BBC Migrant crossings: Afghans are largest national group fleeing to UK 26 May 2022 By Joseph Lee

 2022年の最大集団になる模様。どうも昨年実績の1323名から、今年は3か月だけで1094名に達したとのこと。単純計算、3倍ペースですか。

People fleeing Afghanistan were the largest group among migrants crossing the Channel in the early part of 2022.

Afghans made up one in four people making the risky journey, following the Taliban's return to power last summer.


New figures show almost as many Afghans crossed the Channel in the first three months of this year (1,094) as in the whole of 2021 (1,323).

 そのほかはイラン人、イラク人。

After Afghans, the next most common nationalities on Channel crossings were Iranians (16% of the total in the first three months of 2022) and Iraqis (15%).

It meant that there were 4,540 people who crossed the channel to the UK in January to March this year, more than three times the number during the same time last year.

 というか、そもそも今年に入って、昨年実績の3倍ペースのようで…。

The number of passengers on each boat almost doubled in this period, with an average of 32 on each small boat compared to 18 during the same three months in 2021.

 ペース自体はべつにまあ。しかし一隻に乗る人数が2倍になったみたい。船の大きさはさほど変わらないだろうに。

It meant the number of people waiting for an asylum decision leapt from just over 66,000 to more than 109,000 in March 2022.

 そしてasylumの列もひたすら長くのびてゆく。

 そして亡命者のインタビュー記事。

BBC Afghan refugee rebuilds life in Northern Ireland 25 May 2022

An Afghan refugee who fled his country as a 15-year-old has said he "didn't make the decision to leave, you are forced to leave".

Abed, which is not his real name, now lives and works in Northern Ireland.

The 20-year-old's identity has been protected as his family in Afghanistan remain under threat from the Taliban.


 亡命の旅路については

"It was a bad experience and I do have bad memories but I try not to think about it.

"I try to forget most of them and leave them in the past and live my own life."


 亡命の手続きはもっと簡単になるのがのぞましい―と言うコメントもある。

 そういえば私は「亡命受け入れ・移民受け入れは慎重にすべき」と言う見解なのだが、それはこうした受け入れ態勢の問題もある。キャパの大問題。ではあるが、どうも政治家用語を転用したものか、一般人の会話でも「慎重にすべき」みたいな語法が「絶対反対」の意味合いで使用・理解されることがあるっぽいなあという、そんなメモを書き残しておこう。すっごい面倒。
