Save the date for our next event for our project ‘Anti-Racist Digital Resource Sharing’ under the theme “Racism Kills at the Eur-African Borders From Awareness to Action“, in collaboration with the Chkoun Collective.
Program and details can be found on IG @eyfa_berlin or check out Chkoun on their socials.
About the event
Anti-Black racism across Northern Africa—though deeply rooted in histories of slavery, colonialism, and nation-building—remains largely erased or denied in public discourse. This erasure persists despite the increasing violence faced by Black populations in countries like Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. From state-sponsored anti-Black policies and border militarization to the everyday acts of racial violence and social exclusion, Black North Africans and Black migrants and refugees in the region face multilayered oppression at the crossroads of race, nationality, gender, and class.
Today, these realities are sharpened by Europe’s externalization of its border regime. Northern African states are not only complicit in but active agents of racialized migration control. This has led to violent pushbacks, arbitrary detentions, and all sorts of human rights violations, disproportionately affecting Black people on the move and Black residents without state protection.
Join us for an afternoon of learning, discussion, exchange, and creating or solidifying BIPoC networks for social justice.
