A special issue of REHMU on African Migration

“Break the silence about Africa” is what Roberto Marinucci states in the editorial of the special REHMU edition on African migration, issued by the Centro Scalabriniano de Estudos Migratorios (CSEM). Revista Interdisciplinar da Mobilidade Humana (REHMU) is a Brazilian scientific magazine that covers issues on migration. Robert Marinucci discusses in the editorial about how the media covers up issues surrounding African migration, and especially the causes of forced displacement: military interventions, exploitation of workers, violation of human rights and land grabbing.

The first part of the magazine therefore consists of articles discussing some of these causes listed above, titled “Migrations in Africa: Actors, Impacts and Challenges”. The authors in this section focus on forced migration, particularly in Mozambique and Angola, related to issues such as political destabilization, armed conflict, ethnic and religious persecutions, as well as climate and environmental problems.

The second part of the magazine focusses back on Latin American migration. In the last part of the magazine, titled “Reports and Reflections”, a last article discusses a specific example of how the church is involved and works with migrants in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
