Migration as a Weapon, 2020

lansinginstitute.org highly recommends analytic paper by the Foreign Affairs Institute, published in 2020, June. Authors suppose that mass migration towards the EU is not caused solely by the upheaval in the Middle East and the broader Northern Africa-Western Asia region in the aftermath of the Arab Spring or by ongoing conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa, but also and mainly by structural macro-historical factors, such as overpopulation, an elevated youth bulge and the geophysical realities of land formation in the demographic hinterland of Europe, i.e. the areas of migrant origin. However we think that migration as a hybrid war tool was first used during the provocation of a massive migration flow to Europe from Syria as a result of bombing by Russian aircrafts in 2015-2017. Nevertheless we think that this report is the first approach to watch at migration problem as a weapon, i.e. the hybrid warfare tool.
