  1. #ForcedRelocation is nothing new... The #USA is quite good at it... Unfortunately!

    Mapping how the U.S. forcibly took #IndigenousLands

    Not long after the #GreatAmericanExperiment began, the newly established nation set its sights west. Here's how a series of conflicts, forged treaties, and #ForcedMigration led to the loss of a majority of Indigenous lands.

    "For the citizens of the newly established United States, the vast territory of North America (and the land of plenty it represented) seemed theirs for the taking. But these lands, some of the richest on Earth, had already been settled and stewarded for thousands of years by #IndigenousPeoples. Though their numbers had already dwindled due to new diseases and conflict with settlers, in 1776 approximately 250,000 #IndigenousPeople still lived within the territory delimited by the current borders of the U.S. The young nation, however, was intent on expansion—and set its sights on Indigenous land. Over the years, tribal interests and sovereignty would be trampled time and time again. Although land loss is the most visible consequence of dispossession, Indigenous customs, culture, and language (all firmly rooted in the land) were also under attack."

  3. Many Ukrainian refugees in Germany do not plan to stay permanently – those with fewer resources are more inclined to settle, while the highly educated often plan to return.

  5. For displaced #BIPOC folks who had to flee their homelands, as kids & had resettled as refugees under asylum, into Global North regions, only.

    When was the first time you experienced #racism - after being displaced from your homelands & starting over in a Global North place?

  7. Wo sind eigentlich die DP-Gedenkstätten?

    Im Mai 1945 befanden sich zwischen 6,5 und 11 Millionen „Displaced Persons” auf dem Gebiet der westlichen Besatzungszonen Deutschlands. Im Gegensatz zur umfassenden KZ-Gedenkstättenlandschaft sind die meisten ehemaligen DP-Lager heute unsichtbar, wurden abgerissen oder umgenutzt, ohne dass Hinweise auf ihre Geschichte angebracht wurden 👇

  9. The Herds

    The Herds is a public arts initiative with an aim to bring awareness to the the issues of climate change - which often results in the forced migration of animal species. The Herds will travel 12,400 miles and visit 20 cities across four months to “flee climate disaster,” with the group making their way from the Congo Basin through Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Norway - finishing in the Arctic Circle in August.

    The puppets are made primarily from recycled materials: cardboard for the skin and rubber for the joints.

    As it travels, the herd will be joined by new locally created puppets representing local species, such as vervet monkeys in Nigeria, wolves and red deer in Europe, and reindeer in Norway. Sadly, some puppets will also 'die' along the route

  11. ...we’ve identified three new trends in how European countries are erecting barriers:

    - borders are being heavily policed and the resources used to manage the borders have transformed

    - Europe-based NGOs that support migrants are being harassed

    - the asylum process is being exported or subcontracted, to African countries.

    The EU’s “fortress” approach is a waste of resources that could be put to better use in more humane and sustainable ways. No matter what measures European countries take, irregular migration will continue. Mobility is natural to human life. People will always seek out better options.

  13. Between 1932 and 1948, Yosef Weitz was the director of the Jewish National Fund's Land Settlement Department. He wrote in his diary:

    On 1941, June 22:
    "The land of Israel is not small at all, if only the [Palestinian] Arabs will be removed, and if its frontiers would be enlarged a little; to the north all the way to Litani [River in Lebanon], and to the east including the Golan Heights […] while the Arabs be transferred to northern Syria and Iraq […] From now on we must work out a secret plan based on the removal of the Arabs from here [and] to include it into American political circles."

    On 1941, June 26:
    "Through out the journey my reflections were focused on [the plan] of evacuating the country for us [the settlers]. Only through population transfer will redemption come […] There is no room for us with our neighbours […] They [the natives] are too many and too much rooted [in the country]. The only way is to cut and eradicate them from the roots. […] People and money will be transferred there. We will set up an apparatus from the Yishuv manned by distinguished experts and these will supervise the [Palestinian] Arab transfer and resettlement and a second apparatus will receive the [Jewish] redeemers and plant them in the land."

    On 1948, April 28:
    "Khayriyah and Saqiyah [two Palestinian Arab villages in the coastal plain] have also been cleared out. My plan is getting implemented."

    In 1949:
    "[During the British Mandate period, the JNF had purchased land] crumb by crumb. But now a great change has taken place before our eyes. The spirit of Israel, in a giant thrust, has burst through the obstacles, and has conquered the keys to the land, and the road to fulfillment has been freed from its bonds and its guardians-enemies [referring to the natives]. Now, only now, the hour has come for planning considered [regional] plans […] The abandoned lands will never return to their absentee [Palestinian Arab] owners."

  15. ⬆️ Partition of #British #India saw #forcedMigration of over 15 million, but neither #India nor #Pakistan called for the #elimination of the other ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

    There were civil riots and plenty of deaths, but both countries largely accepted the #TwoStateSolution.

    #Palestinians rejected similar solution from #UN for the 1947 partition of British #Palestine.

    Instead, they let external forces fight for Palestinians #inTheirName only and gave up EVERYTHING in the process.

  16. Fossil fuel combustion kills

    Quantifying Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Human Deaths to Guide Energy Policy

    "This is the first review to analyze the substantial body of literature that enables approximate quantitative estimation of the human cost of carbon emissions, measured in lost human lives."

    "When attempting to quantify future harms caused by carbon emissions and to set appropriate energy policies, it has been argued that the most important metric is the number of human deaths caused by climate change."

    "If warming reaches or exceeds 2 °C this century, mainly richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion mainly poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming, which is comparable with involuntary or negligent manslaughter."

    "Despite repeated and ever more serious warnings from the scientific community, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere continue to increase as fossil fuel combustion increases."

    "Measuring carbon emissions in human lives not only makes the numbers easier to understand for nonexperts but also clarifies energy policy priorities: clearly, allowing a policy to cause manslaughter is intuitively unacceptable."

  18. Climate Change Is Killing Languages

    Forced migration is a major cause of language extinction. Environmental disasters are driving these displacements in the very regions richest in languages.
