(October 2020) The main concern of the United Nations system remains mass migration. There has been no change in this priority throughout the pandemic. More than tens of millions of people are on the move including millions of Afghans, Rohingyas, Africans, and Central Americans; at least hundreds of thousands are trapped against closed borders. Even as many countries are trying to secure their borders (Greece, United States), while others have aggressive open border policies (France, Germany, Italy), it is known that migrants infected with coronavirus are being pushed across borders. (Such statistics are unreliable as always.) While border closing is the only known effective way to reduce illegal immigration, especially in a time of pandemic, the World Health Organization has never changed its demand for unlimited “Free Movement”. Moreover, the UN Global Compact on Migration calls for open borders and equal rights and wealth between a country’s citizens and new migrants. The four major issues covered in these two volumes, among many others, are population replacement-based ethnic conflict in Kashmir, continuing Afghan mass migration to Europe (including the Moria Refugee Camp, Lesvos arson crisis), Rohingyas refugees in Bangladesh and elsewhere, and the Indian preference for non-Muslim asylum seekers from the region’s Muslim majority countries (Citizenship (Amendment) Act) and the worldwide Muslim response.
