While Europe opens its borders to Ukrainian refugees, it has made them deadly for African refugees to cross.
To keep out these refugees who are fleeing war and economic destabilization because of Europe’s exploitation of Africa, the EU is externalizing its borders, pushing them into Africa by financing border patrols and agencies such as FRONTEX, as well as repressive governments on the continent.
The result is more militarization, the criminalization of people who assist migrants and thousands of deaths, as migrants are forced towards ever-more dangerous routes through the desert.
redfish traveled to the Nigerien city of Agadez, a gateway to the Sahara and a historical hub on centuries-old migration routes. There we met the victims of these new militarized borders and found people who have been forced back home by EU-funded agencies to potentially life-threatening situations, deteriorating economic conditions, and been subjected to the horror of the EU’s cooperation with criminal states like Libya, all in the name of protecting “Fortress Europe”.
This week marks the one year anniversary of the Hanau shootings, when on February 19th 2020 Tobias R. killed nine people by targeting two shisha bars in Hanau, central Germany. All of the victims had immigrant backgrounds. The authorities' inaction before and during the crime raises many questions. We spoke wiith Çetin Gültekin, brother of Gökhan Gültekin, who was one of the victims of the Hanau shootings.

Poland today is often associated with far-right nationalism, and since winning the election in 2015, the right-wing Law & Justice Party has targeted immigrants, women, the LGBT+ community and emboldened the far-right. But what about those who are fighting back?
Activist Dan Glass, whose Polish-Jewish grandmother witnessed the Warsaw ghetto go up in flames, went on a personal and political journey to meet the people resisting the resurgence of the Polish far-right.

The 2016 peace deal between Colombia's government and FARC rebels should have ended one of the world's longest civil wars. But Colombia's right-wing government has been accused of refusing to honour the deal and with over 700 activists, journalists, and FARC members murdered since the deal, peace remains out of sight.
redfish travelled to Colombia to speak with human rights defenders and victims of the war to hear about the struggle for peace and the fight for justice.

Colombia has been rocked by eight consecutive days of protests and strikes against the US-backed government. What started as a march against a corporate-friendly tax policy has morphed into a nationwide movement decrying the right-wing Duque administration.

Over 70 years after the genocide of the Roma during the Holocaust, discrimination towards this community remains widespread across Europe. Italy's interior minister Matteo Salvini wants to deport them en-masse and anti-Roma hate crimes are commonplace.
Is Romaphobia the last "acceptable form of racism" in Europe?
