Reflections on trafficking: the sexual exploitation of Nigerian women in Palermo
/in Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaOn the night of April 4th, as part of Operation No-Fly Zone, Palermo’s flying squad dealt a serious blow to Eiye, a Nigerian crime ring dealing in drugs and prostitution. At least 13 individuals were arrested. The following day, press attention focussed solely on the danger posed by these Nigerian gangs, emphasising their initiation rites […]
Khadim’s unending night
/in Monitoring, Palermo /by Borderline Sicilia“How are you brother, can I offer you a coffee? I would like to see you again even if only briefly, I am in Palermo because I need to renew my residency permit.”
The Shadow of Racism Over Our Cities
/in Monitoring, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaAndrea Camilleri speaks of Fascism as a virus that changes over time, one that has never been wiped out and returns more insidiously each time, doing its evil work as it has always done. And at the same time, racism – an essential part of Fascism – continues to spread and infect not only minds […]
What Remains of Welcoming
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaWhile the Mare Ionio saves 49 people, the war of tweets is starting up to smear the Italian NGO Mediterranea Saving Humans. This rescue mission demonstrates that people continue to leave and die at sea, or in Libya where they are brought back to and tortured – with our money.
The Reception System Collapses
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo, Trapani/Milo /by Borderline SiciliaWe are living in a permanent electoral campaign. The most recent elections saw even more false statements, in a climate already poisoned by a total deprivation of objective facts. The site Missing Migrants speaks very clearly: there has been a drastic fall in the number of landings but an equal number of migrant deaths as […]

/in Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaFinally a new drop-in service for migrants will open in Bagheria.
Turn The Computer Off and The Brain On
/in Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaA government that puts people in the cross-hairs is inhumane and violent. A form of Europe that claims to be open but in fact is killing people is symptomatic of our society’s decay. The migrant manhunt continues, sparing no one, not even children. One of the recent cruel acts carried out by Europe was the […]
They’re Banned From Celebrating
/in Palermo, Trapani/Milo /by Borderline SiciliaDo you remember Jamel, Loti, Nashreddine, Nassim, Rabah and Ramsi?
Boys on the Outside. Activists on the Inside.
/in Catania/Mineo, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaThe day before yesterday the head of stat gave the green light for the most unjust and inhumane law since the post-war period till today. We know from experience that this is a law that will hurt everyone (other than ‘first the Italians’) because it attacks rights, and that cannot help anyone (other than traffickers […]
A Lack of Respect for Humanity
/in Agrigento/Lampedusa, Palermo /by Borderline SiciliaHow many times have we heard our grandparents, or our elders more generally, say “there’s no respect any more.” Whether on the street, at school or at home one feels and sees a shift in values, and it is within this that a certain politics has established itself, a politics almost entirely deprived of humanity […]
