 Migrant Voice - MV comments on deaths of migrants in Mozambique

In their weekly Race Review on 30 March, gal-dem addressed the issue of 64 migrants who died in a shipping crate on the back of a lorry in Mozambique. They were travelling along a recognised smuggling route.

The article included a response from MV Director, Nazek Ramadan:

“Today’s obsession with borders and the primacy of the nation state mean that, all too often, states demonise and scapegoat people who cross those borders. We need a worldwide change of perspective, a recognition that migration is normal and that people who cross borders aren’t a threat – ultimately, we need safe, legal routes.

“This tragedy will likely change nothing. But future deaths aren’t inevitable if governments start working together to create those vital routes to safety.”
