• Un outil d’alerte du traffic maritime russe

    MartimAlarm

    http://maritimalarm.no

    Ce site surveille l’activité des navires civils russes qui longent la Norvège, pour détecter les toujours possibles menaces sur les infrastructures norvégiennes. Le site inclut aussi les navires appartenant à la « flotte fantôme ». La position des navires est affiché en temps réel.

    Une alerte est déclenchée si un navire :

    – ... Se trouve à moins de 1 mille marin d’une infrastructure pendant plus d’une heure.

    – ... Cesse de transmettre des données AIS pendant plus d’une heure.

    – ... Navigue à une vitesse de 2 à 5 nœuds pendant plus de 30 minutes.

    Ces critères peuvent être ajustés.

    NB : La carte ne montre que les navires situés dans la portée des récepteurs AIS et exclut les navires au mouillage ou à quai.

    Toutes les données AIS proviennent de l’Administration côtière norvégienne (Kystverket) et sont obtenues via l’API de Barentswatch.no.

      “... A Ford patent filed in July proposed technology that would enable vehicles to monitor the speed of nearby cars, photograph them and send the information to police. The idea sparked a backlash from privacy #advocates. It is still pending review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

      That application pointed to how hard it is for police to pinpoint speeding cars and said “it is desirable to provide systems and methods that assist #traffic #police and/or other law enforcement officers [to] perform such tasks.”

      Ford quietly walked away from another controversial patent application last October after a firestorm of #criticism for its plans for a system that would commandeer vehicles whose owners were late to pay and allow them to repossess themselves.

      That patent application said that the technology would allow self-driving cars to automatically head to repossession lots while standard #vehicle lenders would be able to permanently lock cars and cripple steering wheels, brakes and air conditioning in order to pressure delinquent #drivers to pay. ...”

  • Bots account for half of all web traffic
    https://betanews.com/2024/04/16/bots-account-for-half-of-all-web-traffic

    A new report from Imperva finds that 49.6 percent of all internet traffic came from bots in 2023, a two percent increase over the previous year, and the highest level since the company began monitoring automated traffic in 2013.

    The proportion of web traffic associated with bad bots grew to 32 percent in 2023, up from 30.2 percent in 2022, while traffic from human users decreased to 50.4 percent. Automated traffic is costing organizations billions of dollars annually due to attacks on websites, APIs, and applications.

  • Le « rêve américain » des Indiens, de plus en plus nombreux à migrer illégalement vers les Etats-Unis

