Venezuela’s vice president has vowed that her country will press ahead with a referendum on the future of a large tract of mineral-rich territory that it claims in a long-running dispute with neighboring Guyana.
Because both sides were once controlled by Georgia, with no official agreement to separate them, the "border" fence runs right through many people's farms and even back yards.
Wounded in northern #Gaza risk #dying ‘in hours’: MSF
Wounded in northern Gaza risk dying ‘in hours’: #MSF #Doctors#Without#Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF) has warned that thousands of wounded people in northern Gaza “are in serious danger of dying in the next few hours because it’s becoming impossible to get #medical attention”.
New at my Patreon... There's something exciting about crossing international borders by train, ferry, bus, or on foot. Here are my highlights of those crossings:
Frontex, dass wohl als eine von der EU eigens zur gnadenlosen Bekämpfung von Menschen in Not eingerichtete Agentur bezeichnet werden kann, baut die Überwachung immer weiter aus.
Mit Millionensummen werden hier neue Überwachungs- und Kontrolltechniken an den Schwächsten und Wehrlosesten erprobt und verfeinert.
Wir sollten nicht zulassen, dass immer mehr sichtbare und unsichtbare Grenzen um uns herum gezogen werden, die uns alle zu Gefangenen machen!
Mauern einreißen! Frontex versenken!
BORDERS, MILITARY, COPS AND DETENTION CENTER FOR REPATRIATION :
A NEW ACCELERATION OF STATE #RACISM IN ITALY [PART 1]
"We receive and disseminate the first part of a text written by several hands by comrades fighting against Detention Center for Repatriation and #borders between #Italy and #France.
(...)
Talks about repeated “migration crises” are a great classic of domestic and #European politicians and newspapers. These narratives serve to justify the repression and exploitation of migrant people on European soil.
(...)
This text wants to try to dwell on some recent changes (especially from the legislative point of view) to give some small elements of analysis to those who fight against state racism, its jails and its borders. In particular, we will try to trace the latest developments concerning the role of Frontex in Europe, the trends in some European countries on the issue of administrative detention and deportations, and the latest decrees in Italy."
Want to see atmospheric yet often really mundane border photos? My online 🇨🇭🇫🇷 walking journal is moving here, as I’m enjoying this new online atmosphere. (I’m freezing new posts on Twatter & just ‘name-holding’ my account.)

A walk of contrasts today, with many brambles, some light trespassing into a gravel quarry, pretty countryside and industrial stretches between Bardonnex & Croix-de-Rozon. #Borders#geography#borderWalk
Anyone care to sponsor me to buy this abandoned border post? This would be my dream drawing studio for finishing my border comic! Maybe I need a fundraising project here, or a spare 450’000 Swiss Francs, or a real bestseller? Hmmm… #borderWalk#walkingEthnography #borders#geography#academicFunding#prettyPlease
Not walking today, but exploring the state archives, and the Mappe Sarde dating back to when parts of what is now the Canton of Geneva where part of other kingdoms. Just beautiful to see the mini painted landscapes, in still-fresh watercolours, showing places we have walked. #geography#borders#visualMethods#maps#oldMaps
