Irregular Migration or Human Trafficking? The Realities of Cross-border Population Mobility in Western Sudan
Original version
Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute (Sudan Brief 2020:1) 4 p.Abstract
A new public discourse labels irregular migration as human trafficking. The new discourse has been shaped by emerging globalized migration patterns and the increased securitization of Europe’s borders. This brief traces the history of Sudan as an origin and transit country of migration, and examines the discrepancies between the self-image of the actors who facilitate irregular migration and the policy makers who try to stop it.
