Externalization Conference Sahara: The Deadly EU External Border

Gatekeepers of the European Union: Sudan after El-Bashir

The El-Bashir regime in Sudan was one of the most willing helpers of the European Union. The revolution swept him away in April 2019. But the old actors are still in the background and brutally took power back in a military coup in October 2021. How did this impact refugees and migrants in the region?
