Before the Crossing: Sub-Saharan Migrants in Tunisia
Ilaria Romano 6 October 2023

A reportage about the sub-Saharian migrants who arrived in Tunisia with the idea of embarking and reaching Italian shores after grueling journeys and long periods of detention behind them, spent in migrant centers in Libya. In many of their stories, they have already attempted the crossing to the Italian island of Lampedusa, but have been stopped and sent back by the National Guard, or have been left at the mercy of the waves with their engine failing before being brought back to shore by some passing fishing boat

An initiative that goes against our culture
it
de
Rosmarie Zapfl-Helbling 25 November 2010
The popular initiative ‚Against the Construction of Minarets’ stands in opposition to basic human rights and endangers the religious peace. What I found most outrageous in the campaign was the image on the poster where, next to minaret towers, a burqa-clad person was shown. That was the point: hyping up fears by using exactly what the initiative set out to prohibit. The initiative was not against minarets - it directed itself against an entire religion. This is not worthy of a governing party. It was an embarrassing situation which once more went to prove how many of our fellow citizens are prone to being manipulated by a few agitators and to help them get the vote.
