The 10 Best Articles on Refugees and Migration 22/2017

June 6, 2017 - Open Migration
Death rates in the Mediterranean have almost doubled even as migrant crossings fall, since EU countries will do anything to push them back, disregarding international law and human rights while pointing the finger against humanitarian NGOs (who have gone from “angels of the sea” to “taxi cabs for migrants”).

May 30, 2017 - Open Migration
As politicians and the media keep discussing the baseless accusations against the NGOs in the Mediterranean, no one seems willing to talk about what is happening in Libya, between prisons for migrants and a Coast Guard that turns rescue missions into deportations (by shooting out at sea).

A large demonstration in Milan calling for fewer walls and more integration. Elsewhere in Italy, the reception system fell in the hands of criminal organisations (see the case of the hosting centre in Isola Capo Rizzuto); in Greece, it is on the verge of collapse following changes in the management of EU funding; in Turkey, we are witnessing a true humanitarian disaster (which Ankara would like to keep a secret) and Poland does not want asylum seekers at all. Finally: how the focus on refugees risks neglecting the internally displaced.

Migrants at sea: humanitarian NGOs are under attack, while the states are not taking accountability for tragedies (Italy stood and watched while 268 people drowned in the Mediterranean; Libya’s coastguard is becoming increasingly aggressive). Also, a voyage in the hotspots of the humanitarian emergency: the disastrous situation in Greece, the consequences of reinforcing borders in Melilla and the crisis of the reception system in Milan.

May 9, 2017 - Open Migration
The attacks on humanitarian NGOs saving lives out at sea (and the larger trend of criminalisation of solidarity) are taking attention away from real challenges and responsibilities. Also: letters from Greece, where thousands of asylum seekers are stranded in an inescapable limbo; Poland wants to replicate Hungary’s model of container camps for asylum seekers and Australia is adopting discriminatory policies in its resettlement effort, by according a preference to Christian refugees.

May 3, 2017 - Open Migration
What is behind the witch-hunt on the NGOs rescuing lives at sea? Why the attempt to dismantle solidarity through criminalisation in Europe? Also: the heartening stories of the “rebels” in the French valley fighting for the rights to take in migrants, and the successful experiment of humanitarian corridors in Italy. Last: the recurring, dangerous myth of one million African migrants ready to land in Europe…

April 25, 2017 - Open Migration
The controversy rages on over the NGOs saving lives at sea (while no one discusses the responsibility of Europe looking on), part of a larger trend of criminalising solidarity. The order in Ventimiglia prohibiting the distribution of food to migrants has been revoked following protests by civil society groups. Also: the continuing humanitarian emergency in Calais, Denmark’s reckless deportations to Afghanistan and the costs of EU policies for unaccompanied minors kept apart from their families.

April 19, 2017 - Open Migration
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. Also: French “rebels” taking in migrants and a useful village in Germany. Last: the failure of the EU relocation scheme and the consequences of growing up in a large refugee camp.
