Introduction The issue of displacement and migration is one of the most controversial topics today. The increasing numbers of conflicts and shifts in our global political and socioeconomic systems have resulted in a persecuted minority having to fight for aid, refuge and survival. Itinerant Geographies presents statistics and facts regarding migration to and through Malta by mapping the various places of transit, the geographical places and the institutional stations on the refugees’ journeys.

Migrants seeking refuge in Malta come predominantly from troubled African states, as well as some from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Somalian migrants make up the vast majority of refugees in Malta, closely followed by Ethiopia, Eritrea, Ghana, Nigeria, Libya and Serbia.

The vast majority of migrants journey to Malta by illegal boat through the Mediterranean Sea. A considerable fee is normally paid in Libya or other northern African states to secure entry onto smugglers’ vessels both small and large. Many migrants are caught off guard by the rough sea conditions, lack of food, dehydration, and the cramped living conditions on board causing 68% of the migrants to be spotted and caught / reported by the Maltese Coast Guard (grey zone indicated). Many make their way to the small island Lampendusa and then endeavour to journey to mainland Europe. Arrival in Malta is often accidental and prone to difficult boating circumstances.

With approximately 15,000 migrants seeking refuge in Malta since 2002 this small island now has the highest number of asylum seekers relative to the national population of any country in the industrialised world. Once on the island, all migrants without required documentation for entry into Malta and the EU are taken into detention facilities until their documentation is applied for and processed. In some cases this can take up to 18 months and the individuals are detained. In the absence of documentation, or when there is a refusal to provide any, a migrant will be returned to their Nation of departure, and refused entry and asylum in Malta. As a result of the influx of migrants breaching the shores of Malta via the Mediterranean, the island developed a series of detention facilities of varying scope and size: Safi Barracks, Lyster Barracks, Ta’kanja Closed Centre, Marsa Open Centre, and Hal Far Open Centre. A sudden fall in migration between 2011 and 2013 resulted in closure of three of Malta’s detention facilities (indicated in beige), two of which were located at Safi Barracks and the other at Ta’kandja. Only three facilities remain open and functioning to date (indicated in orange), two units at Safi Barracks and one at Lyster Barracks. Open Centres are reserved for individuals who have gained their asylum / refugee status. These centres act as transition centres from detention into the Maltese community.

Detention | the Reality The reality of detainment in Maltese facilities culminates in an ongoing process of waiting for relocation, or likely leaving Malta. The process of awaiting documentation results in months of emotional toil, with little to entertain, stimulate or comfort the mind and body. The facilities are poor, underdeveloped and unmaintained. Inadequate temperature control results in extreme internal conditions throughout the year - cold in winter and hot in summer.

“Unsanitary” “No privacy” “Overcrowded” “Declining mental health” “No heating or ventilation” “No computer or internet access” “Lacking educational or recreation facilities” 32
