A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They really shouldn't have omitted in the title that it's rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.
Sounds about right for the Swiss. If the Eritreans had money, though...
Yeah, Eritreans are a difficult group.. as they are actually 2 groups.
The first group left Eritrea in the previous civil war and have been refugees since the 90s. These are mostly pro-Afwerki, as he is the guy who then fought the opressive government to liberate Eritrea.
Since then Afwerki turned into a brutal autocrat and has spiked a second wave of refugees who are mostly younger and lived under Afwerki's brutal regime.
And then in Europe these 2nd wave refugees are confronted with 1st wave pro-Afwerki refugees who hold rallies, spy on their countrymen and report them causing their families back home to be arrested or worse.
So these 2 groups are at odds to put it mildly. Causing violent clashes, usually between large groups, mostly when the Afwerki group is holding one of their rallies.
It's really shitty to have to deal with. This is the case all over Europe btw. Switzerland is not alone with this issue, nor growing hardline stances. These types of issues fuel the right wing parties as it 'proves their point' and the inability for governments to stop it is an actual issue.
Deporting the useless and accepting the useful is a valid strategy for any government that is respecting its own people.
Which is why you should be deported immediately. I've heard Belarus will probably take you for a few hundred bucks. No need to deport you to a country you are actually citizen off, amirite?
You know nothing about me, stop projecting
Richtiger Michi.
Why are asylum seekers useless? Do you think they all fled their countries because they had no skills? I'm pretty sure they fled because their lives were in danger.
Also, there is a big difference between an illegal immigrant and an asylum seeker.
You're the one generalizing. Some are useful, some are not. Sorting and processing them should be done efficiently, which is what the swiss are trying to do.
I'm not sure how "deport all Eritrean asylum seekers" is an efficient way to sort them unless you think they are all unskilled, which is what you sure implied.
They're *rejected* asylum seekers. Now you may question the rejection criteria, but what do you do with people that don't meet your qualifications for entry, and can't be repatriated to their originating country because they won't accept them back without their consent?
Christ, you don't process asylum seekers based on skills. If you want to nab some rejected asylum seekers that way, sure, otherwise it's a humanitarian endeavour.
Like we 'processed' certain people during WW2? You seem like a disgusting neoliberal who got fat and cruel from all the accumulated wealth you probably 'worked very hard for'.
That's quite a leap, but also about what I expected.
Here come the fascists...
Asylum isn't some fancy, it's to help people in need when we have plenty to share.
Maybe us Swiss could use more people with a heart instead of miserable and cruel bastards like you.
My parents were married when I was conceived, making me decidedly not a bastard. And the times when europe had 'plenty to share' are long over.
Ummmm. Have you been around Europe lately?
There's a huge amount to share. It's astonishing really just how much money is here.
I feel the real gripe should be with the lack of taxation of the rich, resulting in the poor not having enough to share.
Those same rich are telling you that you don't have enough to share and to get angry at foreigners instead of themselves, misdirecting your anger.
Americans found it in their heart to have "plenty to share" to help Europe rebuild after the war even after being involved in the same war themselves. Most Europeans learned the moral lesson of that, but it seems you missed that memo.
Lol imagine unironically thinking that it was out of the goodness of the US's heart
The US in turn received major influence in europe and has since massively benefitted from that. We stand to gain nothing like that.
What do you call the strategy where you pretend to be neutral while making money off war, and stealing the gold and money from the victims of genocides?
Sound business?