    Le « rêve américain » des Indiens, de plus en plus nombreux à migrer illégalement vers les Etats-Unis
    Par Carole Dieterich (New Delhi, correspondance)
    L’affaire se poursuit désormais en Inde. Après avoir passé cinq jours bloqués à l’aéroport de Vatry, dans la Marne, en raison de soupçons d’immigration clandestine, les passagers indiens du vol Legend Airlines ont commencé à être interrogés par la police locale des différents Etats dont ils sont originaires, principalement du Gujarat et du Pendjab. L’A340 de la petite compagnie aérienne roumaine, avec quelque 300 Indiens à son bord, avait été cloué au sol le 21 décembre par les autorités françaises. L’avion ne devait initialement effectuer qu’une escale technique, le temps de faire le plein sur son trajet reliant les Emirats arabes unis au Nicaragua. Il a finalement été renvoyé vers Bombay, où il a atterri mardi 26 décembre. Vingt-cinq passagers, dont cinq mineurs, sont restés en France, où ils ont demandé l’asile.
    Selon les premiers éléments dévoilés par la police du Gujarat, les passagers restés bloqués à Paris avaient pour projet de se rendre au Mexique via le Nicaragua, afin de traverser ensuite la frontière illégalement vers les Etats-Unis. Ils auraient versé des sommes allant de 43 500 euros à 130 500 euros à des passeurs. Ces routes de l’immigration illégale sont bien connues en Inde. On les surnomme les « donkey routes » du terme pendjabi dunki, qui signifie « passer d’un endroit à un autre ». Pour les aspirants à l’expatriation, la méthode consiste à obtenir un titre de séjour dans un pays proche des Etats-Unis ou encore du Royaume-Uni, pour lequel il est plus facile d’obtenir un visa, avant de rejoindre la terre convoitée.
    L’incident met en lumière l’augmentation spectaculaire de l’immigration illégale indienne vers les Etats-Unis au cours des cinq dernières années. En 2021, ils étaient quelque 725 000 Indiens en situation irrégulière aux Etats-Unis, selon une estimation du Pew Research Center. Un chiffre qui n’a cessé d’augmenter depuis 2017. Les Indiens sont le troisième plus important groupe de migrants illégaux aux Etats-Unis, derrière les Mexicains et les Salvadoriens. Le nombre de migrants indiens tentant de traverser l’une des frontières des Etats-Unis a été multiplié par plus de 10 depuis 2019. Le service des douanes et de la protection des frontières américain aurait recensé 96 917 migrants illégaux indiens en 2022-2023, contre 8 027 en 2018-2019. La majorité tente le passage à partir de la frontière sud, depuis le Mexique.
    Plusieurs drames ont ébranlé l’opinion publique indienne ces dernières années. Au mois d’avril 2023, une famille du Gujarat a été retrouvée morte noyée dans le Saint-Laurent. Avec un visa de tourisme au Canada, les parents accompagnés de leurs deux enfants auraient tenté de se rendre aux Etats-Unis illégalement en traversant le fleuve. En janvier 2022, une autre famille du même Etat est morte de froid à quelques mètres de la frontière. Et, en 2019, une fillette de 6 ans originaire du Pendjab avait été retrouvée morte dans le désert de l’Arizona.
    Ces départs massifs de la jeunesse pour un avenir incertain à l’étranger interrogent. L’Inde, géant de 1,4 milliard d’habitants, se vante d’être l’une des économies les plus dynamiques au monde. En dépit de son taux de croissance insolent (7,2 % en 2022), le pays ne parvient pas à créer suffisamment d’emplois pour les quelque 10 millions de nouveaux travailleurs qui entrent chaque année sur le marché du travail. « Le fait que les Indiens soient prêts à prendre des risques et à subir d’énormes difficultés pour finalement devenir des immigrants illégaux aux Etats-Unis suggère qu’ils le font soit en désespoir de cause, soit car ils sont induits en erreur », estime The Hindu dans un éditorial daté du 29 décembre.
    Le Royaume-Uni a également assisté à une recrudescence de l’immigration illégale en provenance de l’Inde. Entre janvier et mars 2023, environ 670 Indiens sont arrivés sur les côtes anglaises à bord de bateaux de fortune. Jamais le pays n’en avait enregistré autant, selon les chiffres du ministère de l’intérieur britannique. En 2022, Frontex a également recensé plus de 7 000 clandestins indiens aux frontières de l’Union européenne, contre quelques centaines les années précédentes.
    Cette immigration illégale contraste avec les « success stories » indiennes, incarnées par les grands PDG de la Silicon Valley comme Sundar Pichai, à la tête d’Alphabet, la maison mère de Google, ou encore Satya Nadella, qui dirige Microsoft. Les Indiens font figure de « migrants modèles » aux Etats-Unis. Ils sont les principaux bénéficiaires des visas H-1B pour les travailleurs étrangers hautement qualifiés et représentaient 74 % des dossiers approuvés au cours de l’exercice 2021, selon le Migration Policy Institute.

    « Les migrants qualifiés empruntent les voies légales, quant aux candidats à l’immigration illégale, ce sont généralement des hommes peu éduqués mais avec un peu de capital, souvent issus du milieu agricole et qui souhaitent s’en extraire », estime Sugandha Nagpal, professeure à l’université Jindal, dans la banlieue de New Delhi. Beaucoup viennent du Pendjab, du Gujarat, ancien fief du premier ministre Narendra Modi pourtant présenté par ce dernier comme un modèle de réussite économique, ou encore de l’Haryana. « La voie illégale a été complètement normalisée car beaucoup ont des amis ou des proches l’ayant empruntée avant eux et cela n’est pas vu comme un problème », poursuit Mme Nagpal, spécialiste des migrations.
    Le phénomène est tel que la culture populaire s’en empare. Un film de Bollywood, Dunki, mettant en scène le demi-dieu du cinéma Shahrukh Khan, est actuellement à l’affiche et relate l’histoire de quatre Pendjabis d’origine modeste qui souhaitent migrer à Londres. Sur les réseaux sociaux, les donkey influencers ou dunki influencers pullulent. Dans des vidéos YouTube ou des réels Instagram, ils se mettent en scène marchant dans la forêt entre la Colombie et le Panama, par exemple, ou encore proposent des conseils d’itinéraires pour passer d’un pays à l’autre. « Il est temps que le gouvernement indien prête attention [à ce type de trafic], exhorte The Hindu, [car] des personnes crédules sont devenues la proie de grandes promesses d’un avenir meilleur aux Etats-Unis. »

    • The “American dream” of Indians, who are increasingly migrating illegally to the United States

      The ‘American dream’ of Indians, who are increasingly migrating illegally to the United States

      By Carole Dieterich (New Delhi, correspondent)

      The case is now continuing in India. After spending five days stranded at Vatry airport in the Marne region on suspicion of illegal immigration, the Indian passengers on the Legend Airlines flight began to be questioned by the local police in their various states of origin, mainly Gujarat and Punjab. The A340 belonging to the small Romanian airline, with some 300 Indians on board, was grounded on 21 December by the French authorities. The aircraft was initially scheduled to make only a technical stopover to refuel on its route from the United Arab Emirates to Nicaragua. It was eventually sent back to Mumbai, where it landed on Tuesday 26 December. Twenty-five passengers, including five minors, remained in France, where they applied for asylum.

