On the eve of the demolition of the Calais "Jungle" camp, French officials on Sunday handed out flyers in several languages notifying migrants of the camp's imminent closure and urging them to abandon their dreams of reaching Britain.
Less than 24 hours before the operation to raze the squalid settlement near Calais port was due to start some migrants, however, were still clinging to hopes of a new life across the Channel.
"We have yet to convince some people to accept accommodation and give up their dream of Britain. That's the hardest part," Didier Leschi, head of the French immigration office OFII told AFP.
Some Afghans have vowed not to budge -- or to make their own way back to Calais from the regional shelter to which they are sent.
