Please say the same to North African leaders

Pope Leo urged European leaders to do more to protect and integrate migrants.

His remarks came during a day trip to #Lampedusa, Italy, a gateway for migrants risking dangerous Mediterranean crossings into Europe from Africa.

Just stopping the boat will not change anything. In spire of being irregularly on the French territory, their stay is de facto tolerated until another boat comes…the situation is mismanaged for decades.

[InfoMigrants @InfoMigrants]

For migrants trying to cross the Channel from France to the UK, boarding the boats is the most dangerous part of the crossing.

Here's why:

[vincent cochetel @cochetel]

Well, before Brexit, UK could have biometric data of who had a applied for asylum in the EU, now you left EU and the EURODAC system, guess what, thanks to Brexit, you lost (that) control.

The case of Twana Jamal sums up the UK’s broken immigration system. He was jailed in France for people smuggling but he now lives in Leicestershire as an asylum seeker. These men are laughing at us, says Michael Murphy

In Germany, many companies are struggling to find workers, even though there is a significant number of people who are unemployed.

One factor: Qualified refugees often have to wait for a long time to get their job skills recognized, leading to delays in joining the workforce.

A UNHCR truck was hit by a drone in #Sudan for the second time this year.

The driver escaped. But 50 tonnes of lifesaving aid for families & communities affected by the conflict was destroyed.

This is wrong and unacceptable.

Sudan: I am issuing a red alert that needs to land on the desks of Heads of State and government around the world.
We need action at the highest level to prevent atrocity crimes in El Obeid and other places in Kordofan.

More than 3.5 million people have been forced from their homes across the Lake #Chad Basin.
That’s more than the population of many countries.
And 8.2 million people now depend on humanitarian assistance just to survive.
This is one of the world’s most overlooked crises.

[Jeff Crisp @JFCrisp]

Why are IOM (an international migration agency) and UNHCR (a refugee organization) competing for attention in relation to their role in assisting victims of the Venezeula earthquake (who are neither refugees nor migrants)?

[vincent cochetel @cochetel]

https://t.co/gl43vEXOC2 FRONTEX had no checks in place, Greece was encouraging the quick transit of its territory, but then why was he not deported by Germany, France? How data systems on asylum, convicted criminals are not connected ? Lots of questions to be answered 2/2.

Convicted ISIS terrorist who attended beheadings and public floggings in Iraq came to Britain on small boat after hearing on Tiktok that UK 'accepts everyone' court hears https://t.co/iLuMUHA6iu

ISIS terrorist 'came to Britain on boat because UK accepts everyone https://t.co/KQqWcKqWVy via @DailyMail interesting itinerary. In 2014, In Greece, I told FRONTEX to step up security screenings as we knew that people shaved before leaving Turkey. 1/2

Qu’attendons-nous ?

Qu’attendons-nous pour enfin protéger le ciel ukrainien?

Qu’attendons-nous pour accélérer nos livraisons de défenses anti-aériennes à la résistance ukrainienne?

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

EU countries are still buying Russian gas & supply Russia with raw materials.

This is where their money goes: burying civilians under rubble in Kyiv.

Europe is facilitating this.

Over 14,600 people have been deported from Algeria to Niger since the beginning of the year, according to Alarm Phone Sahara.

This brings the total number of people returned from Algeria since the beginning of 2024 to well over 82,000.

The Trump administration’s move to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitians has triggered widespread fear among Haitian communities of family separation, job loss, and deportation to a country engulfed by violence and a humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/K2s5hx9SD1

France would be inspired to translate its words of support into a meaningful financial contribution to this organization which plays a critical role to avoid further erosion of human rights standards & compliance. Today, France’support is O euro.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Valuable exchange with French Foreign Minister @jnbarrot on keeping human rights at the core of responses to global challenges. Grateful for France’s support for my Office and its commitment to international human rights law and the Global Alliance for Human Rights.
