African migrants

France 24 has published an international investigation into the Trump administration's migrant policy, focusing on deportations of migrants to African countries. The report examines where deported individuals are being sent, the conditions they face, and the agreements behind these removals. The investigation has drawn significant attention as the deportations remain one of the most contested aspects of the administration's immigration agenda.

Tens of thousands of people have taken part in a right-wing protest in Ceuta over the migrant crisis in the Spanish enclave on the North African coast. Demonstrators gathered amid ongoing tensions over arrivals of migrants from Morocco, an issue that has repeatedly strained relations between Madrid and Rabat and fueled political debate in Spain over border controls and immigration policy.

A compiled timeline documents xenophobic incidents in South Africa, tracing patterns of violence and discrimination against foreign nationals. Rights groups have long raised concerns about attacks on migrants, particularly African immigrants, in townships and urban areas. The timeline highlights recurring episodes and calls on authorities to address impunity and protect foreign nationals living in the country.

Italian police responding to help a colleague detaining a migrant failed to brake in time, hitting both the officer and the man. Neither was seriously injured. The incident is drawing attention amid wider online debate in Italy about migration and policing.

Burundi has agreed to accept migrants deported from the United States who are not its own citizens, under a 'third-country' deportation arrangement pursued by the Trump administration. The deal makes Burundi one of a small group of African and other nations willing to receive deportees sent to countries they have no ties to. Observers are questioning the terms of the agreement and the safety of those sent there.

At the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, the International Commission of Jurists and Human Rights Watch jointly called for stronger protection of Black African migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Tunisia and Libya. The organisations urged states to address abuses faced by people trying to cross the Mediterranean, including detention, violence and exploitation along the main North African migration routes.

EU lawmakers say Rwanda has signalled willingness to accept migrants transferred from Europe, reopening a controversial outsourcing model after the UK's abandoned Rwanda scheme. The reported openness is drawing attention in European migration debates, where governments are searching for third-country partnerships to manage asylum arrivals. Critics have long questioned the legality and ethics of relocating asylum seekers to African countries.

Spain's king has said that managing the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta is a responsibility shared by the entire European Union, not Spain alone. The statement came after a surge of arrivals into the Spanish North African enclave highlighted the pressure on border management. His remarks underline Madrid's push for solidarity and support from EU partners in handling migration at its external frontiers.

Burundi has announced it will accept migrants deported from the United States, but officials have given few specifics about how many people could be returned or under what conditions. The pledge makes Burundi one of the African countries willing to take deportees as the US expands removals to third countries, and questions remain about timing, screening and treatment of those sent back.