      According to initial information released by the Gujarat police, the passengers stranded in Paris were planning to travel to Mexico via Nicaragua, in order to then cross the border illegally into the United States. They are believed to have paid sums ranging from €43,500 to €130,500 to smugglers. These illegal immigration routes are well known in India. They are nicknamed ‘donkey routes’ from the Punjabi term dunki, which means ‘to move from one place to another’. For those aspiring to emigrate, the method consists of obtaining a residence permit in a country close to the United States or the United Kingdom, where it is easier to obtain a visa, before reaching the coveted land.

      The incident highlights the dramatic increase in illegal Indian immigration to the United States over the past five years. In 2021, there were an estimated 725,000 Indians living in the United States without legal status, according to the Pew Research Center. This figure has been rising steadily since 2017. Indians are the third largest group of illegal migrants in the United States, behind Mexicans and Salvadorans. The number of Indian migrants attempting to cross one of the United States’ borders has increased more than tenfold since 2019. The US Customs and Border Protection agency reportedly recorded 96,917 illegal Indian migrants in 2022-2023, compared to 8,027 in 2018-2019. The majority attempt to cross from the southern border, from Mexico.

      Several tragedies have shaken Indian public opinion in recent years. In April 2023, a family from Gujarat was found dead, drowned in the St. Lawrence River. With a Canadian tourist visa, the parents and their two children had attempted to cross the river illegally to reach the United States. In January 2022, another family from the same state died of cold a few metres from the border. And in 2019, a 6-year-old girl from Punjab was found dead in the Arizona desert.
      These mass departures of young people for an uncertain future abroad raise questions. India, a giant with a population of 1.4 billion, prides itself on being one of the world’s most dynamic economies. Despite its impressive growth rate (7.2% in 2022), the country is unable to create enough jobs for the 10 million or so new workers entering the labour market each year. ‘The fact that Indians are willing to take risks and endure enormous hardship to ultimately become illegal immigrants in the United States suggests that they are doing so either out of desperation or because they are being misled,’ The Hindu said in an editorial dated 29 December.

      The United Kingdom has also seen a surge in illegal immigration from India. Between January and March 2023, approximately 670 Indians arrived on the English coast aboard makeshift boats. According to figures from the British Home Office, the country has never recorded so many. In 2022, Frontex also recorded more than 7,000 illegal Indian immigrants at the borders of the European Union, compared to a few hundred in previous years.

      This illegal immigration contrasts with Indian success stories, embodied by Silicon Valley CEOs such as Sundar Pichai, head of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, and Satya Nadella, who runs Microsoft. Indians are seen as ‘model migrants’ in the United States. They are the main beneficiaries of H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers and accounted for 74% of approved applications in fiscal year 2021, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

      ‘Skilled migrants use legal channels, while illegal immigration candidates are generally men with little education but some capital, often from agricultural backgrounds who want to escape,’ says Sugandha Nagpal, a professor at Jindal University in the suburbs of New Delhi. Many come from Punjab, Gujarat, the former stronghold of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he presents as a model of economic success, or Haryana. ‘The illegal route has become completely normalised because many have friends or relatives who have taken it before them, and it is not seen as a problem,’ continues Ms Nagpal, a migration specialist.

      The phenomenon is so widespread that it has become part of popular culture. A Bollywood film, Dunki, starring cinema heartthrob Shahrukh Khan, is currently in cinemas and tells the story of four Punjabis from modest backgrounds who want to migrate to London. Social media is awash with donkey influencers or dunki influencers. In YouTube videos and Instagram stories, they show themselves walking through the forest between Colombia and Panama, for example, or offer advice on routes for crossing from one country to another. ‘It is time for the Indian government to pay attention [to this type of trafficking],’ urges The Hindu, ‘as gullible people have fallen prey to grand promises of a better future in the United States.’

