What’s going on in the border between Poland and Belarus? Well, long story short, it’s a Geopolitical crisis in which people in need are caught in the middle. Since August, thousands of migrants, most of them fleeing from the wars in Syria, Yemen and the dire situation in Iraq have amassed in Belarus’s border with Poland, attempting to cross to the European Union.
Leaders in Brussels saw this as a power move by Belarus’s president Alexander Lukashenko in response to the sanctions the European Union has imposed in the country following his violent crackdown on dissent and opposition politicians who challenged his victory in the presidential elections last year.
So, fast-forward to now, November 2021. Hundreds of migrants keep arriving to the border and the situation is increasingly tense. To make matters worse, journalists are facing increasing challenges in documenting what’s going on. And this is what we are going to talk Today, in short. My name is Javier Luque and with me, IPI’s Europe Advocacy Officer, Jamie Wiseman.
