Ali and the other announced dead
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa /by Borderline SiciliaWe would have liked to start the year differently, we would have liked the opportunity to embrace and welcome Ali, but it was not possible. We would have liked to not have to write for the umpteenth time how our policies have continued to kill again this year, or how the journalism that uncritically reports […]
Humanity Drowns On Lampedusa
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa /by Borderline SiciliaThe Italian government has always used the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean as a place to experiment with immigration policies. And the Lampedusans have always been treated as guinea pigs by different governments over the years in order to see how much can be tolerated.
Chronicles of a serious law infringement in the Hotspot of Lampedusa
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa /by Borderline SiciliaPress release – Despite the sentence of the European Court of Human Rights on the Khlaifia case, arbitrary detentions, mass expulsions and the negation of the right to asylum continue to happen. Mister M. has been on a hunger strike for 4 days. With him, around 200 fellow Tunisians locked up in the Hotspot centre […]
Ever More Isolated and Alone
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaCastellana, Collesano, Geraci, Isnello, Palazzo Adriano, Ciminna, San Cipirrello, Villafrati, Marineo and Godrano: these are just some of the provincial wards where there are now Extraordinary Reception Centres, or CAS*, in the province of Palermo. There are centres dispersed among the hills of the Madonie mountain range, centres which follow on from a logic of […]
No One Is Meant To Know
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaAt the recent Paris talks, representatives from France, Italy, Germany, Spain and the EU confirmed their shared political line of cooperating with dictatorial states, of being the de facto ATM for blood thirsty regimes whose task is, and will increasingly be, to block people departing for Europe at all costs. It is important that nothing […]
The Reception System in Agrigento, Trapani and Palermo: Between Disorganisation, Chaos and Abandonment
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo, Trapani/Milo /by Borderline SiciliaThe deadly game does not stop. Europe has found a way out, and the only consequence will be the death of an entire society. The refrain we hear everyday is of an “invasion” and “help them in their own countries”. These phrases have contributed to the return of a regurgitated racism, spreading out across our […]
I’m Starting To Be Scared For My Children
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaThe Minniti-Orlando decree, now law, came into force in a deeply concerning way the past few days, with raids across Italy, rejection notices from the police stations and deportations from the Hotspots. The style is fascist, even if the law was signed off by two politicians who, in theory, ought to be fighting fascism. This […]
Making Money Is The Only Goal. Murder Is Simply Collateral Damage
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Caltanissetta /by Borderline SiciliaThe member states of Europe are spearheading a campaign to criminalise the NGOs saving lives at sea. The reason is that these organisations do not share the political line of a European community which manufactures massacres year after year, one which has turned the Mediterranean into an unprecedented mass grave. And more than this, the […]
Serious Violations of Rights on Lampedusa
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa /by Borderline SiciliaIn these times, so arid from the standpoint of humanity, the question which we keep asking of ourselves is at what point can we push ourselves further. The direction is clear: walls, rejections, abandonment. Those paying the price of these inhumane political choices are migrants themselves, ending up as cannon fodder in Libya (a country […]
Lampedusa Counts the Dead.
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa /by Borderline SiciliaThe sea doesn’t discriminate. It knows no racism, but swallows everything we offer it. And the Lampedusans will cry, and continue to count and gather the dead. A dead who have no common denominator save for being brought down by this system: fishermen who brave the waves to be able to live, to feed their […]
