Middle East migrants seek refuge in Europe

20 Jul 2023  |  www.jpost.com
The article discusses the emerging situation where a significant number of refugees and migrants, primarily from Syria, are planning to leave Turkey for Europe. This movement is being referred to as the 'convoy of light' on social media. The situation is reminiscent of the 2015 crisis when many refugees traveled through Turkey to reach Europe, and the more recent incident where refugees were directed towards Belarus. The article highlights the deteriorating conditions for refugees in Turkey under President Erdogan's regime, including racism and the use of refugees as political tools. The Turkish government has previously used refugees to create crises with neighboring countries, and there are concerns that new offensives in Syria could displace more people. Activists and social media users are calling for media coverage and support for the refugees' journey to the EU, while the actual number of participants and the stance of the Turkish government remain uncertain.

How Smugglers Bring Migrants into EU Despite Poland’s New Wall on Belarus Border

19 Jul 2023  |  Balkan Insight
The article details the process and costs involved for migrants, particularly from the Middle East, to travel to Germany through Russia and Belarus with the help of smugglers. It describes the services provided by smugglers, including obtaining visas, arranging transportation, and coordinating border crossings. The smugglers use a network of contacts, such as universities and taxi companies, to facilitate the journey. The migrants pay for these services through 'insurance offices' in the Middle East, which release funds upon successful arrival at the destination. The article also highlights the risks and challenges faced by migrants, including navigating through 'forbidden areas' and dealing with border guards. Smugglers charge varying fees based on the route and the level of assistance provided, with some claiming higher success rates and coordination with authorities.

Russian Roulette: EU Dreams of Migrants Now Come Through Moscow

19 Dec 2022  |  balkaninsight.com
Migrants attempting to enter the EU are now using a new variation of the Eastern Land Route, flying to Moscow and then traveling to the Belarus-EU border, circumventing previous EU efforts to close routes through Minsk. This change follows EU pressure on third countries and airlines to reduce flights carrying migrants to Minsk. Despite the EU's intervention, Polish NGOs and the Polish Border Guard have noticed an increase in migrants with Russian visas. These migrants often face a perilous journey, with smugglers guiding them from Moscow to the EU border, and many experiencing violence, theft, and the risk of death. The Polish Border Guard has reported over 2,000 attempted entries via the Belarus-Polish border in recent months. The article details the process of obtaining Russian visas, the involvement of smugglers, and the dangers migrants face on this route.
