Es muss etwas geschehen, finden die Verantwortlichen vor Ort. Sie fühlen sich alleingelassen. read more

L’archipel espagnol connaît une brusque accélération de l’immigration provoquée par la crise liée au Covid-19 et par une surveillance accrue des entrées en Europe par la Méditerranée. La crise est centrée actuellement sur Arguineguin, un petit port de l’île de Grande Canarie, l’une des sept îles de l’archipel.

The trio, who have come to be known as the "El Hiblu 3", need your help to live their lives free of the threat of imprisonment.(...) “These three kids – they really are kids – all they wanted to do was help the captain speak to the people,” says Neil Falzon, the boys’ lawyer. “Three kids caught in the middle of this complex political, legal, commercial situation – they really are the scapegoats, and it’s the misfortune of the 16-year-old that he could speak English. It’s ridiculously unfair that they’re being picked on this way. They have their whole lives ahead of them, but they’re on hold because of the intense stress of this moment.” read more

2020 hatten die EU als großes Afrikajahr geplant. In Afrika ist der Frust über das aktuelle Verhältnis zu Europa groß. "Die Beziehungen zwischen Europa und Afrika waren niemals fair. Trotz Begriffen wie 'internationaler Zusammenarbeit' ist es ein ungleiches Verhältnis, bei dem Europa die Rolle des Mentors und Afrika die des Schülers einnimmt", sagt die nigerianische Forscherin Lynda Iroulo vom GIGA-Institut für Afrika-Studien. Migration ist ein zweiter Streitpunkt. Die EU drängt afrikanische Länder, ihre Grenzen besser zu sichern. Die Regierungen sollen verhindern, dass illegale Migranten nach Europa kommen. Wer mitmacht, bekommt Geld und Ausrüstung aus Europa. "Das europäische Migrationssystem ist von seiner Struktur und seiner Ausführung darauf ausgelegt, Afrikaner auszuschließen", kritisiert Iroulo im DW-Interview. read more
