21 May 2024 – Europe supports, finances and is directly involved in clandestine operations in North African countries to dump tens of thousands of Black people in the desert or remote areas each year to prevent them from coming to the EU
For years, the EU has handed large sums of money to North African countries for “migration management”, aimed at reducing the number of people trying to reach Europe. The annual amount given has increased year-on-year, with the EU sending hundreds of millions of euros to individual countries in the last year alone.
The EU claims publicly that it monitors how this money is spent, and that it does not contribute towards human rights abuses against the people it is aimed at preventing from migrating. But the reality is different.
