municipality of Latium provides interesting information about the history of the area.

In brief, the current municipality used to be an estate during Ottoman rule, which was owned by the Aga, who eventually sold it to people who worked the land, many of whom came from Litrodontas. Sixteen Greek-Cypriots and one Turkish-Cypriot judge (kadi) acquired Latia, coming there in the fall to work the land and in the spring for the harvest. Initially, only six people lived there permanently. By the mid-nineteenth century, many owners began to settle permanently on the estate, although the population remained so small that children went to school in neighboring villages. After the Second World War, more and more''people chose Latium to live in, leading to a population of 1108 by 1973, concentrated on a relatively small plot of land. Following the Turkish invasion, three new neighborhoods were built and plots were allocated to refugees to live independently. Today the population exceeds 17,000, most of whom are refugees, similar to neighboring Jeri. People who have taken refuge here, or their children who were born in the settlements and are recognized as refugees on the paternal or maternal side, are resisting the resettlement of refugee children in the Latia Ieri area, echoing sentiments in Zigi, Germasoeia, Paliometoho and other areas considering accepting unaccompanied minors arriving in Cyprus.

Recently, there were also riots in Dublin. A man attacked passers-by with a knife, injuring five people, including three children. The incident caused such a serious disturbance that public transportation was suspended. The riot might not have started if it had not been for false information that the attacker was Algerian. Right-wing extremists, racists, fascists and hooligans began vandalizing and attacking, shouting "Deport them all." The attacker, later identified as an Irish national, was disarmed by a Brazilian refugee working as a courier. Police arrested dozens of rioters, calling them scandalous''right-wing hooligans.

The residents of Latsa, however, are not hooligans. Most of them are refugees who still have a refugee certificate. Something like this may have led them to think they are undesirable.
