4/4 Refugees and migrants are threatened online while being hunted in the streets of Tripoli amid reported mass arrests. After the attacks on humanitarian offices, there's serious concern the mobilisation will trigger more assaults, arrests and mass expulsions.

3/4 Sovereignty is enforced aggressively against Black and racialised sub-Saharan migrants as well as human rights monitoring, the UNHCR and IOM. Yet it's set aside when it comes to equipment, border infrastructure funding, and security and intelligence training through European partners.

2/4 The "No to Resettlement" movement frames its actions as defending Libyan sovereignty—under slogans like "Libya for Libyans." But look closer, and the sovereignty being asserted is strikingly selective.

A live show of Europe's brutal migration regime. Yesterday, our Seabird 3 witnessed a distress case, and while @sos-humanity.bsky.social's ship Humanity1 was in position and could have rescued about 10 people from a rubber boat, a Libyan RHIB got there first.

4/4 ➡️ The movement of people from Morocco to Europe is not a crisis of borders but a symptom of systemic failures. When legal pathways are closed, migration becomes survival. EU’s focus on securitization ignores the causes: poverty, repression, inequality.
021
Migration-Control.Info @migcontrol.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
3/4 ➡️ Morocco’s economy is deeply unequal. Youth unemployment is high & rural poverty endemic. 2 million work in the informal sector with no security. Remittances represent a significant proportion of the income for the poor population.

Migration-Control.Info @migcontrol.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
2/4 ➡️ The EU’s engagement with Morocco is fundamentally asymmetric. EU funds border security but prioritizes European interests over human rights. Trade agreements benefit corporations, not Moroccan workers. Visa restrictions treat migration as a security threat.

1/4 📣 The recent events in Ceuta have sparked a debate dominated by populist hysteria, euro-centrism, and misinformation. Morocco’s socio-economic, political challenges, and EU externalization impacts are ignored. Our wiki (EN/FR/DE) provides a deeper view: migration-control.info/en/wiki/morocco/

Nochmal in der zweiten Kammer vor Gericht bestätigt: Die #Zurückweisungen an den deutschen Grenzen sind rechtswidrig. Dobrindt ignoriert das und setzt ein Zeichen an die EU-Staaten: #GEAS-Reform hin oder her: macht ruhig alle weiter mit illegalen #Pushbacks. Menschenrechte zählen nicht.
