Tony Bury (1970) was there, but otherwise no-one I recognised from my era.

The magnificent architecture hasn’t changed 9 From The Archives and there is still an emphasis on the Catholic tradition, but nothing else really survives. And so it is, I suppose, with all schools: the world moves on and schools move with it. But in our case there is such a sharp and sudden break, dating precisely to 1980 when the 10 - 11 Alumni Cricket Christian Brothers left, that I really did feel in the Mansion Hall as if I spoke a language that I could share with Tony and with no-one else.

He reminded me further that, throughout the arduous toil of post-1980 reconstruction and growth, veteran alumni have been at the side of all four headmasters.

    United Nations S/2019/711 Security Council Distr.: General 5 September 2019 Original: English Implementation of resolution 2437 (2018) Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 3 of Security Council resolution 2437 (2018), in which the Council renewed its request to me to report on the implementation of resolution 2240 (2015), in particular the implementation of paragraphs 7 to 10 of that resolution. 2. The report covers developments since my previous report of 31 August 2018 (S/2018/807) until 31 August 2019. The information and observations herein are based on submissions by Member States, relevant international and regional bodies and United Nations entities. II. Smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya 3. Since the issuance of my previous report, the world continues to face the grim reality that the Mediterranean Sea remains a high-volume thoroughfare for the smuggling of and trafficking in refugees and migrants. In 2019, thousands have again perished or gone missing en route or have been returned to situations of grave harm and uncertainty. In the period from 1 September 2018 to 31 July 2019, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) recorded a total of 82,236 arrivals of refugees and migrants by sea in Europe, a 26 per cent decrease from the same period in 2018, when approximately 111,200 individuals were recorded to have arrived in Europe by sea. For the period from September 2018 to July 2019, 1,485 refugees and migrants were recorded to have died or gone missing at sea on all the Mediterranean routes, including 736 on the so-called central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Italy and Malta.

  • Afghan Asylum Seekers in Italy: a Place of Temporary Respite
    Afghan Asylum Seekers in Italy: A place of temporary respite Author : Fabrizio Foschini Published: 10 September 2017 Downloaded: 9 September 2017 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/wp-admin/post.php The number of Afghan asylum seekers in Italy has been steadily rising over the last decade. Numbers grew particularly rapidly between 2013 and 2015 and only in recent months have they slowed down. Throughout the last ten years, not only has Italy become a fixture in the mental map of Afghan migrants, but it has seen its role changing from that of a country of mere transit to one of destination. For some, Italy is a safe second- choice when they could not reach their intended destination or have been rejected from there. For others, it is a stopgap to obtain legal papers on their way to another place. Afghans in Italy remain a mostly ‘transitional’ community, despite the thousands seeking and obtaining asylum. In the end, only a fraction of those arriving remain for good. AAN’s Fabrizio Foschini and Jelena Bjelica have been looking at the path of Afghan migration to Italy in the last decade and at the direction where it is heading. This research was supported by a grant from the Open Society Foundations. Read our previous separate dispatch about unaccompanied Afghan minor refugees in Italy here . After years of growth, now is a good moment to take stock of the phenomenon of Afghan migrants in Italy. This year is in fact seeing the continuation of a trend which first became 1 / 13 apparent in late 2016.
