This week, we begin our web-review from the farthest places. First we’ll cover the hell on Manus Island, where Australia detained and then abandoned asylum seekers, and the underreported tragedy of the Rohingya, caught between ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and closing doors in Bangladesh. We then return to the humanitarian disasters near home: the consequences of externalising migration to Libya and the neverending emergency in Calais. Last, we look at the roles art, technology and cities are playing in helping refugees integrate.

Italy is actually paying Libyan people smugglers to slow down migrants, say the New York Times and the Washington Post.

The “deal with the devil” in Libya that doesn’t solve anything. Arrivals decreasing – until when? – while the probability of dying at sea gets higher. Closed borders that turn Northern Italy into a desolate waiting room for Europe. The Kafkaesque stories of denied justice in Sicily – from mistaken identities to smugglers becoming scapegoats for traffickers – and the terrible ones of young Nigerian women fallen victim to human trafficking. But also the overlooked genocide of the Rohingyas in Asia and the uncertain future of Daca in the United States. Lastly, a manual for a more informed debate about migration and a political map to understand how German parties – almost on the eve of elections – deal with the question of refugees.

The Mediterranean is a merciless sea. Meanwhile, Italy has a new (and awful) law on immigration and asylum, and the lies about Romanian crime are still being spread.

Three years after the tragic shipwreck off the coasts of Lampedusa, when 368 migrants lost their lives, Italy is marking the first National Day in Remembrance of Victims of Immigration. But one memorial day is certainly not enough to address the migrant emergency, and we need to come up with real answers to the humanitarian crisis. Also: the Baobab eviction, leaving hundreds of migrant adrift in Rome; the Hungarian referendum and the future of Europe; the sad plight of refugee children. This (and more) in our weekly web-review.
