class="entry-content"><h4>Europe’s “automatic asylum” Policy on Eritrea backfires: flood of fraudulent asylum claims from Ethiopia and beyond</h4><p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="wpsdc-drop-cap">A</span> recent investigative <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14058597/Fake-asylum-seekers-conning-way-Britain-telling-Home-Office-war-torn-Eritrea-bragging-thousands-followers-TikTok.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>report</strong> </a>by the <em>Daily Mail</em> has shed light on an alarming trend affecting Europe’s immigration system. What was originally intended as a humanitarian policy of offering automatic, bona fide asylum rights to Eritreans has backfired. Instead of helping genuine refugees, this policy has inadvertently opened the door for a wave of fraudulent asylum seekers from neighboring <strong>Ethiopia</strong> to flood into the UK and other European nations. <span id="more-67186"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The investigation reveals a widespread network of thousands of Ethiopian migrants who have mastered the art of exploiting asylum loopholes. By sharing extensive training material online, these individuals coach each other on how to deceive immigration officers into believing they are “Eritrean”, thus qualifying for automatic asylum in Europe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One such individual, <strong>Michaele Abraha</strong>, boasts to his 16,000 followers on TikTok about his success in fooling the system. Despite living comfortably with his family in a council flat in Southwark, London, Abraha <a href="https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/1858157660635349389" target="_blank"><strong>openly admits</strong></a> he falsely claimed asylum as an “Eritrean” to gain legal residency in the UK. In his social media posts, he even goes a step further, teaching others how to replicate his fraudulent tactics.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <em>Daily Mail</em>’s exposé goes beyond Abraha, uncovering several live TikTok video calls where six other Ethiopian migrants also confessed to securing asylum status by pretending to be Eritrean.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to Home Office data, between 2010 and March 2024, nearly 35,000 asylum claims were made by individuals purporting to be from Eritrea. This figure has raised serious questions about the <a href="https://tesfanews.com/exposing-the-abuse-of-eritrean-asylum-policies/"><strong>authenticity of these claims</strong></a> and the efficacy of the current asylum screening process.</p><p>A spokesperson for the Home Office, when presented with evidence of these fraudulent activities, stated:</p><blockquote><p><strong>“We are looking into these claims and will always seek to revoke refugee status where evidence shows it was granted under false pretenses.”</strong></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">The European policy of granting “automatic asylum to Eritreans” was rooted in the UNHCR’s “Eligibility Guidelines” that was issued in 2009 and 2011. These guidelines advocate for automatic, bona fide asylum rights for Eritrean youth in Western countries. This approach has been part of the coordinated strategy of “strategic depopulation,” aimed at facilitating the mass exodus of Eritrean citizens from their homeland.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, the unintended consequence has been a surge of Ethiopian migrants exploiting this system. The ease with which these fraudsters have bypassed immigration controls not only undermines the asylum process but also raises concerns about national security and the integrity of European borders.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <em>Daily Mail</em> report highlights a critical flaw in Europe’s immigration policy that requires urgent attention. It underscores the need for more robust vetting procedures and better cooperation between European nations to curb asylum fraud and ensure that protection is granted only to those genuinely in need.</p><p><em>For the full, in-depth story, read the original report from <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14058597/Fake-asylum-seekers-conning-way-Britain-telling-Home-Office-war-torn-Eritrea-bragging-thousands-followers-TikTok.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Daily Mail Online</strong></a>.</em></p><div class="ose-twitter ose-uid-5a7080cc32e3e62348ded7639254a5cc ose-embedpress-responsive" style="width:1200px; height:630px; max-height:630px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="1200" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Daily Mail Online's investigative report (18 Nov. 2024) on the Asylum-Racket in relation to Eritrea is neither novel nor a matter of isolated case specific to the UK. <br><br>This is indeed part and parcel of a co-ordinated, two-decades old, policy of "strategic depopulation"…</p>— Yemane G.
