The truth behind Europe’s migration policy | DW Documentary

Activism

Thousands of people from Africa attempt to reach Europe via the Mediterranean. The EU is disrupting these routes and outsourcing its border control responsibilities to countries in the Sahara and Sahel regions, in a bid to stem irregular migration. Billions of euros are being spent. Some of the money goes towards migration partnerships and programs with African countries, like Libya. But NGOs warn that funding is indirectly benefiting militia-linked networks and contributing to human rights abuses.

How about tackling the problem that forces these people to flee their homeland? It’s ridiculous—the problem must be addressed there so that these poor people can live in peace!! Until that happens, this misery will never end! Tackle the root causes!! Not the victims—they can’t help it—otherwise nothing will ever change.

We the people already have a holistic understanding. Sorry we can not say the same about dangerous people in Brussels. Our goal is a strong and safe Europe.

What a ridiculous report, with all the AI-generated dramatic content. And by the way, we already have hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into Europe every year, imagine how many it would be if we wouldn't pay Libya, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco to try to stop the boats leaving? It would be a lot more and we Europeans don't want that.

If you use AI generation, no one will believe what you have to say.

They fund militias because that's the kind of "government" you find in those countries. If there were democracies they would fund democracies. Better this that drowning in the sea, or get deported after a long journey. Don't be naive, this is the least cruel way possible.

Its not news that the EU is funding criminals. There is Frontex for example. And then there are also militias and warlords. All spent to keep migrants away and run down economies dwindling in size to ensure later poverty in europes countries. Guess what the money is spent on? Corrrect: Weapons, Dictatorships and Terrorism. What a stupid strategy.

They finance them to destroy white christians, NOT to stop them depopulating homelend. Open your mind guys, please, this is serious subject.

AI generated images? Hard to imagine in reality a gun of that size and supposed caliber mounted in the bed of a Toyota Hilux.

You are not supposed to be acting for Africans or UAE you are paid to deliberate towards the interests of Europeans not use your position to exercise your own ideology.
