There are currently around 2.6 million registered Afghan refugees around the world. They have fled Afghanistan for a variety of reasons, including persecution, conflict, economic hardship and climate-related displacement. Each person has a different reason, in many cases multiple reasons, for seeking safety. The EU is considering sending people back, but it is still not safe for Afghan refugees and asylum seekers to return home. read more

Die von der Stadtverwaltung Mytilene betriebene Aufnahmeeinrichtung für Geflüchtete in Kara Tepe wird voraussichtlich bis zum 30. April geschlossen. Dies folgt der Schließung der offenen Aufnahmeeinrichtungen von PIKPA in Mytilene und PIKPA in Leros im vergangenen Herbst. Es wird erwartet, dass bis zum Jahresende auch die verbleibenden Aufnahmeeinrichtungen (ESTIA-Wohnungen) auf Lesvos und Chios ihren Betrieb einstellen werden. Die Regierung hat diese Entscheidung inmitten der Pandemie getroffen, während Griechenland wiederholt Kritik an den Aufnahmebedingungen im provisorischen Aufnahme- und Identifizierungszentrum (RIC) von Mavrovouni auf Lesvos geübt hat. read more

Alarm Phone reports yet another massacre off the Libyan coast: We fear that up to 130 people have lost their lives. The people could have been rescued but all authorities knowingly left them to die at sea. Alarm Phone was in contact with this boat in distress over a period of ten hours, on 21 April, and repeatedly relayed its GPS position and the dire situation on board to European and Libyan authorities and the wider public. The only action undertaken was the launch of a surveillance airplane of Frontex, seven hours after the first alert, which found the boat and informed all authorities and merchant vessels in the area about the critical distress situation. Despite Frontex spotting the distressed boat from the sky, only non-state actors actively searched for the boat in distress at sea. European authorities rejected responsibility to coordinate this search operation and instead pointed at the Libyan authorities as the ‘competent’ authorities. read more
