Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard officers fired at a boat carrying Venezuelan migrants Saturday night, wounding a mother and killing the baby in her arms. The fatal shooting took place as officers tried to stop a boat crossing the Venezuelan border into Trinidad and Tobago, in what the island nation’s officials described as an act of self-defense, according to a Coast Guard statement. Only after the ship stopped did the Coast Guard realize there were migrants “hidden” on board, according to the statement. The wounded mother told her relatives that the captain of the boat wanted to turn back to Venezuela when he saw the Coast Guard, but the Guard followed them and started shooting at the engines. read more

More and more migrants are trying to enter France from Spain through the area bordering the Mediterranean, via the French village of Cerbère. Before 2021, the majority of new arrivals came via the Atlantic coast, towards Irun and Hendaye, in the Basque Country. To avoid police checks, deployed in large numbers in the area, the migrants take more risks and go through the dangerous railway tunnel. The majority of migrants who pass through the Vermeille coast are from Algeria. The Hirak Movement, the popular protest movement that started in February 2019, had revived the hopes of Algerian youth, plagued by a lack of work and prospects. But, more than two years later, their expectations have been disappointed. read more

France's president considers the EU's asylum and migration policy outdated. His goal: to return to genuine freedom of movement through better external controls. Macron suggested forming a so-called Schengen Council for this purpose. For exceptional situations at the external borders, such as the Belarus crisis, there must be mechanisms to send help to other countries at short notice. France also advocates closer cooperation between countries of origin and transit. Unwanted migration should thus be prevented and more repatriations carried out. read more
