Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Eritreans have been among the top nationalities arriving at Mediterranean shores in the last few years. In 2014 they were second largest group of arrivals in Italy, after Syrians, with over 34,000 individuals, and in 2015 they were the most represented nationality (over 39,000) among migrants and refugees travelling the so-called Central Mediterranean route. These asylum seekers usually undertake their journeys overland from Eritrea through Ethiopia and Sudan to Libya. From there they embark on makeshift vessels to reach Italy which represents a transit point to their preferred final destinations, usually located in Northern Europe. |
