Some borders do not end when you cross them. Even when you move, it moves with you, it follow you into your sleep, into your memories, into the language you speak, into the way you see yourself and the world around you. A poem by @davidyambio.bsky.social www.refugeesinlibya.org/post/a-borde...

I sincerely believe that poetry remains one of the few places where a person can argue with memory, speak to revolution, fantasize about love, express rage, and question borders without needing permission or an audience. § A Border That Keeps Following Me § 1/9

We appreciate these efforts but still have many unanswered questions. Why are Libyans and Europeans who were accomplices to these Eritrean perpetrators still unaccounted for? Shouldn’t this be a human trafficking case? www.dw.com/en/dutch-cou... @deutschewelle.dw.com

Dutch court sentences Eritrean migrant smuggler to 20 years

A Dutch court on Tuesday sentenced Eritrean Amanuel W. to 20 years in prison in the Netherlands' largest migrant smuggling case so far. More suspects are set to appear in court later this year.

Such scenes leave me with a great deal of curiosity as I try to understand the origin of the torture methods applied in this footage. They lead to Rome; they lead to Europe. Today, those methods are being applied in Libya to harmless teenagers who are running for their lives.

That burning structure was a tent that sheltered a mother, her daughter, and her husband, who have been forced to live in the olive groves of Sfax since early 2023. The National Guard—now a Tunisian criminal entity funded by Europe—arrived and set it on fire without any remorse.

The Stasi needed 300,000 people to spy on dissidents. Today, governments can do it with a few clicks. Pegasus, Cellebrite & co. infiltrate our phones, turning intimate lives into data. Used even within the EU — they’re an always-illegitimate tool of control.

It's the same playbook everywhere. Righteous anger against the difficulties of living being redirected by the political classes and their backers towards those who find it hardest to defend themselves. It's ideal for cowards as it requires great courage and personal risk to take on the powerful.

I’m deeply disappointed that there’s no outrage or news coverage about the violent xenophobic attacks happening in Libya. Black African “migrants” are being looted and beaten to death, with many being driven out of sight and into concentration camps for extortion.
