flag Greece leads EU push to build deportation hubs in Africa to speed returns of rejected migrants.

flag Greece is working with Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark to create deportation hubs outside the EU, likely in Africa, for migrants whose asylum claims are rejected. flag The initiative, announced by Greek Migration Minister Thanos Plevris, aims to streamline returns and deter irregular migration. flag While Africa is a potential location, the exact sites remain undecided, and no operational timeline has been set. flag The hubs would process individuals unable to return to their home countries, complementing existing return efforts that currently average 5,000 to 7,000 per year. flag The project is in early planning stages, with technical teams preparing to meet soon. flag Human rights concerns have been raised, and Greece denies allegations of pushbacks.
