Somali girl's expulsion to Italy expected at dawn tomorrow

A 22-year-old Somali refugee faces expulsion from Germany to Italy as early as 4:30 AM tomorrow, with no indication that the order has been halted. Stefan Reichel, president of the German association "Matteo - Church and Asylum," expressed deep concern over the situation, stating that the German government has not rescinded the expulsion measure.

“

The German government has not withdrawn the measure and the procedure has not been stopped for now. On the other hand, Italy has made it known that it will not accept the migrants. A situation that worries us greatly and that does not take into account the human aspect of the situation and the impact it has on the people involved.

Adding to the complexity, Italy has reportedly declared it will not accept the migrants. Reichel criticized this stance, highlighting that it "does not take into account the human aspect of the situation and the impact it has on the people involved." He lamented the lack of empathy for the young woman, who has been living in a state of profound uncertainty for weeks.

“

It is truly sad to note that there is not a minimum of empathy towards this young woman, forced to live in a situation of total uncertainty about her fate, for weeks.

Reichel explained that the woman, given the pseudonym Faduma, is scheduled to be collected by police between 4:30 AM and 7:30 AM. Her past experience in Italy was described as "very dramatic," involving initial good reception in Lampedusa followed by a transfer to a poorly maintained center in Milan with inadequate hygiene and mixed-gender facilities.

Faduma (pseudonym) will be picked up by the police in the middle of the night between 4:30 and 7:30 AM and must be ready with her bags packed.

In contrast, Faduma is currently living in a well-managed reception facility in Schweinfurt, Bavaria. She is integrated with her mother, brother, and three sisters, all of whom are reportedly doing well. The sisters attend high school, and her brother is pursuing a vocational training course in IT.

“

In the past, she already had a very dramatic four-week experience in Italy. After a good welcome in Lampedusa, which lasted two days, she was transferred to Milan, in a center near the station kept in poor hygienic conditions, without a shower and with shared spaces between men and women.
