Italy and Germany step up measures to deter asylum seekers
Those who thought Europe’s refugee “crisis” was over were reminded this week that tens of thousands of refugees remain stranded in Greece and the Balkans. Images of refugee tents shrouded in snow on the Greek islands have sparked outrage about the lack of adequate shelter, and scorn has been poured on the Greek government for keeping refugees in such miserable conditions. But others have pointed out that the real culprits are EU and member state policies that have closed borders and shrugged off responsibility for a more equitable distribution of the refugees arriving on Europe’s southern shores.

È l’avvocata più famosa della Libia, vive tra il Canada e Tripoli, e si occupa da tempo di diritti umani in uno dei paesi più complicati del mondo. Ora #Azza_Maghur, insieme ad altri cinque connazionali, ex politici e giuristi, ha presentato un ricorso in tribunale contro il memorandum d’intesa tra Tripoli e Roma firmato lo scorso 2 febbraio dal presidente del consiglio italiano Paolo Gentiloni e dal premier del governo di unità nazionale libico (Gna) Fayez al Sarraj. L’accordo dovrebbe fermare il flusso di migranti che arrivano sulle coste italiane attraversando il mar Mediterraneo. Ma secondo Maghur, figlia di un ex ministro degli esteri e ambasciatore della Libia presso le Nazioni Unite, l’intesa è illegittima e incostituzionale.

L’accordo, firmato in presenza dei leader tuareg e del vicepresidente libico del Consiglio presidenziale (CP), riconosciuto dall’ONU, Abdelsalam Kajman, è stato giudicato una palese interferenza del nostro Paese negli affari interni dell’ex Jamahiriya. Chi ha partecipato ai colloqui in Italia non poteva rappresentare la comunità dei toubou, in quanto residente a Qatrun, un villaggio nel sud della Libia e loro non hanno partecipato agli scontri tra i toubou e gli awlad suleiman tra il 2011 e il 2015, che hanno avuto luogo a Obari, Sebha and Murzuk.

Lebanon Policy Leaves ‘Second-Class’ Syrians Vulnerable to Return: HRW
Lebanon’s residency fee waiver will be life-changing for many Syrian refugees. But, by excluding large numbers of people, the policy risks cementing a second tier of undocumented refugees vulnerable to being returned to Syria, warns Human Rights Watch’s Bassam Khawaja.

Syrian refugees squeezed out of livelihoods in Lebanon
After more than one million Syrians flooded into Lebanon to escape their country’s civil war, maintaining residency status has become difficult. Now both he and his business have been declared illegal. Earlier this month, the local government in Naameh issued a decree ordering businesses owned or operated by Syrians to close by the end of the month. The only acceptable work for Syrians, the text read, was in “agriculture, cleaning and construction”.
Reflections from Lebanon: Illegal Status, Syrian Refugee Children and Roles of NGOs
Recent developments in the laws, policies and practices in response to the mass influx of displaced persons have pushed over half of the 1.5 million displaced Syrians in Lebanon into illegality (LCRP 2017-2020). As children’s rights are interdependent, the absence of legal status directly affects the enjoyment and fulfilment of children’s fundamental rights (i.e. access to education, health care and an adequate standard of living) and their healthy development and future as a human being.
As a result, 70 per cent of over 1.5 million Syrian refugees are now living below the extreme poverty line and over half of them with illegal status (LCRP 2017-2020). In response, in order to meet their basic needs, many adopt coping mechanisms that can be harmful or put them at more risk, such as: returning to Syria (many face various risks inside Syria and when they re-enter Lebanon); paying high fees for brokers and forged documents; dependency on the sponsor(s) (kafeel) and/or broker(s) (shaweesh) to find a job and housing; and borrowing money (Lebanon Support, 2016).

Una nuova ricerca rivela che nel 2017 i rifugiati siriani in Libano sono diventati più poveri e vulnerabili
I rifugiati siriani in Libano sono più vulnerabili che mai, stando a quanto risulta da una nuova ricerca condotta da UNHCR, UNICEF e WFP, più della metà vivono in condizioni di estrema povertà e oltre tre quarti al di sotto della soglia di povertà. La crisi dura da sette anni e per i rifugiati siriani in Libano diventa sempre più difficile far fronte alle spese quotidiane, sono più dipendenti che mai dagli aiuti umanitari, aiuti che per il 2018 sono ancora molto incerti.

Debunking myths about why people migrate across the Mediterranean
As people on the move continue to make the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean, and as relations between the European Union and Turkey face imminent meltdown, fears that Europe is being “flooded” with desperate refugees and migrants seeking a better life continue to abound.

Une étude bouleverse les idées reçues sur les mineurs africains qui migrent en Europe
Selon le réseau Reach, la majorité des jeunes migrants ont pris leur décision seuls, pour fuir des violences et avec l’objectif initial de rejoindre un pays voisin.

Giulia Serio (Reach) : « La violence à la maison pousse les enfants » à émigrer
Près de 34 000 mineurs non accompagnés sont arrivés, l’an dernier, en Europe. Originaires du Proche-Orient et d’Afrique, ils sont prêts à tout pour quitter leur pays. Mais les motivations des uns et des autres varient d’un pays d’origine à l’autre. Une nouvelle étude tente de comprendre pourquoi des jeunes Africains aboutissent en Europe. Premier constat : c’est un peu par hasard. Parce que contrairement à ce qu’on peut croire, la plupart d’entre eux ne seraient pas déterminés à aller en Europe coûte que coûte. Au contraire, plus de la moitié se contenteraient de s’installer dans un autre pays africain que le leur. C’est l’une des conclusions de Reach, une coalition d’ONG qui se sont associées à l’Unicef pour interroger 750 adolescents africains après leur arrivée en Italie. L’une des auteurs de cette étude, Giulia Serio, répond aux questions de Michel Arseneault.

L’appel d’air des migrants n’existe pas. Leur contribution est bien réelle
« Des études sur l’hypothèse de l’appel d’air démontrent qu’il y a peu de lien entre l’ampleur des flux migratoires vers un pays et la ‘générosité’ de son système de protection sociale et de sa politique d’accueil. » C’est l’un des constats soulevés par le rapport « Penser une maison commune – migration et développement en Belgique » sorti aujourd’hui.

In a recent, damning report, the Women’s Refugee Commission—an independent think tank focusing on problems that affect displaced women—called for a dramatic boost to financial, material, and human resources to specifically safeguard female asylum-seekers trapped in Greece and to remedy “a policy of delay, discrimination and despair.” According to the WRC report, more than 50 percent of the refugees stranded in Greece are women, and they face unprecedented threats to their physical and mental well-being.
