July 17 were released the 205 Eritreans who were imprisoned in military Braq and then had been moved. In hand, have a residence permit valid for three months. Then go back into hiding.
"What will happen in three months when the residence permit expires?" Asks father Mussie Zerai, director of the NGO in Rome Habeshia and Eritrea as the vast majority of immigrants released from the center of Braq. Over the weekend, after their release, Mussie father has talked with several of them. He says that the residence permits granted to allow the Tripoli Libya and Italy to "reduce tension" on an awkward affair, which had finally occupied even news agencies and newspapers.
According to the Libyan ambassador in Rome, Hafed Guddur, more than 200 Eritrean refugees released from the center of Sabha in the region "will re-enter into society, finding employment and accommodation." The Director of Habeshia, however, stressed that the expiration of three months the migrants are likely to return to be "illegal" in a country where they can not even apply for political asylum. "The only solution - Mussie claims father - is the resettlement of the Eritreans in Italy or in Europe, where it is respected the Geneva Convention of 1951 on the Status of Refugees. "
Saturday, after the issue of migrants, other bodies engaged in human rights had stressed the importance it had not been decided on deportations to Eritrea. A good thing too Mussie second father, but warns: "Europe has built a wall without doors, keeping out even the migrants fleeing from conflict or authoritarian regimes, from Somalia, Eritrea or from Darfur."
Even Christopher Hein, Director of the Italian Centre for Refugees [Cir], "the matter is not closed, it is true, but at least for the migrants are free and do not risk deportation. " According to Hein's many questions remain to be resolved, especially since migrants are 'asylum seekers in a country that does not recognize the refugee status. " In Libya, recalls the director of CIR, the office of the High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR / UNHCR] system operates at very low and the work of international organizations remains difficult although in recent years there have been some openings. In this context, marked by negotiation and diplomatic tensions, has entered the weekend's announcement of the ambassador of Tripoli Italia sulla chiusura dei 18 centri di detenzione per migranti in territorio libico. «In queste strutture – dice Hein – erano prigionieri circa 4 mila migranti, una chiusura segnalerebbe un cambiamento di politica rilevante».
Aiuta a capire una testimonianza rilasciata da Lawrence Hart, responsabile a Tripoli dell’Organizzazione internazionale per le migrazioni [Oim], secondo il quale non bisogna parlare di «chiusura» ma di «sanatoria».
«Le strutture si sono svuotate e agli ex detenuti sono stati dati permessi di soggiorno di due o tre mesi – sottolinea Hart – ma negli ultimi giorni i fermi di migranti sono continuati, sia sulla terraferma che in mare». Secondo il Cir almeno 11 of Eritreans deported to the center of Braq were rejected by the Italian Navy as they tried to reach the Sicilian island of Lampedusa on boats.
MISNA source in Libya read the releases of the weekend as part of the complex relations between Tripoli and Europe: "It's like saying 'we can not do it', which is easy to criticize without assuming responsibility in terms of reception."
