In Niger, people on the move are protesting peacefully for 365+ days for the protection of their rights. Many were pushed back illegally and are now stuck in inhumane and EU-funded camps. @unhcr.org –an EU-externalization ally– does not help. Read more: @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social's Book of Shame!

It's the same playbook everywhere. Righteous anger against the difficulties of living being redirected by the political classes and their backers towards those who find it hardest to defend themselves. It's ideal for cowards as it requires great courage and personal risk to take on the powerful.

As the head of the Libyan Refugees NGO notes, the terrible situation for people there (and in Tunisia) gets precious little attention.

I’m deeply disappointed that there’s no outrage or news coverage about the violent xenophobic attacks happening in Libya. Black African “migrants” are being looted and beaten to death, with many being driven out of sight and into concentration camps for extortion.

🆘 Distress Call from Benghazi ⚠️

Two days ago, we received an SOS message from a group of women and children allegedly held in an EU-linked detention camp in Benghazi, Libya. Most of them are Eritrean. They reported daily rape and sexual violence, starvation, torture, and ransom demands.

We did what refugees are never supposed to do: we wrote a book that names and criticises the humanitarian agency that is meant to be our “saviours”

For years, they wrote about us. Reports, statistics, projects. Now we have written about them—about UNHCR, IOM, and the EU…..

Malta Migration Archive Countermapping Migration at Sea

You are invited to have a look at the archive, which I find useful—and, in a way, a form of justice for many.

As it happens to me that many found this poetic, I will share it with the rest of you. I presented this text in Malta two days ago at the launch of the Malta Migration Archive @maltamigrationarchive.org , held at the University of Malta. I had no fancy speech to give, so I left this behind.

Flüchtlingslager in Libyen: Kann dieser Mann das Leid stoppen? In Libyen werden Flüchtlinge gequält und ausgebeutet – vor den Augen der EU-Politik. David Yambio, selbst ein Folteropfer, will die Verbrechen vor Gericht bringen.

„Ich will Gerechtigkeit.”

Was in #Libyen passiert, ist längst bekannt. Auch #Europa​s Rolle dabei ist kein Geheimnis: Menschen werden in den libyschen Haftzentren systematisch gequält und ausgebeutet.

@davidyambio.bsky.social, will die Verbrechen vor Gericht bringen.

To speak about the referendum in Italy today is to speak of what the maniacs call a “defeat”.

In our world, defeat is not accepted, not this kind but it is recognised.

Thanking every Italian who could mirror our world to themselves and made a just vote.

The 🌍 needs you.

After rescuing 112 people, our ship NADIR is arbitrarily detained in Lampedusa.
The accusations are baseless.
We followed all laws.

This is not about law – it’s about political calculation.

We demand the immediate release of #NADIR

Dear Italian brothers and sisters,

Since I cannot vote, and since your vote holds the power to secure rights for many who live in this country without them, I invite you to read my short letter.

The referendum day is on the horizon and I do hope that fear will not be the author of your vote.

The four refugees who just jumped into the sea to escape the LCG join dozens of similar cases we’ve brought in FM v. Frontex before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social How many more victims must be forcibly pulled back by Frontex and Libyan militias before the Court acts with urgency?
