The legal situation is precarious for recognised refugees who have already been granted protection status in Greece and have subsequently travelled on to Germany. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) regularly rejects asylum applications in these cases as ‘inadmissible’ (Section 29 of the Asylum Act). The reasoning seems logical from a formal point of view: protection has already been granted in another EU country, so Germany is not responsible. read more

The death toll in the recent shipwreck in The Gambia has been updated to at least 31 people, up from a previous tally mentioning only seven victims. The overloaded migrant boat was reportedly carrying over 200 people on New Year's Eve when it capsized in Atlantic waters, with 102 survivors confirmed thus far. It remains unclear how many others exactly might be dead, but with time running out, the death toll is likely to rise further. read more

What the SPD and CDU/CSU coalition government, in power since May 2025, is celebrating as a ‘migration turnaround’ means one thing above all else: people are being abandoned, rights are being violated and the distinction between the political centre and the right is becoming blurred. 2025 was a particularly bitter year for refugee protection. read more

Europe's platitudes in the face of Donald Trump's racist and anti-democratic rhetoric about Europe are worrying. Is this complacency, or a political unwillingness to confront our neighbour from the other side of the Atlantic? What is certain is that Trump’s vision of resurrecting a white, Christian Europe is providing fuel for his European supporters, who view Europeans of colour through the tired lens of migration 'crises', threats to identity and endless integration tests. read more

Asylum applications in the EU+ countries continued to decrease in 2025, continuing a downward trend from 2024. A changing political situation in Syria as well as more restrictive policies in the EU contributed to the fall in numbers, but a persisting displacement crisis in Sudan, instability in the Sahel, and a lack of economic perspectives for young populations in South Asian countries have meant that large numbers of people continue to flee, including to the EU. read more
