The 10 Best Articles on Refugees and Migration 44/2017

November 7, 2017 - Open Migration

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.

While there is cause to celebrate the success of the Ero Straniero campaign (with its 85.000 signatures collected to change Italy’s migration policy), the general situation in the country is marked by daily instances of racist violence and abuse, amid the public’s indifference. Also: the hell of detention camps in Libya, the never-ending story of Calais, resignation syndrome in Sweden, refugees in limbo on Manus Island, the genocide of the Rohingya and the deaths of refugees as international crime. Last: an interactive map to learn about the arms trade in Europe and how it affects the “refugee crisis”.

In the face of an ongoing “crisis”, an “emergency” and a structural phenomenon, the responses are still inadequate despite time and money having been invested; from the burning issue of Libya (between the explosive conditions in the country and the failure of Italy’s dangerous strategy) to the discomforting situation in Italy (where a general election is about to affect policies and refugees die because of flaws in the system). As Italy sees its final chance to reform citizenship laws, the US are cracking down hard on refugees and migrants. Finally, we cannot be silent on the ignored genocide of the Rohingya. On a lighter note, we also cover recent films on migrant and refugees.

October 10, 2017 - Open Migration

The disastrous EU policies in Africa - in Libya and beyond - and the drama of deaths at sea and human rights violations at Italy’s borders. Also: the Rohingya ethnic cleansing in Myanmar, the crushed dreams of the Daca’s dreamers and the tragic fate of Afghan returnees. This and more in our weekly web-review.

Italy is actually paying Libyan people smugglers to slow down migrants, say the New York Times and the Washington Post. Also: citizenship laws, Germany and refugees after the election, the new Black Sea route (which does not warrant talks of an invasion in Romania), the first resettlements of refugees from the Australian detention islands, the tragedy of the Rohingya and Trump’s policy of fear against immigrants. This and more in our weekly web-review.

September 26, 2017 - Open Migration

Deaths at sea spike again as migration flows from Libya resume; it is imperative to reflect on the limited successes and high costs of migration policies based on deterrence and border closing, in Europe as well as overseas. Also: the concerns over the Black Sea route and why we need to talk about Myanmar’s ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya and the refugees from North Korea. This and more in our weekly web-review

The 10 Best Articles on Refugees and Migration 37/2017

September 19, 2017 - Open Migration

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.
