Dr. Rebecca Walker (Research Associate, African Centre for Migration & Society) shares insights on SalaaMedia:
“Repatriation implies people choosing or consenting to return home, but what we are seeing is people being forcibly removed through violence without individual assessments, whether healthcare status or documentation status. This is deportation without following the right processes.”
“The humanitarian crisis has repercussions. What we are hearing from civil society and migrants themselves is that the situation is dire on the ground. The government is measuring the success of repatriation against immigration enforcement.”
