"Cuando lo intenté por cuarta vez nos ahogamos". Los refugiados que no queremos ver

La editorial capitán Swing acaba de pulicar en castellano "Cuando lo intenté por cuarta vez nos ahogamos. La búsqueda de refugio en la ruta migratoria más letal del mundo", de la escritora irlandesa Sally Hayden, que relata de manera incisiva y dolorosa las penurias experimentadas por los ciudadanos africanos desfavorecidos y sin privilegios que inician el camino de la migración a Europa.

AFROFÉMINAS

Scanning the contents page of "Captive Commodities" about the commodification, exploitation and missingness of Ethiopian #migrants on the Eastern Route to #SaudiArabia . This looks scarily similar to #SallyHayden 's reporting of what's been happening in #Libya ...

Excellent piece by #SallyHayden, a must-read, as is her book #MyFourthTimeWeDrowned - none of us can say we didn't know

"How has the mass drowning of people become normalised?
The potentially hundreds of people who drowned this week off southern Greece are victims of the world’s inequality"

How has the mass drowning of people become in any way normalised?

The potentially hundreds of people who drowned this week off southern Greece are victims of the world’s inequality

@glynmoody Recommended reading on #migrant deaths in Mediteranean Sea is #SallyHayden's book #MyFourthTimeWeDrowned the human stories and her investigations into alleged #EU bankrolling of Libyan prisons to hold back potential migrants plus alleged NGO corruption and #UN neglect.
> .. #SocialMedia.. has good and bad aspects.. life-changing aspects. What I found out was that.. when #smugglers detain people in #Libya, they’re now crowd-funding.. they’ll post photos of people.. being #tortured.. so that they can crowd-fund.. ransoms.. captivity is being #monetized. So it’s.. raising the cost, but it’s also giving people a lifeline to try.. to escape these situations.

How Europe’s Anti-Migrant Policies Gave Rise to “Absolutely Horrific” Refugee Prisons in Libya

Western countries have opened their doors to millions of Ukrainians fleeing the war in their homeland, presenting a model of how refugees should be welcomed. But their experience stands in stark contrast to how African refugees are treated when attempting to reach Europe to escape war, hunger and despair. In her new book, “My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World’s Deadliest Migration Route,” author Sally Hayden details how a single message from an Eritrean refugee held in a Libyan detention center led her on a years-long journey to document the human rights disaster on Europe’s doorstep. She says that since a 2017 European Union agreement with Libya to stop migrants before they cross the Mediterranean, many refugees have been imprisoned in hellish detention centers run by armed groups with little care for the safety or well-being of the people inside. “Tens of thousands of people have been locked up in detention centers that Pope Francis, among many others, have compared to concentration camps,” says Hayden. “The situation is absolutely horrific.”
