When multiple fires destroyed Europe’s notorious refugee camp, it became apparent that more than 3,000 asylum seekers were missing already. While authorities remain silent regarding their whereabouts, we met some of them. We witnessed them living in limbo, working under exploitation, and being victims of brutal attacks; crossing borders to reach the “European dream” or failing to do so. We also delved into the government’s practices of fabricating the numbers. read more

Genf. Mitte dieses Jahres waren mehr Menschen auf der ganzen Welt aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben als je zuvor. Es dürften mehr als 80 Millionen gewesen sein, schätzt das UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk (UNHCR). Die 80-Millionen-Marke sei gebrochen worden, obwohl wegen der Corona-Pandemie im April 168 Länder weltweit ihre Grenzen ganz oder teilweise geschlossen hatten, auch für Asylsuchende, wie das UNHCR am Mittwoch in Genf berichtete. read more

The text has not been made public, according to French news agency AFP. However, according to information obtained by that agency, it is thought that ultimately the aim would be to allow French judges the possibility of ordering returns on the basis of placement decisions made by Moroccan judges. Last month, French authorities threatened to reduce the number of visas granted to citizens of countries, especially northwest African nations, reluctant to take back their undocumented nationals, particularly those placed on radicalization watch lists. read more

Angela und Sandra wollten in Griechenland einen Asylantrag stellen, wie es ihr Recht ist. Doch zu einer Anhörung kam es nicht. Stattdessen wurden sie illegalerweise auf dem Meer ausgesetzt. Zusammen mit sechzehn anderen Schutzsuchenden, darunter laut den Geflüchteten Minderjährige und mehrere schwangere Frauen, wurden die beiden auf zwei kleinen aufblasbaren Rettungsflößen zurückgelassen. Mitten in der Nacht, mitten auf dem Meer, ohne Chance, aus eigener Kraft die Küste zu erreichen. read more

Like many compatriots, Abdou Diakaté didn’t feel he had much choice when he boarded a long, wooden boat on the Senegalese coast in October with around 100 others and set off into the Atlantic Ocean. The boat was heading for the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off West Africa that has seen a surge in migration this year. read more

Sur les 11 premiers mois de l'année, environ 1 000 personnes ont perdu la vie en tentant de traverser la Méditerranée sur des embarcations de fortune. Un chiffre qui pourrait augmenter au cours du mois de décembre, la plupart des navires humanitaires sillonnant la zone de détresse au large de la Libye étant actuellement immobilisés. read more

Ja, sie kommen, wenn die große Katastrophe passiert. Aber für die ganzen alltäglichen Katastrophen, die die Menschen hier wirklich kaputtmachen, dafür ist wenig Interesse da. Und ja, es ist natürlich die Wiederholung des Gleichen, das will niemand mehr hören. Aber ich glaube, auch das ist ein Teil, ob bewusst oder unbewusst, der Migrations- und Asylpolitik: Dass sich die Berichterstattung darüber erschöpft. read more

The refugees we spoke to reported that the cold and humidity in their tents, especially during the night, are unbearable as they have not been given enough blankets and warm clothes. “My main problem is the cold. I try to get dressed as warm as I can in order not to feel the cold. Before the lockdown, some organisations distributed clothes. Trousers, shoes, but all of them were for summer. After the lockdown, they did not distribute again, and we do not have clothes for winter”, says Fatiha from Syria. Saeb, a victim of torture from Afghanistan, underlines: “There are not enough blankets. We do not know how we will go through this winter… What breaks our heart is that we do not have humane conditions, they perceive us as animals”. read more

"Bis jetzt haben wir noch keine Dokumente gefunden, die eine Gesetzesverletzung belegen würden", twitterte die EU-Agentur Frontex vor einigen Wochen, nachdem Spiegel, ARD und Bellingcat Belege dafür veröffentlicht hatten, dass Frontex an illegalen Pushbacks an der EU-Außengrenze beteiligt ist. Offenbar musste die Behörde aktiv wegschauen, um nichts zu finden: Hätte sie einfach die Videos der Veröffentlichungen analysiert, wäre ihr aufgefallen, dass die EU an ihren Außengrenzen Menschenrechtsverletzungen nicht nur duldet, sondern selbst daran mitwirkt. read more
