Die italienische Tageszeitung La Stampa berichtet, dass die italienische Regierung und die EU-Kommission sich auf einen Stop von Mare Nostrum geeinigt hätten. Die italienische Marine-Operation Mare Nostrum hat bislang über 100.000 Boat-people das Leben gerettet. Mehrheitlich handelt es sich um Flüchtlinge aus Syrien und dem Horn von Afrika.
„Editorial:
Europe’s Migration Emergency
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
Record numbers of migrants are risking perilous crossings by sea to reach Europe’s borders. At least 23,000 have died attempting to make it to Europe since the year 2000, and more are dying every week. A new report from Amnesty International puts the blame squarely on “Fortress Europe” migration policies. […]

In den letzten zwei Jahren hat die EU in mehreren nordafrikanischen und Sahara-Staaten polizeiliche wie militärische Projekte gestartet. Eines der wichtigsten Ziele dieser polizeilich-militärischen Stationierungen ist das Aufhalten der Flüchtlinge und MigrantInnen in der Sahara, insbesondere an den zwischenstaatlichen Grenzen. Die Fluchtrouten sind allerdings Teil der grenzüberschreitenden informellen Ökonomie der lokalen Bevölkerungen, so dass ein neues Grenzregime in der Sahara auf unterschiedlichen sozialen Widerstand stößt. Die Grenzregionen befinden sich zum Teil nicht unter staatlicher Kontrolle. – Alle EU- Vorhaben befinden sich inzwischen in der Krise. Die Polizisten und Militärs aus den EU-Staaten halten sich überwiegend in Nobelhotels auf, beschützt von hochgerüsteten Leibwächtern.

The Eclipse of Europe: Economic Agreements between Italy and Libya and the Surveillance of Borders

Bilateral Agreements between Italy and Libya: Security without Human Rights
Not much has been said about the Ministerial Conference held in Rome on the 6th of March 2014, where foreign ministers, high level delegations from Libya and representatives from international organisations gathered to discuss the current situation of Libya. At the forefront of the Conference there were the economic ties between Libya and its partners, the necessity to defend them by disarming paramilitary groups, the patrolling of borders and the subsequent issue of illegal migration.

„[…] CM: […] I spoke yesterday with [Italian Interior] Minister [Angelino] Alfano to see how we can help them. Because they say, “Europe is not helping,” but we are actually—a lot. We need to assess exactly how much more we can help them and what they need. Because crying for help is one thing, but you can’t sign a check—we need blankets, a reception center, a boat. They need to be more specific. They also need help with Mare Nostrum. This is something they need to discuss in the context of Frontex with the member states, to see how they can help. Mare Nosturm is a very expensive operation. I am full of admiration, it has saved thousands and thousands of lives. We have contributed a little bit from the EU but it is a very expensive operation. So to just replace it with a Frontex operation is not possible. They don’t have the money for that. The Frontex budget is €90 million and not all of that can go to operational issues. And the Mediterranean is very big.
And member states have capped the budget. Maybe some member states are willing to contribute more. Outside the context of Frontex, too, we can look at how countries can help. But I don’t think they have the economic means to continue with this.

Kayiki Press Release
End death at border now! Respect human life and death!
We, the inhabitants of both sides of Aegean Sea, express our anger and our shock about the thousands of deaths of refugees and migrants in their effort to cross Europe. They are a direct result of the Europe Fortress policy: The sealing of the borders and the lack of any other way for these people to seek protection.
