Neither I, nor other migration researchers, can explain it.
But migration researchers have shown it is no silver bullet.
Writing in African Arguments, migration researchers Maimuna Mohamud and Cindy Horst said the Khartoum Process represented a "worrying precedent".
Migration researchers say that although the closure of the Balkans humanitarian corridor has reduced migration numbers, it has forced many people to seek more dangerous routes to northern Europe.
Another controversial idea, raised off and on during the past two decades by migration researchers, is to set up large processing centers for asylum claims to Europe in countries like Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon.
This is due to two interrelated assumptions that are widespread among migration researchers and policy-makers.
In this broader context, LAMICs must not only increase their research funding but also build research capacity (e.g., trained researchers, technical support, peer networks, cooperative endeavors, migration of researchers) and create a viable research environment (e.g., research culture, availability of time, incentives, administrative support).
However, outside of studies of forced migration, few researchers have examined the pre-departure period as important for understanding the context of the migration experience.
Analyses revealed that the swifts never settled to roost while in Africa, not even to rest after their 2000-kilometer migrathen, the researchers report today in Nature Communications.
Comparing changes in these magnetic stripes with known patterns of the African plate during its long northeastern migration, the researchers estimate that the Herodotus Basin is 315 million to 365 million years old.
