Call out for the first anniversary of the capsizing of 18 April 2015

NoFrontex” days of action

For a Mediterranean mobilization!

Call out from the Palermo Antiracist Forum

“How can Europe be shocked at the tragedy at sea, when embassies refuse our people visas and force the countries of North Africa to chase us down? Our only possibility is the sea and the “traffickers” become our only hope for fleeing to other countries.” (Malian refugee). There were 184 Malians among more than 800 people who drowned on the night between the 18^th and 19^th of April 2015 in their journey from Libya to Italy.

There were at least 3,771 deaths at sea in 2015 alone. Faced with this recurring tragedy, the EU grants ever more power and money to Frontex and projects like Triton. But Frontex is an agency for border control, built on the militarization of Europe's internal and external borders. Its mandate is to protect these borders, not to save human life.

Appel à une mobilisation méditerranéenne pour le premier anniversaire du naufrage du 18 Avril 2015 !

Invitation du Forum Antiraciste de Palerme

“Comment l’Europe peut s’étonner des tragédies en Mer si ses ambassades rejettent les visas à notre peuple et forcent aux pays du Maghreb à nous poursuivre. La mer demeure notre seule possibilité et les ‘trafiquants’ deviennent notre seul espoir quand on est forcé à quitter nos pays”

 (Refugié malien)

Parmi les 800 personnes qui ont péri noyées le soir du 18 au 19 avril 2015 pendant leur voyage de la Libye à l’Italie, 184 étaient maliens. On compte en 2015 au moins 3.771 migrants ayant perdu leurs vies dans la Méditerranée. Malgré ces tragédies, l’Union Européenne continue à donner de plus en plus de pouvoir à l’agence FRONTEX et aux missions comme TRITON. Mais Frontex est surtout une agence de contrôle frontalier basé sur la militarisation des frontières internes et externes de l’Europe dont le principal but est la défense du territoire et non la sauvegarde des vies humaines.

Newspaper: Ferries for All

For the Freedom of Movement and Equal Rights for All!
Campaign Newspaper from the transnational Project Alarmphone
The slogan “Ferries not Frontex”1 emerged in the days following the 18th of April 2015. More than 800 men, women and children drowned that day in the Central Mediterranean Sea. Only one week earlier, about 400 people had lost their lives in a similar ‘tragedy’. A tragedy? No! It could have been anticipated. The mass dying was a direct and foreseeable consequence of the EU border regime. And the dying continues. This border regime has a clear symbol: Frontex, the EU’s border agency. read more/continua...

Ferries not Frontex

10 points to really end the deaths of migrants at seaOn April 20, the Joint Foreign and Home Affairs Council of the EU released a ten- point action plan outlining their response to the recent deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea. Many other proposals have also been made over the last few days. We are activists who have been involved in the struggles against the European border regime for several years and who have been in touch on a daily basis with hundreds of people who have crossed the Mediterranean through Watch The Med and the Alarm Phone project. Faced with the hypocrisy of the “solutions” that have been proposed so far, we feel compelled to undermine their falsity and attempt to open up an alternative space for reflection and action. read more/continua...
