The article discusses the fundamental nature of human movement, emphasizing how migration has shaped history and often been manipulated by those in power. The author connects historical oppression, including colonization and forced displacements, to contemporary political maneuvers regarding border control and population management. Highlighting instances where leaders promote or deny freedom of movement, the piece critiques the ongoing legacy of colonialism that privileges certain groups while subjugating others, framing these events as a modern reflection of apartheid and systemic injustice against displaced populations.
The act of migration is integral to the human story, encompassing everything from the pursuit of freedom to the horrors of forced displacement.
Throughout history, colonizers have frequently dictated movement; they both facilitate and restrict mobility based on arbitrary distinctions, reinforcing existing power hierarchies.
