Echoes#22 – Borders kill. Solidarity fights back.

November 2026

From June to October 2026, across the Central Mediterranean, the EU and its member states have intensified their war on migration: expanding detention and deportation, strengthening Frontex, outsourcing border violence to third countries and criminalising those who move and who resist. From the persecution and displacement of racialised communities in Libya to deaths at sea and attacks on rescue organisations, the consequences of this regime are devastating and deliberate. 

Yet resistance is growing! Survivors are demanding justice, courts are pushing back against unlawful restrictions on rescue, and solidarity networks are growing across borders. From Libya to Greece, from the Central Mediterranean to the streets of Italy, struggles are connecting to resist repression, expose complicity and defend the right to move freely. Against borders and exclusion, solidarity fights back!
