La majorité referait le voyage malgré les risques

New York – Les migrants irréguliers qui ont effectué le périlleux voyage de l’Afrique vers l’Europe le referaient, même conscients des dangers. Environ 93 % des près de 2 000 migrants en situation irrégulière interrogés ont connu le danger durant leur voyage, mais seulement 2 % ont déclaré qu’ils seraient restés chez eux s’ils avaient eu connaissance des risques.

In Mali, Flow Monitoring Points are set up at key transit locations across the country (Gao, Timbuktu, Kidal, Menaka, Mopti, Kayes, Segou, Sikasso and Bamako) to monitor the movements of travelers coming from and headed to other countries in West and North Africa. In September 2019, the average daily number of individuals observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (307) increased by 32 per cent compared to the previous month. Nationals from Mali, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Burkina Faso accounted for 71 per cent of all the migrants recorded at the flow monitoring points.

Save the Children calls for immediate protection of Syrian, Iraqi and foreign children, and for governments to urgently repatriate children to their countries of origin

Fewer than 350 children living in three camps in North East Syria and born to parents from a nationality other than Syrian or Iraqi are known to have been repatriated to their home country since January 2019 out of more than 9,800 [1].

The ‘Messina model’ can be understood as the practical modus operandi that was developed, applied and tested in Messina, Sicily during the Seawatch 3 disembarkation / voluntary relocation in March 2019.

This model has subsequently been applied in several other disembarkations / voluntary relocations in / from Malta and Italy and has proved to be a robust but flexible mechanism. Three of these operations are still on-going (Ocean Viking in Malta and Open Arms and Eleanor in Italy).

In the last few weeks, some progress has been made on the temporary arrangements for disembarkation and relocation in the Mediterranean, first at a special meeting in Valletta and at the Justice and Home Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Tuesday. ECRE offers a cautious welcome to these developments: welcome because there are more positive than negative elements but cautious because undesirable points still find their way in. The agreement now needs to be finalised and expanded.

The Coalition and the Agreement

• UNHCR and partners counselled over 2,500 asylum-seekers at over thirty sites throughout the country. 326 unaccompanied or separated children (UASC) benefitted from guardianship under the UNHCR project. Eighteen asylum-seekers, including two UASC, signed powers of attorney for UNHCR project lawyers to represent them in asylum procedures.

LYON, France – Faisant preuve d’une solidarité mondiale sans précédent, les donateurs réunis à l’occasion de la sixième Conférence de reconstitution des ressources du Fonds mondial ont promis 14,02 milliards de dollars US pour les trois prochaines années. Jamais une organisation multilatérale du secteur de la santé n’avait récolté une telle somme, la plus importante obtenue par le Fonds mondial. Ces ressources aideront à sauver 16 millions de vies et à mettre fin aux épidémies de sida, de tuberculose et de paludisme d’ici 2030.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor commends the new plan agreed upon by Germany, France, Italy and Malta to welcome more migrants and refugees rescued in the Mediterranean. This is a significant step towards addressing the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean but also towards establishing better migration policies in Europe.
