    It’s politics, stupid. Arrivals in EU now even below 2014 levels.

    Arrivals by sea to EU: 2014: 247.263 2015: 1.070.625 2016: 360.329 2017: 172.362 2018 (until 3/7): 45.808 Total EU population: 500 million. This is not a migration crisis, rather a humanitarian one: more than 16.000 migrants have died or gone missing at sea since 2014.

    Drowning. Death. Detention. Departing from Libya is deadlier than ever. 1 in 10 die.

    Thanks for reminding us these shocking numbers, decisions to cut rescue at sea capacities also lead to more deaths

    Football without migration? How boring that would be!

    Miranda. Thiago Silva. Marcelo. Casemiro. Paulinho. Gabriel Jesus. All these 🇧🇷 footballers are migrants. But they also grew up without fathers.

    22 million people in need. 11 million of them children. 8.4 million on the brink of famine. A child dies every 10 minutes. This is today. Watch Henrietta Fore brief the press in Geneva today.

    Interesting read shared by colleague. On the actual return on investment of migrants.

    Very interesting study by debunking a myth or two regarding the economic ‘burden’ of migration and asylum (in FR). Les migrants « ne sont pas une charge économique » pour les pays européens

    Bravo No European Nauru. No European Guantanamo. No closed centers. No detention of children. We can protect borders, our democracies and human rights.

    Detention instead of tearing families apart? That’s . We can- we must- do better to protect . The 2000 children separated must be reunited urgently. No child needs to be detained. The US has been a pioneer of effective alternatives that work.
