The English Channel remains a dangerous route for refugees trying to reach the UK from crisis zones such as Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea. Despite increased border measures thousands have made the sea crossing so far this year, probably with the help of human traffickers. Arrivals to the island are accompanied by growing xenophobia and racist protests. The article delves into the details of the migrants' lives as they wait to cross the Channel, giving them a voice through their testimonies. 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.

Sudan's ongoing conflict has escalated with both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) acquiring foreign-made weapons, including armed drones and anti-tank missiles. The UN Security Council faces growing pressure to expand the current Darfur-only arms embargo to all of Sudan. New evidence shows that weapons from countries like China, Iran, and Russia have been used to commit war crimes, heightening the humanitarian crisis. read more

We have documented the racist campaign against sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia since February 2023 in detail on this page. These videos of thirsting and dying black people are unbearable. But not looking is the wrong solution. Just as we must not “endure cruel images”, as the German Minister of the Interior demanded in 2016. Back then, news reports and articles were a media staging with the aim of dismantling the “welcome culture”. Today, the cruel images are reality. read more
