The recent #EUelection results will have a direct impact on mixed migration in Europe. "With the right and far-right having strengthened their political positions and some in leadership roles across Europe, it would be fair to expect that their influence and the subsequent normalising of the extreme in relation to immigration and asylum are set to be further consolidated," write Christopher Horwood and Roberto Forin.

What is missing from the European debate on smugglers? 👉 Nuance. "...constantly pushing for a criminalised response to smugglers, blaming the smugglers, functions as a bit of a smokescreen in a more sort of generic approach against irregular migration, but I think it's sort of hiding some of the real facts that are happening on the ground." 🎬 Bram Frouws at the press conference for the launch of the report 'On this journey, no one cares if you live or die' (Volume 2): https://lnkd.in/esdaYT9s

📝 Our research examining the economic situation of migrants in #Libya shows that economic factors play a crucial role in their decision-making. 🔹77% of our respondents cited economic reasons as a primary reason for leaving their country of origin, interplaying with other factors such as violence, insecurity and conflict (41%), and a prevailing culture of #migration (39%). 🔹More than half of respondents decided to stop in Libya for work to finance their onward journey. 🔹78% of all respondents stated that they selected their intended destination because they anticipated finding better economic opportunities and/or generally experiencing a higher standard of living (65%) there. 🔗 Read our report with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung here:

While mobility can enable #migrants to seek new opportunities and improve their conditions, it can also become a negative coping mechanism whereby migrants keep moving onward, further depleting their resources. This new article by Roberto Forin, Giulia Testa & Giulia Bruschi on migrant mobility across #Europe examines why some migrants remain in their initial EU border country of arrival while others move to different European countries. ⬇️ Read the article on the European University Institute Migration Policy Centre Blog. #PRIMEprojectEU

People are losing their lives along land routes through Africa 🌍 "It's hard to get very accurate numbers, but we estimate that actually more people are even losing their lives on some of these land routes as compared to the Mediterranean crossings. And in addition to that most extreme tragedy of people losing their lives, there are many, many stories of torture, rape, sexual violence, physical violence, and kidnapping," said Bram Frouws in an interview on RTP on 12 July 2024. 👉 The report 'On this journey, no one cares if you live or die' (Volume 2) by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, IOM - UN Migration & MMC is available here: https://lnkd.in/esdaYT9s
