The new Dutch government, led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof and supported by right-wing and far-right parties, has presented an extremely restrictive immigration plan. Among the proposed measures are the declaration of a state of emergency to bypass parliament and the use of the opt-out, a clause that would allow the Netherlands to exclude itself from European immigration and asylum rules. The government wants to tighten border controls, restrict family reunification and speed up deportations. But human rights organisations have already raised concerns, fearing an increase in cases like that of Mikael Matosyan, an 11-year-old boy who risks deportation despite being born and raised in the Netherlands. read more

Two Malian farm workers were struck by a car while traveling to work in Puglia, Italy, resulting in the death of 28-year-old Tounkara Karamoko. The driver fled the scene, leaving Tounkara's friend severely injured. Both men lived in harsh conditions in the Mezzanone settlement, like many other migrant workers in the area. Unions have criticized the government's lack of action in providing safe housing and transportation for foreign laborers, calling for the proper use of funds allocated for improving their living conditions. read more

The journey for many Gambians seeking a better life in Europe is often perilous. Migrants endure years of hardship across the Sahara and, upon finally arriving in Europe, find themselves imprisoned in refugee camps. Facing brutal conditions, violence, and the loss of life, many, especially youths, continue to pursue their goal of a brighter future. Their journey often ends with deportation or the necessity to return home. Even after returning home, people experience mental health challenges, and some tragically take their own lives. Despite the dangers, many continue to risk everything, clinging to the goal of improving their families' lives, no matter the cost. read more

Despite increased security measures, hundreds of people managed to cross the fence before the police were able to bring the situation under control. The Moroccan authorities are investigating those responsible for these calls. read more

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

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

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