  • COVID-19 impact exposes millions to the risk of trafficking, UN agency says | | UN News
    https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/02/1083542

    Migrants and people without jobs were among the groups most targeted by human traffickers, UNODC added, warning that the economic fallout and job losses due to the coronavirus pandemic have exposed millions more to the risk. “Millions of women, children and men worldwide are out of work, out of school and without social support in the continuing COVID-19 crisis, leaving them at greater risk of human trafficking”, Ghada Waly, UNODC Executive Director, said in news release announcing the findings from the agency’s report on human trafficking. UNODC’s Global Report on Trafficking in Person report found that traffickers integrated technology into their modus operandi at every stage of the process: from recruiting to exploiting victims. Children were especially vulnerable on social media, where many were “easy targets” for criminals. UNODC identified two types of tactics employed by traffickers: “hunting” or actively pursuing a victim, typically on social media; and “fishing”, when perpetrators post job advertisements and wait for potential victims to respond.
    The Internet also allowed traffickers to live stream the exploitation of their victims, enabling the simultaneous abuse of one victim by many perpetrators around the globe, said the UN agency. The share of children among trafficking victims tripled over the past 15 years, with girls mainly trafficked for sexual exploitation, while boys were used for forced labour, the report said. It added that while female victims continued to be the primary targets for trafficking in persons, the share of adult women among detected victims fell from more than 70 per cent to less than 50 per cent, over the same time period. For every 10 victims detected globally in 2018, about five were adult women and two were young girls. Around 20 per cent of human trafficking victims were adult men and 15 per cent, young boys, the report added. The report also found that globally, most persons prosecuted and convicted of trafficking in persons were male, accounting for 64 and 62 per cent, respectively. Offenders ranged from members of organized crime groups (which traffic the great majority of victims), to individuals operating on their own or in small groups on an opportunistic basis. Traffickers saw their victims as “commodities” without regard for human dignity and rights, the report said, noting that they would “sell” fellow human beings for a price ranging from tens of dollars to tens of thousands, with large criminal organizations making the highest incomes.

  • Un an après l’affaire du camion charnier, enquête sur le marché macabre du trafic de migrants
    https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2020/10/12/un-an-apres-l-affaire-du-camion-charnier-enquete-sur-le-marche-macabre-du-tr

    Lorsque le réseau outre-Manche arrête une date de départ, eux fixent les points de rendez-vous pour embarquer dans des camions, à Armentières, Calais, Lille, Amiens, Grande-Synthe, Bierne… Plus rarement dans le Calvados, sur la côte normande. Parfois, le lieu de prise en charge se situe en Belgique, à proximité du port de Zeebruges, voire sur le littoral néerlandais. Mais toujours à l’écart des villes, dans une zone industrielle reculée et discrète ou sur une aire d’autoroute. Pour rallier ces lieux, Tony et Hoang sont en contact avec de nombreux chauffeurs, le plus souvent des VTC ou des taxis exerçant illégalement et désireux d’arrondir leurs fins de mois. Selon la distance à parcourir, ces chauffeurs pourront toucher entre 500 et 800 euros par « course ». Entre octobre 2019 et mars 2020, l’un de ceux mis en examen dans l’affaire du camion charnier avait effectué 24 trajets depuis l’Ile-de-France en direction du Nord et de la Belgique.
    C’est ainsi que, le 16 octobre 2019, Nhung, une Vietnamienne tout juste majeure qui arrivait de Grenoble où elle avait une attache familiale avec une personne mise en cause dans l’enquête sur le réseau des restaurants asiatiques, a été accueillie par Hoang, à Créteil, et conduite à l’appartement de l’avenue du général Pierre-Billotte. D’autres rejoindront la planque la veille du départ, qu’ils soient en France depuis des mois – certains n’en sont pas à leur première tentative de traversée – ou qu’ils aient atterri à Roissy quelques jours plus tôt, selon les éléments fournis par l’étude de leurs téléphones. (...)
    Un contact en Angleterre a informé les passeurs en France que la traversée de la Manche aurait lieu dans la nuit du 22 au 23 octobre. Les coordonnées GPS transmises indiquent qu’il faut se rendre dans une zone industrielle à l’écart de la petite ville de Bierne, à trois heures de route de Paris. D’autres Vietnamiens y convergent depuis la région parisienne et la Belgique. Pour la jeune Nhung et ses compatriotes, c’est le moment d’entamer la dernière étape de leur odyssée. Une dizaine d’heures plus tard, la découverte du « camion charnier », ainsi que la presse le désignera très vite, vient contrarier les affaires des trafiquants. Tony part se mettre au vert en Allemagne. Les voyages clandestins qu’il organise cessent pendant plusieurs mois. Grâce aux téléphones retrouvés sur les cadavres, les policiers de l’Ocriest remontent toutefois jusqu’à lui et ses complices, aussitôt placés sous surveillance. Dès le mois de mars, et en dépit de la crise sanitaire mondiale, le réseau recommence à s’activer, convoyant de nouveaux clients, depuis de nouvelles planques, jusqu’à une vaste opération d’interpellations menées en France et en Belgique, le 26 mai.

