Kurz vor den Wahlen: was wollen wir eigentlich? In diesem @mtafrika.bsky.social Spotlight zeige ich, dass legale, sichere Migration aus Afrika nach Europa zunehmend schwieriger geworden ist. Und Migrationspartnerschaften haben dabei wenig Wirkungen trotz des Bedarfes an Fachkräfte👉 shorturl.at/zxzWv

Warum rasante Abschiebungen vielleicht doch nicht so einfach, zielführend oder wünschenswert sind, erläutern @schammann.bsky.social, Thomas Oberhäuser und ich in aller Kürze für den @tagesspiegel.de 👇

Auf dem Blog des @fluchtforschung.bsky.social kommentieren Kolleg:innen die aktuellen Schlagworte der politischen Debatte und wie sie aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht zu bewerten sind: Pullfaktor, Vollzugsdefizit, GEAS etc. #LauteWissenschaft #BTW2025 fluchtforschung.net/fluchtforsch...

Wichtiger Beitrag zu Mythen in der aktuellen Debatte um Migration und Flucht zu Pullfaktoren, Vollzugsdefizit, Ausreisepflicht, Dauerhafte Grenzkontrollen, GEAS, Illegale Migration, Kontroll- und Begrenzungsnarrativ, „Verschärfung“ und „Härte“ in der Migrations- und Flüchtlingspolitik

In this @mtafrika.bsky.social Spotlight I reflect on access to visas to Europe for African colleagues, the ties to colonial legacies and how migration partnership agreements (think Germany/Kenya) fall short in rectifying our complicity in unjust mobility regimes.👇

Totally agree with this, best way to start your Saturdays 😍@thecontinent.org 👇

La contradiction réapparaît à chaque nouveau naufrage. L’Europe est choquée, elle se désole... Mais dans le même temps elle ne change rien à ses politiques, et s’accommode finalement de voir ses frontières transformées en une fosse commune pour non-Européens.👇grt new piece from Antoine Pecoud
