Barca con 14 migranti scomparsa in Sardegna. Si teme peggio

Una imbarcazione con a bordo 14 migranti è scomparsa nel mare di Sardegna. La Guardia costiera di Cagliari, con l’ausilio di mezzi dell’Aeronautica militare e della Guardia di finanza stanno cercando da stamattina di rintracciarla.

La barca, da quanto riportano alcuni media, sarebbe partita dal porto di Algeri destinazione Sardegna dove, però, non è mai arrivata. Si teme un naufragio. L’allarme per la ricerca del natante è arrivato dalla centrale nazionale della Guardia costiera.

Greek appeals committee halts deportation of Syrian, ruling Turkey ‚unsafe‘ (Ekathimerini)

A Greek appeals committee has upheld an appeal by a Syrian refugee against a rejected asylum application, deeming that Turkey is an „unsafe country.“

The decision could throw a recent deal between the European Union and Turkey, which foresees newly arrived migrants being returned to Turkey, into disarray if it prompts a wave of similar rulings.

The Syrian national, who arrived on the Aegean island of Lesvos from neighboring Turkey, had appealed for asylum but saw his appeal rejected and faced deportation to Turkey. However, a committee that rules on rejected asylum applications, deemed that the Syrian should not be deported as Turkey is an ‚unsafe country.‘ Weiterlesen »

Tratti in salvo dalla Libia 112 migranti, tutti di origini africana

Sono 112 i migranti che la Guardia costiera libica ha intercettato al largo delle coste. Tutti di nazionalità africana, sono stati tratti in salvo, in un braccio di mare che è diventato una fossa comune, e riportati a riva.

Soltanto dall’inizio di maggio 113 persone avrebbero perso la vita in quattro diversi naufragi, ma la rotta mediterranea sembra ormai l’unica possibile per chi cerca di raggiungere l’Europa.

Migranti, l’hotspot di Pozzallo è un centro di detenzione per i profughi bambini

Secondo gli accordi internazionali, la struttura situata nell’estrema periferia della città costiera siciliana dovrebbe servire a identificare i migranti tratti in salvo dal mare in modo poi da ridistribuirli nei centri d’accoglienza in Italia e in Europa. Ma la situazione dell’hotspot di Pozzallo è molto diversa: dietro ai cancelli, in un’unica gigantesca camerata, stazionano, alcuni da più di un mese, più di 150 ospiti, di cui 120 minori non accompagnati. Vengono principalmente dall’Africa centrale e dall’Egitto e sono rimasti lì dentro principalmente per l’indisponibilità di posti nei centri per minorenni nello Stivale.

Egyptians among new wave of migrants to Italy – officials

By Reuters

ROME, May 13 (Reuters) – Hundreds of migrants were brought to Italy on Friday having been rescued from the sea over the past day, however the majority were not Syrian, as previously reported, but came from a variety of countries, officials said.

The Italian coast guard, which orchestrated various rescue missions on Thursday, initially said most of the new arrivals appeared to be from Syria — a sign that Middle East refugees were shifting their route into Europe away from Greece.

Year Five of the Arab Revolution – the Exemple of Tunisia

It is time to take stock: how far-reaching are the changes prompted by the Arabellion? What historiographical and socio-geographical changes of perspective are needed to grasp the ongoing societal transformation in the Mediterranean region? Can flight and immigration to Europe be understood as part of a larger rebellious decampment? What role does violence play within the contradictory self-activity of society? On the basis of these questions, one can outline a contemporary history that is no longer characterized by “revolt as a form of negotiation,” but rather by a widening rift between society and the state. The Tunisian example is used to show how the architecture of the state and the austerity policies of the IMF, while displaying a certain continuity, have lost their social foundation. The collapse of the coast guard, the breakdown of the informer network, and the participation of the lower middle classes in the poverty-driven 2011 revolt are indicative of this. With the “war on terror,” a new structure of domination is emerging. The middle-class adolescents flocking to the “Islamic State” seek to gain control over the fluctuating groups of social rebels, jihadists, and militias. The instruments employed by the “Islamic State” derive from the Iraqi intelligence agency and the young high-tech community.

Border Lock-Down Puts Syrian Lives at Risk

(Istanbul) – Turkish border guards are shooting and beating Syrian asylum seekers trying to reach Turkey, resulting in deaths and serious injuries, Human Rights Watch said today. The Turkish authorities should stop pushing Syrian asylum seekers back at the border and should investigate all use of excessive force by border guards.