    Violence has escalated along the triple border between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, as smugglers attempt to get round strict frontier controls imposed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. One marine was killed in a fierce shootout between smugglers and the Paraguayan military last week, in an episode which then allegedly led to the detention and torture of 35 civilians. While Brazil and Argentina are struggling with surging coronavirus caseloads, Paraguay boasts some of the lowest rates of Covid-19 infection in Latin America – thanks in part to the fact that its borders have been closed since 24 March.

    The Covid-19 pandemic is putting the world under enormous social and economic strain. The major disruption to the global economy has resulted in the near collapse of overseas employment for millions, with devastating implications for migrant workers including in states heavily reliant on a foreign labour force. As a result, millions of Bangladeshis are now at the edge of subsistence with little or no social protection available.

    One of the best things about IoT (Internet of Things) is its ability to solve the most common problems that we have around us and one of them is traffic. I would like to explain the capacity of IoT in optimizing the traffic because of today’s world population and the large number of transports that exist in the world. This issue even rises when most of the world’s population begins to migrate to metropolitan areas. According to research, by the year 2032, nearly 61% of the world population will be in metropolitan areas.No matter what area you are living in, you will always meet traffic difficulties around the clock. And this problem grows even worse when the city’s population & the vehicles they own increase. Moreover, each country’s transportation method will become worse and also it (...)

    This is the story of how my simple looking(but functional) Notepad app went from zero users to almost 10k monthly users without any sort of marketing and advertising. I’ll mention various aspects which have helped in increasing the growth of this app and some other things in between.In year 2016, the progressive web apps had raised many eyebrows in the web development world. So, to dive into the PWA world I’ve started working on this very simple Notepad app. I wanted to learn the concepts behind a PWA and I didn’t want any complexities in just setting up the app. That’s the main reason I chose such a simple idea and even a simpler implementation. I’ve quickly created a simple Notepad using HTML, a littlebit of JavaScript, jQuery and of course ServiceWorker. I’ve created a respository for (...)

  • Human #Trafficking-Smuggling_Nexus in Libya

    Probably nowhere more than in Libya have the definitional lines between migrant smuggling and human trafficking become as blurred or contested. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have left Libya’s shores in the hope of a new life in Europe; tens of thousands have died in the process.

    The inhumane conditions migrants face in Libya are well documented. The levels of brutality and exploitation they experience in Libya’s turbulent transitional environment have led to smuggling and trafficking groups being bundled under one catch-all heading by authorities and policymakers, and targeted as the root cause of the migration phenomenon. In many respects, this would appear to conveniently serve the interests of EU leaders and governments, who choose to disguise the anti-migration drive they urgently seek support for behind a policy of cracking down on both trafficking and smuggling rings, which they conflate as a common enemy, and one and the same.

    Given the highly complex context of Libya, this report proposes instead that any intervention to address the so-called migrant crisis should place the human rights of migrants at its centre, as opposed to necessarily demonizing smugglers, who are often the migrants’ gatekeepers to a better existence elsewhere.

  • Le Parole Sono Importanti – Perché prendercela con gli Scafisti è come dare capate ad un albero

    Il primo ricordo che ho del termine “Scafisti” risale agli anni Novanta, quando migliaia di Albanesi attraversavano il canale di Otranto per venire qui a ricostruirsi una vita (in moltissimi ce l’hanno fatta, e la comunità albanese è oggi una delle più integrate in Italia, ma questa è un’altra storia). Anche durante quell’esodo si moriva, e anche allora il nemico pubblico era lo Scafista. Lo Scafista era già senza scrupoli per antonomasia, si parlava di guerra agli Scafisti, di profughi nelle mani degli Scafisti, di benpensanti (il termine buonisti è nuovo di zecca) che finiscono per fare il gioco degli Scafisti.

    Tutto è cambiato, e non è cambiato niente.

