Great to see "Go, friend, go" being shown at this year's @fescaaal on March 25. Hoping that more festival or local screenings will be happening soon. Contact BVMN if you'd like to help make that happen.

We won an award at the @FdP_Florence for the premiere of Go, Friend, Go. A documentary by @BrogaDoite with animation by @brush_bow that was organised with @Border_Violence to document the situation along the so-called Balkan Route and the realities of illegal pushbacks.

What the expulsion of Cuban asylum seekers from Greece reveals about EU and US migration policies

Some Cubans have tried to avoid harsh US migration policies by seeking safety in Europe, only to fall victim to similar treatment in the EU.

Every visa (humanitarian, work, study etc) deprives one smuggling network of payment. Until a serious proposal is tabled to issue significant numbers of those, the monopoly of movement remains in the hands of smugglers.

Around 90% of irregular arrivals to the EU are exploited by migrant smugglers. Many of those smuggling networks are involved in trafficking drugs and firearms. EU and Turkey will step up cooperation to break those networks. Technical discussions will start after my Ankara visit.

Egypt closed the Suez Canal in the 1960s, so people started building enormous ships that could go around Africa instead, and now one of those enormous ships has clogged up the Suez Canal, so everyone has to go around Africa. @LalehKhalili: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Analysis | Big ships were created to avoid relying on the Suez Canal. Ironically, a big ship is now...

The 2021 blockage is another reminder of the fragility and lack of accountability in global shipping.
