By Dr. ENKELEIDA TAHIRAJ 12 Annex B: Review of the Home Office Country of Origin Information (COI) on Bangladesh: Minority Religious Groups (March 2016); and Political Opponents (February 2015); and 10 responses to COI requests by Joseph Allchin 59 Annex C: Review of the November 2016 UK Home Office Country Information on Egypt: Country policy and information note on Christians; country policy and information note on the Muslim Brotherhood; and a selection of country of origin information responses by Dr. Dalia Malek. 89 Annex D: Review of the Home Office Country of Origin Information (COI) on Sri Lanka: Tamil Separatism (August 2016); Journalists, media professionals and human rights activists (September 2015); and 10 responses to COI requests by Liz Williams. 144 Annex E: Minutes of the Independent Advisory Group Meeting held on 27 March 2017. 193 Foreword The UK Borders Act 2007 Section 48 (2)(j) states that the [Independent] Chief Inspector [of Borders and Immigration] “shall consider and make recommendations about” ... “the content of information about conditions in countries outside the United Kingdom which the Secretary of State compiles and makes available, for purposes connected with immigration and asylum, to immigration officers and other officials.” The Independent Advisory Group on Country Information (IAGCI) is a panel of experts and practitioners, created to assist the Chief Inspector in this task. The IAGCI commissions and quality assures reviews of country information produced by the Home Office’s Country Policy and Information Team (CPIT).1 A list of IAGCI members can be found on the Inspectorate’s website. This report covers the reviews considered and signed off by the IAGCI at its March 2017 meeting, which related to Albania, Bangladesh, Egypt and Sri Lanka. On 9 April 2017, Palm Sunday, two Christian churches in Egypt were bombed, killing over 40 people and injuring more than 100 others. Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attacks. The following day, Egypt’s President declared a three-month state of emergency, which was later approved by parliament. These events post-date the review of the Country Policy and Information Note ‘Egypt: Christians (November 2016)’, although the review did recommend adding a reference to the El Botroseya Chapel bombing in December 2016 in which 25 people died, to which the Home Office agreed. The 9 April 2017 attacks highlight the dynamic nature of the threat to Egyptian Coptic Christians and the importance of ensuring that the Home Office’s guidance is kept as up to date as possible. This report makes two recommendations for improvement. It was submitted to the Home Secretary on 11 May 2017 D J Bolt Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration 1 Previously the Country of Origin Information Service (COIS). 2 1. Scope 1.1 In January 2017, IAGCI sought tenders for reviews of the following CPIT Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) and Country Policy and Information Notes (CPINs): • Albania ◦ Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) ◦ Ethnic Minority Groups (October 2016) ◦ Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (December 2016) • Bangladesh ◦ Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) ◦ Minority Religious Groups (March 2016) ◦ Opposition to Government (February 2015) • Egypt ◦ Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) ◦ Christians (November 2016) ◦ Muslim Brotherhood (August 2016) • Sri Lanka ◦ Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) ◦ Tamil Separatism (August 2016) ◦ Journalists, Media Professionals and Human Rights Activists (September 2015) 1.2 These countries and topics were chosen because they were last reviewed by IAGCI in 2012 (Sri Lanka) or 2013 (Albania, Bangladesh) or not at all (Egypt), and because of the numbers of asylum applications and high refusal rates in 2016. 1.3 IAGCI received two tenders each for Albania, Bangladesh and Egypt. These were assessed by the Chair, with input from members, and the reviewer with the most relevant, country-specific knowledge selected in each case. One tender was received for Sri Lanka, from a reviewer who had previously produced high quality work for IAGCI. 1.4 The completed reviews were quality assured by the IAGCI Chair and members and sent to CPIT. CPIT added its responses, forming a single document for each country review (original review and CPIT response are attached). 1.5 IAGCI met on 27 March 2017 to go through each review and the CPIT responses (The agenda and minutes of this meeting are attached). 3 2. Reviewers’ detailed points and recommendations Albania 2.1 Dr Enkeleida Tahiraj2 reviewed nine COIRs. CPIT ‘Accepted’ the substance of the reviewer’s recommendations or points in five instances: discrimination against Gorani ethnic groups; availability of shelters for LGBT minors; imprisonment of minors; fear of persecution because of historic links to the Democratic Party; and, the name of a regional head of police. 2.2 Three further points were ‘Noted’, two with the caveat that “We acknowledge that further information is available, but time constraints limit what we can provide when responding to COI Requests.” The ninth recommendation/point, in relation to the arrest of a named individual was, in effect, rejected, primarily because the COIR was of no lasting value, but citing as a supporting argument “and the additional sources are in Albanian”. 2.3 The reviewer assessed that the CPINs on Ethnic Minority Groups (October 2016) and on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (December 2016) presented the referenced source material fairly and accurately. However, while this material was recent, the reports relied on a narrow range of sources, mostly International organisations active in or with Albania. The reviewer recommended the inclusion of other sources, such as Albanian national media reporting, much of it available in English, academic research and material from civil society organisations. 2.4 The reviewer described a separation between stated policy and the implementation of policy and legislation in Albania. She noted the lack of consistent data and analysis about how poor implementation of policy affects particular social groups in Albania. In the absence of this evidence, she recommended that the Home Office widen its selection of sources and reconsider their weighting, and that subjective testimony should not be discounted where no alternative objective evidence is available. 2.5 Of the 17 detailed recommendations made in relation to the report on Ethnic Minority Groups, CPIT ‘Accepted’ 16. One recommendation was ‘Rejected’. This concerned the description of Roma children as ‘not fully integrated’ in the education system, which the reviewer read as implying a greater degree of integration than the statistics show. 2.6 For the report on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, CPIT marked five (out of 32) recommendations ‘Not accepted’. In two cases, this was because it considered the reviewer’s sources to be dated, but the other three rejections involved disagreements of substance: about the prevalence of homophobia in different parts of Albania; about internal relocation as an option; and about whether the rights of LGBT individuals are effectively enforced. In each instance, the reviewer challenged whether the evidence was sufficient to support the broadly positive position set out in the CPIN. 2 Full review including biography is attached. 4 2.7