    • Scafisti per forza

      “I trafficanti ci hanno detto che le ultime due persone a imbarcarsi avrebbero dovuto prendere timone e bussola. Io gli ho detto che non sapevo usare la bussola né guidare la barca”, dice un minorenne africano sospettato dalle autorità italiane di essere uno scafista. “Hanno risposto che non gli interessava. Poi mi hanno picchiato con un tubo”. Secondo i dati del ministero dell’interno, in Italia dal 2013 sono stati arrestati oltre 1.500 scafisti. Ma quanti di questi erano davvero complici dei trafficanti e non semplici migranti obbligati a mettersi al timone? “Se ti viene detto: ‘porta il gommone’ non puoi dire di no, è una questione di vita o di morte”, spiega Amir Sharaf, interprete del Gruppo interforze di contrasto all’immigrazione clandestina.

      Nei tribunali italiani le pene richieste per chi è accusato di aver guidato un gommone di migranti sono spesso molto severe. Per la prima volta però, l’8 settembre 2016, nella sentenza di assoluzione di due presunti scafisti, un giudice di Palermo ha descritto la loro condizione come dettata da uno “stato di necessità”.

      https://www.internazionale.it/video/2018/04/11/scafisti-per-forza

      Quelques citations transcrite à partir de la vidéo

      Carlo Parini, Gruppo interforze contrasto immigrazione clandestina:

      «La figura dello scafista non è la figura di uno veramente appartenente all’organizzazione»

      #Statisiques #chiffres:
      «Secondo i dati del ministero dell’interno, tra agosto 2015 e luglio 2016, sono stati arrestati 793 scafisti. Dal 2013 gli arresti sono stati 1511»
      "Per le autorità italiane non è facile individuare i responsabili del traffico di esseri umani in Libia. E spesso gli scafisti sono solo migranti costretti a condurre i gommoni"

      Amir Sharaf, interprete, Gruppo interforze contrasto immigrazione clandestina

      «Gli scafisti, quelli che arrivano dalla Libia, sono migranti normali, che vengono costretti, ad un certo punto anche picchiati, malmenati, minacciati. Se ti trovi in Libia, nella stessa condizione, e ti viene detto: ’Tocca (?) quel gommone!’ Tu non potresti mai dire no. Perché dire no è un suicidio. Lì, c’è una necessità di non morire»

      Giusy Latino, progetto Open Europe:
      Projet qui s’occupe de loger et conseiller les personnes qui sont identifiées, à leur débarquement, comme «scafisti».
      Giusy dit:

      «Sicuramente passano da qualche giorno a qualche settimana di carcere. Con un’accusa del genere, il passaggio obbligato è il carcere»

      Lamin Sar, presunto scafista:

      «Mi chiamo Lamin Sar, vengo dal Senegal, ho 18 anni. Quando sono arrivato in Libia ho pagato con i miei soldi. In un primo momento un libico guidava la barca. Dopo aver chiamato i soccorsi, ha detto: ’Ritorno in Libia.’ Io non sapevo guidare la barca, però in quel momento tutti gli altri si sono vergognati e per paura non volevano fare niente. Sono stato io a correre un rischio per aiutare gli altri. Però avevo paura come gli altri. Quando siamo arrivati in Italia mi hanno portato subito in prigione. Il mio primo giorno in Italia ho dormito in prigione. Dopo qualche giorno mi hanno detto di andare in un ufficio e un ragazzo senegalese che parla italiano meglio di me mi ha detto: ’Loro dicono che sei tu che guidavi la barca.’ In quel momento ho capito perché ero in prigione».

      «L’8 settembre 2016 il giudice di palermo Omar Modica ha assolto due presunti scafisti, accusati anche di omicidio. Nella traversata erano morte 12 persone. L’accusa aveva chiesto l’ergastolo. Nella sentenza di assoluzione si parla per la prima volta di #stato_di_necessità, affermando che gli accusati erano stati costretti a guidare il gommone»
      #état_de_nécessité

      Gigi Omar Modica, giudice di Palermo:

      Cosa si chiede a questi soggetti? Gli si chiede: chi era alla guida del mezzo e chi portava la bussola. Punto. Si scava? A volte credo di no. A ciò va aggiunto che chi parla dopo un po’ ha il permesso di soggiorno per motivi di giustizia, perché testimone di un processo. Queste cose non si sanno? Gli immigrati non lo sanno? Lo fanno spontaneamente? No, ve lo dico io. Questo per capire come non siamo di fronte al classico testimone con la pancia piena, tranquillo, beato, che va lì e dice tutto. Siamo di fronte a soggetti che hanno paura a parlare e che spontaneamente non ti dicono nulla. Se poi noi ce la prendiamo con questi morti di fame che materialmente vengono catturati, che vengono colti alla guida di questi natanti, non compiamo un atto di giustizia. Quindi le pene che vengono richieste, pene stellari, mi sembra tutto profondamente ingiusto."

