• On apprend toujours des choses quand on lit les rapports #Frontex (mais mon dieu comme ils sont longs... ces gens à Varsovie, n’ont rien d’autre à faire?)

    By far the most commonly used method by irregular migrants in the Western Balkans is a simple crossing of green borders on foot and subsequent transport by car, taxi, van or regular bus lines. This option is cheap, usually does not require facilitators to be present during the crossings and information about optimal places to do the crossing is easily shared among would-be migrants (through the internet, Facebook and web-forums). (Frontex 2014: 27)

    –-> et la solution selon Frontex:

    Effective surveillance is probably the best tool to counter this method as clearly shown by footage from Albanian border with Montenegro. In one case alone, images of SMARTDEC* cameras installed at green border (railway) with Montenegro enabled Albanian Border Police to detect four migrants who were attempting illegal border-crossing

    (oho... Smartdec a détecté 4 migrants... yes! 4!!!)

    #SMARTDEC is an electronic border guard for perimeter surveillance in remote areas. Small, wireless, and easily camouflaged detectors that are equipped with a camera and long-lasting batteries. Cameras are linked to motion sensors that relay visual confirmation (semimotion video) in a matter of seconds. The cameras are programmed to only recognise human and vehicular infiltrations.

    Et voici le site où l’on parle de Smartdec:

    Et voilà une image tirée du rapport Frontex (p.28):

    • Dans ce rapport, d’ailleurs, Frontex parle de « #facilitator » et non pas de « #smuggler »... à vérifier si cela a toujours été le cas, ou si ils ont changé de vocabulaire en cours de route...

      Ah non, tiens tiens, quelques paragraphes après :

      The arrested person was only responsible for one leg of the journey. Serbian Police suspect that he was in fact hired by smugglers who are probably not on the territory of Serbia.

      les deux mots sont utilisés comme synonymes ? Ou alors c’est quoi la différence ?

    • Tiens tiens tiens, un nouveau mot apparaît « #organisers » :

      Collected intelligence by Serbian authorities indicated that organisers were often former non-European migrants staying in Bulgaria or Serbia or were Serbian nationals previously involved in smuggling of goods across the border. Communication between organisers and local facilitators was done using internet and disposable mobile phones.

      (p.29)

      Et on parle aussi de « #facilitation_services » :

      These cases would indicate that facilitation services are organised in stages, relatively inexpensive and often arranged by former migrants. Dismantling such #smuggling_organisations is therefore very difficult.

      (p.29)

      Et plus loin (facilitators are smuggling people...) —> p.32 :

      Along the route, the facilitators, who are involved in the smuggling of irregular migrants, are mainly from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Hungary, Pakistan and Serbia.
