Al Jazeera documents the apparently established practice of the Tunisian National Guard to expel black migrants and abandon them in the desert, which violates numerous international laws and human rights. Linked to this is the foreign policy of the EU, which has just entered into a questionable partnership with Tunisia. As part of this partnership, considerable EU funds have already been allocated to expand border protection, combat smuggling and ‘support the return of migrants’. read more

On Friday, the commission for hardship cases in Saxony will decide on the fate of Robert A., a 31-year-old stateless man who has lived in Germany since he was eight months old. His story illustrates the absurdity of Germany's current deportation policy: Robert risks deportation to Serbia, a country he has never seen and whose language he does not speak. In July, protests and the intervention of the Saxon Interior Minister stopped his deportation, but now his future is back in the hands of the Commission. read more

The English Channel remains a dangerous route for refugees trying to reach the UK from crisis zones such as Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea. Despite increased border measures thousands have made the sea crossing so far this year, probably with the help of human traffickers. Arrivals to the island are accompanied by growing xenophobia and racist protests. The article delves into the details of the migrants' lives as they wait to cross the Channel, giving them a voice through their testimonies. read more

In the Sudanese region of Darfur, the Rapid Support Forces RSF is involved in a brutal campaign of ethnic violence against black African civilians. Shocking videos show executions and large-scale massacres and emphasise the deep-rooted racism that underlies these atrocities. While Arab neighbourhoods are reportedly spared, African civilians are subjected to merciless killings, looting and assaults. In one case, an Arab leader declared: ‘This land is not for slaves’ before a tribal leader was murdered. read more

The refugee camp on the Greek island of Kos is a pilot project of the new European migration policy. However, the residents are facing ongoing challenges in terms of safety and prospects for the future, with concerns raised about human rights violations. These include inadequate care, homelessness and a bureaucratic system that creates a vicious circle of illegality. Even if an asylum application is approved, individuals remain stranded on the island without the necessary documentation. The self-proclaimed new European model thus seems to be an environment characterised by violence and a strategy designed to prevent people from exercising their rights. read more

At least four people have died trying to reach the Canary Islands by boat from Senegal, and others are missing.

A group of organisations has called on the German government to advocate for greater protection for refugees and humanitarian aid in the upcoming revision of the EU directive. They warn against the increasing criminalisation of migrants and aid workers. The appeal emphasises the need to bring the new directive into line with international human rights standards in order to ensure that humanitarian aid is not penalised and refugees are not unfairly criminalised. read more

Germany is introducing temporary internal border controls at all land borders from 16 September in order to curb irregular migration. The measures, which are initially limited to six months, are intended to stop immigration from neighbouring countries such as Austria and the Czech Republic. According to human rights organisations, these controls violate European law. read more

According to the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior, it has prevented more than 45,000 migrants from entering the EU so far this year. The North African country is used as a transit country to Europe due to the political and climatic emergency in the Sahel region. In the meantime, a significant proportion of the population has expressed a desire to leave the country in search of better economic opportunities. read more

Sudan's ongoing conflict has escalated with both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) acquiring foreign-made weapons, including armed drones and anti-tank missiles. The UN Security Council faces growing pressure to expand the current Darfur-only arms embargo to all of Sudan. New evidence shows that weapons from countries like China, Iran, and Russia have been used to commit war crimes, heightening the humanitarian crisis. read more
Despite the fact that control of Syria is shared between several actors (the Bashar Assad's regime, the extremist group Hayat Tahrir al Sham, the Turkish-occupied territories and the Kurdish self-defence forces), it is not possible to consider any region safe. A brief explanation of why Syria cannot be considered a safe country for deportations. read more

We have documented the racist campaign against sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia since February 2023 in detail on this page. These videos of thirsting and dying black people are unbearable. But not looking is the wrong solution. Just as we must not “endure cruel images”, as the German Minister of the Interior demanded in 2016. Back then, news reports and articles were a media staging with the aim of dismantling the “welcome culture”. Today, the cruel images are reality. read more

Since the beginning of the year, nearly 20,000 migrants, including women and children, have been arrested by Algerian security forces and deported to Niger across the Sahara border. This is the toll reported by the Alarme Phone Sahara network, which constantly observes the situation and denounces the inhumane nature of what they consider to be real deportations. read more