      #justice #injustice

      Cinzia Pecoraro, avvocato:

      «Spesso i trafficanti utilizzano come scafisti dei minori. Nel caso di un ragazzo che sto seguendo, che è stato arrestato come presunto scafista, ha dichiarato la sua data di nascita, settembre 1999, però in Italia vi è un metodo utilizzato per stabilire l’età anagrafica di un soggetto: radiografia del polso. E’ stata effettuata la radiografia del posto di Joof Alfusainey ed è risultato avere più di 18 anni. Joof è stato detenuto per quasi un anno presso il carcere di Palermo, quindi tra soggetti maggiorenni. Joof all’epoca aveva 15 anni»

      Joof Alfusainey, presunto scafista

      «Mi chiamo Alfusainey Joof, vengo dal Gambia et ho 17 anni. Sono arrivato in Italia l’11 giugno 2016, un sabato. Ho attraversato Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria. Poi sono arrivato in Libia. Questa era la mia tessera di studente quando vivevo in Gambia. Perché in Gambia, se sei minorenne, non puoi avere documenti come il passaporto.»

      –-> après recours de l’avocate, Joof a été considéré mineur.

      La suite du témoignage de Joof:

      «Arrivati in Italia, mi hanno fatto scendere dalla nave soccorso per primo caricandomi su un’ambulanza e portandomi in ospedale. Arrivato in ospedale ho visto la polizia, a quel punto ho scoperto di essere accusato di aver guidato la barca. Ho provato molte volte a dirgli che non ero stato io a guidare la barca, ma a loro non interessava. Non mi hanno neanche dato la possibilità di parlare, anche se era un mio diritto. Ma a loro non interessava e continuavano a dire che ero stato io. Mi stavano accusando senza prove. Non avevano nulla, nessuna foto, nessun video che mi incriminassero. Solo parole.»

      Cinzia Pecoraro, avvocato:

      «Una risposta all’opinione pubblica, la si deve dare. Quindi sicuramente si sceglie la risposta dei numeri. Quindi: tot sbarchi, tot arresti, tot condanne. E già è una risposta all’opinione pubblica. E quindi i numeri adesso sono altissimi, le aule di giustizia traboccano di questi procedimenti, che spesso però colpiscono a mio parere le persone sbagliate.»

      La suite du témoignage de Joof:

      «Alcune persone in Africa, soprattutto in Libia, sanno che una volta in Italia, chi accusa qualcuno di aver guidato la barca ottiene un permesso di soggiorno. Anche io avrei potuto indicare qualcuno, e dire che era stato lui a guidare la barca, e così avrei ottenuto il permesso di soggiorno. Ma cosa avrei dovuto fare? Io non volevo accusare nessuno. Non volevo mettere un’altra persone nei guai.»

    • Why is the Syracuse man who saved thousands of migrants out of a job?

      After more than a decade of heading Sicily’s taskforce on illegal immigration, #Carlo_Parini has been told his role will end.

      The history of the migrant crisis in the central Mediterranean, the story of its dead and shipwrecked, is all contained in a messy desk overflowing with files and folders in a tiny room in the prosecutor’s office in Syracuse.

      Somewhere among the heaps of papers is Commissario Carlo Parini, head of an illegal-immigration taskforce. Parini is pensive. Late last month it was announced that the taskforce’s office in the historic south-eastern Sicilian city was closing, with an abrupt explanation: “Arrivals from Libya in Sicily have decreased by 80%, and this office is no longer needed.”

      From 2006 until earlier this month, the 56-year-old Parini – who at 6ft 5in towers over most people – headed the Interforce Group on Illegal Immigration in Sicily (Gicic). In that time nearly 200,000 people arrived in the island. Their stories are all catalogued in the dusty folders that cover his office. Over the past few days they have been transferred to cardboard boxes, their final destination the basement.

      “They say the arrivals are over,” says Parini. “And yet this year we intercepted 12 sailing boats transporting 900 migrants from Turkey. We’ve followed these investigations for many years. We had almost arrived at the heart of the criminal organisation. It’s a shame to stop now.”

      Looking around the office in search of something he fears has been lost, he suddenly exclaims. “Here it is! Finally! I’d been looking for this for days. Read this: it’s the first migrant case I worked on.”

      He remembers it as if it were yesterday. Thirty-five shivering Sri Lankans arrived in Italy from Egypt aboard a wooden boat one winter evening in 1999, when Parini was still a junior anti-Mafia police officer. As he waited for their arrival at the port of Riposto, just along the coast from Syracuse, he had no idea that the moment would change his life and set the course for the next 20 years of his career.

