Refugees Platform in Egypt, an independent organization working to defend human rights, support people on the move, and advocate for their rights, quoted the family of the two children as saying that the reason they were in the area was their work cleaning new buildings. The attackers, however, did not verify the matter and instead detained them under threat, beat them, and tied them to an electricity pole in front of everyone.

The EU Strengthens Cooperation with Cairo to Control Migration Amid Rising Departures of Egyptians

Although the reasons for the noticeable increase in Egyptians leaving vary from case to case, a researcher from Refugees Platform in Egypt (RPE), speaking on condition of anonymity, points to the poor state of the national economy and, above all, the stagnant political situation in the country, with the resulting absence of hope and prospects for a dignified future, as key drivers.

World Report on Human Rights (Egypt Events 2022)

In March, authorities deported 31 Eritreans, including eight children, after detaining them in poor conditions and preventing them from contacting UNHCR to submit asylum applications, according to Refugees Platform in Egypt. These summary deportations of Eritrean asylum seekers, which followed similar deportations in late 2021, violated the international legal prohibition on refoulement.

Sudanese People in Egypt: Racism Renewed with Every Crisis

Nour Khalil, executive director of Refugees Platform in Egypt, notes that such comments exist and continue, rising whenever there are crises or calls to receive refugees. He adds: “Some or most of the comments are copied, with a huge amount of misinformation being promoted about refugee numbers or the services provided to them, whether through nationalist appeals or claims that they will cause an economic problem.” Responding to the economic cost promoted by some as a reason to reject the presence of Sudanese people in Egypt, Khalil says that all migrants in Egypt of all nationalities number 6 million, while those registered as refugees and asylum seekers are fewer than 250,000. Migrants are also treated as foreigners in all matters, such as education, which is paid in foreign currency.

Egypt-Sudan Border Crisis: “It Is About Showing That We Need More Funding to Open Our Borders”

“Egypt allowed people to move during the first weeks of the conflict because they had money and passports, and many had families in Egypt, where we already have 4 million people from Sudan,” he said, adding: “Then they realized that many people were trying to move, and the number was growing very quickly. It will be a long war.”

Migrants in Libya Pay the Price for Haftar’s Financial Crisis

According to Nour Khalil, director of Refugees Platform in Egypt, “the continued European Union funding of dictatorial governments and armed militias in order to suppress migration has led to dangerous uses of this funding at the expense of migrants’ rights and lives.” Khalil noted that irregular migration has become a political pressure card used by these governments to blackmail the West and demand more political and financial support. He described the recent and ongoing security campaign against migrants in Libya, full of violations of their rights, as one face of this misuse caused by unaccountable EU and member-state funding and the absence of monitoring and accountability mechanisms. He considered it part of Europe’s plan to extend its borders and block migrants outside the European fortress, a plan that will not stop migration but will only obstruct it temporarily while greatly increasing the danger of the journey and the violations committed against migrants.