    Journal of Balkan and Black Sea Studies Year 4, Issue 6, June 2021, pp. 155-212. Bulgaria’s Secret Empire: An Ultimatum to North Macedonia Tomasz Kamusella Abstract: In the summer of 2019, 30 years after the end of communism in Europe, Bulgaria began to forward the way of Skopje numerous onerous demands as a salient precondition for opening European Union (EU) accession negotiation talks with North Macedonia. All of these demands are dictated by ethnolinguistic nationalism that underlies the Bulgarian national master narrative. On 9 October 2019, the Bulgarian government officially adopted these demands in the form of an ultimatum, bar the term. Sofia did not have to deploy this ultimatum to stop the talks, since earlier Paris temporarily blocked the pending accession negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia. It appears that in the face of economic and political problems at home, Bulgarian politicians tend to use nationalism (and populism) to divert citizens’ attention. The Bulgarian government seems to emulate the Kremlin’s policy of the “Russian World,” which on the basis of ethnolinguistic nationalism claims for Russia all the territories inhabited by Russian-speakers. After the fall of communism, a similar policy of “Bulgarian World” (Bılgarski sviat) has been pursued by Sofia from Moldova to North Macedonia and Albania, clamouring for recognizing all the Slavic-speakers in this wide area as members of Ph.D., Reader in Modern History, University of St Andrews, Scotland, ORCID ID: 0000-0003-3484-8352; e-mail: [email protected] Submitted: 21.12.2020, Accepted: 16.06.2021 TOMASZ KAMUSELLA the Bulgarian nation.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.
  • Malian Traders in the Senegalese Capital

    Malian Traders in the Senegalese Capital

    Spaces, networks and practices Malian traders in the Senegalese capital By Gunvor Jónsson In Dakar, the capital of Senegal in West Africa, there is an abandoned train station which lies not far from the harbour. If you peek through the metal wire fence that surrounds this impressive structure, you can get a glimpse of the empty arrival and departure halls, and if you walk around the back, you might notice a small group of traders lined up against the old railway tracks which are overgrown with weeds. This is the former terminus station of the Dakar–Niger railway line that stretches all the way from the Atlantic coast and eastwards into the interior of West Africa, ending at the River Niger by the capital of the landlocked neighbouring country, Mali. Since 1923 and up until the turn of the second millennium, this railway was the only means of direct transport to Dakar that was available to the majority of Malians. The terminus station in Dakar was a hub for the city’s Malian population and a point of convergence for a great variety of travellers, beggars, civil servants, migrant labourers, and traders. The Malian traders I met in Dakar during my 12 months of fieldwork in the city in 2013, generally traced the origins of their community back to the pioneering kola nut traders, who imported these precious nuts from the Ivory Coast, either by ship or on the railway via Mali, to the port of Dakar. Several Malians settled in Dakar in the late 1960s, after the fall of the socialist regime in Mali which had discouraged emigration and commerce.

At present, there are 9 villages in the Mala Prespa area inhabited by 5-7 thousand people some of whom have Bulgarian, and some – Macedonian consciousness. Ethnographer Vassil Kanchov cites Pouqueville mentioning that “in the early 19th century, Prespa was populated with Bulgarians alone. Arnaut migrations to Prespa began from the village of Trn or Tern, lying between the Devol River bed and Lake Mala Prespa, and then moved up further to the north”1. These villages are Eastern Orthodox and have both Bulgarian and Albanian names – Gorna Gorica (Gorica Madh), Dolna Gorica (Gorica Vogel), Tuminec (Kalamas), Glubočani (Golumboc), Šulin (Belas), Pustec (Likenas), Tzerie (Cerie), Zrnovsko (Zarosh), and Lesko (Lepis). This is where the scene is laid of “The Prespa Bells”, a novel written by Bulgarian author Dimitar Talev, a native of Prilep (modern Republic of Macedonia), which depicts the struggle of the Bulgarian population in Macedonia for liberation from Ottoman rule in the 19th and 20th centuries. The mythical town of Prespa portrayed in Talev’s work is fiction; existent in reality is only Lake Prespa.