      The following day the newspapers in Italy reported confidently that the arrivals were “an isolated case”. No one – not the police, and certainly not the press – could have predicted then what would happen over the coming years, when Europe would be forced to come to grips with the most intense migrant and refugee crisis since the second world war. That arrival in the port of Riposto was a mere hint of what was to come.

      In 2000, 2,782 migrants crossed the Mediterranean to reach Sicily; 18,225 came in 2002. In 2011 it was 57,181. Between 2006 and last November, Parini handled 1,084 arrivals, investigated the deaths of more than 2,000 migrants, and arrested 1,081 people accused of human trafficking. This last total earned him the attention of the international press, who lionised him. It even earned him a nickname: “Smuggler Hunter”.

      “We worked day and night, relentlessly,” Parini says. “We’d spend entire days at the port. One of my colleagues had a heart attack. He had had no sleep for three consecutive days. And then that cursed day came in October 2013 that changed the migrant crisis for ever. That day that changed us all.”

      The mass drowning off Lampedusa on 3 October 2013 marked a turning point. That night 368 people perished in the sea in an attempt to reach Sicily. Until then European governments had largely watched from their capitals. Now they agreed that it was time to act. On 18 October, Italy launched the Mare Nostrum operation, a military intervention for humanitarian ends intended to prevent such tragedies. Parini became one of the commanders of the mission, and aboard the military ship San Giorgio he began patrolling the waters of the central Mediterranean and rescuing migrant boats in distress.

      “We saved thousands of lives,” Parini says. “And at the same time we attempted to investigate the people involved in the trafficking business, who were exploiting migrants and getting rich in the process.”

      Italian prosecutors convinced their EU counterparts to join the crusade on the premise of a somewhat romantic principle: that the same strategy employed to capture mafiosi could be used to combat people-smugglers. Sicilian prosecutors suspected that among smugglers there was a power structure regulated by an honour code similar to the Cosa Nostra’s. Wire taps – such a vital weapon in the fight against the Mafia – also came in handy. Sitting behind their desks, the prosecutors eavesdropped on hundreds of people in Africa.

      But without credible intelligence the hunt from a distance against human traffickers was deeply frustrating. “We arrested thousands of boat drivers,” says Parini. “That was our duty. But the real smugglers were in Libya. And we didn’t have men in Libya.’’

      While the prosecutors continued their hunt, in Europe the presence of migrants and refugees led to protests, a rise in rightwing populism, and authoritarian and repressive policies towards asylum seekers.

      Mare Nostrum was superseded by Operation Triton, which was intended to patrol the Mediterranean more than save lives. In 2015 non-governmental ships began rescue operations in Libyan waters, saving tens of thousands of lives, while the Italian authorities began attacking aid groups, confiscating vessels without just cause.

      “Personally, in my work I have never had problems with NGOs,” says Parini. “In fact, some of them were very efficient.”

      Migrant arrivals started to nosedive in February 2017 when, in an attempt to stem the flow, Marco Minniti, the former interior minister from the centre-left Democratic party, struck a deal with the Libyan coastguard that allowed it to return migrants and refugees to a country where aid agencies say they suffer torture and abuse. “I have no knowledge of what is going on in Libya,” says Parini. “But given what I’ve been told by the thousands of migrants that I’ve questioned, it must be hell. Injuries and signs of torture on their bodies are proof. Many women were raped in Libya, and those who gave birth in Sicily abandoned their children because they were the result of physical violence, a violence that they wanted to forget for ever.”

      Amnesty International estimates that about 20,000 people were intercepted by the coastguard in 2017 and taken back to Libya.

      This June a new government took power in Rome in the form of an alliance between the populist Five Star Movement and the rightwing League. The new interior minister, Matteo Salvini, is noted for his anti-immigrant policies and his first move was to close Italy’s ports to the rescue boats. Parini prefers not to comment on Salvini’s tactics, and perhaps his silence speaks louder than words.

      Today NGO rescue boats have almost disappeared from the central Mediterranean. People seeking asylum are still risking the crossing but, without the rescue boats, shipwrecks are likely to rise dramatically. The death toll has fallen in the past year, but the number of those drowning as a proportion of arrivals has risen sharply in the past few months, with the possibility of dying during the crossing now three times higher.

      Parini left his office in mid-December. After heading one of the most important taskforces charged with fighting illegal immigration in Italy, he is now working for the customs bureau. The history of the migrant crisis, now stored in a basement in Syracuse, will also be indelibly lodged in the memory of this man: a man who will never forget the 167 bodies he was forced to look in the face.

      “I will take those faces to my grave, and maybe even beyond,” says Parini.
