How the EU's inhumane border 'pushbacks' are keeping refugees in Africa
In the following piece we discussed how the outbreak of violence in the Tigray region will lead to an inevitable increase in migration flows towards the Mediterranean coast aiming for Europe but instead of offering protection the EU externalisation policies and failed rhetoric of 'refugee crisis' will lead to more devastating loss of innocent lives. Narrowing down on the African context we emphasise the damage caused by the 'refugee crisis' rhetoric and how it should be replaced with the term 'refugee struggle' as it captures the reality of refugees fighting violent and xenophobic policies of EU and its member states.
