AFGHANISTAN TUZLA Good

February 8th, 2020.

The last passenger train deposited the arrivals at the central station in Tuzla two months ago. Now only boxcars with coal from the Banovići mines travel the rails to the Tuzla thermal power plant.

The overcrowded temporary reception centers in Bihać and Kladuša are no longer taking in new refugees.

The authorities are systematically detaining migrants in other parts of the Federation. Public transport is monitored and refugees are prevented from continuing on their road to the EU.

The authorities of the Tuzla Canton have decided not to set up temporary reception centers under the auspices of the International Organization for Migration.

Hundreds of people sleep on railroad platforms every night. Local NGOs have organized overnight accommodation for families and vulnerable groups.
