Zooming out on Migration, migrant smuggling, trafficking and security -  my own reflections

January 15, 2016 On the topic of underage male migrants to Sweden.

When I search on the internet I note  that this issue has been raised in the public debate in Sweden at least since the summer of 2015 - that is well before the last surge in September-October. 

Below some of my more general thoughts - which perhaps naively - mainly focus on the source of the problem rather than on what we do when it has reached Sweden. I have tried to generate interest for these more general problems at least for the last year and have written a few things of relevance in particular from the perspective of drugs trafficking since 2012. 

I assume without being an expert that a large part of the problem has to do with Afghan young men who claim to be underage and who systematically get rid of documentation either by their own initiative or at the order of traffickers. 

This is one problem out of many (including of course drugs) associated with trafficking from Afghanistan which at least I have been aware of for some time. 

My assumption since almost ten years is that this is not voluntary migration but a form of migrant smuggling which to a large extent is directed by organized crime or at least systematically exploited by organized crime. The family (which might be in debt to organized crime) has an interest in sending the young men out of the country, often the family as a whole is already in Iran with temporary Iranian identification cards (http://www.refworld.org/pdfid/4846b2062.pdf)

The boys are then sent on to see how and when it is possible to get the rest of the family to Europe. Staying underage throughout the journey is essential I understand already because of the simple fact that being underage when smuggling drugs saves you from capital punishment in Iran. The link to the heroin trafficking is not well documented however - the proportion of Afghans arrested in Europe is low.  

As for the public debate in Sweden the attempts that I have made myself on Facebook and Twitter to generate more public discussion about trafficking and migrant smuggling as an aspect of transnational organized crime has so far not been successful.

There are relatively large special interest groups on the internet dealing with human trafficking and drugs. But they are often focussing on a specific goal, for instance legalization of sex work or certain types of drugs. To get an overall picture on an international level is not something most people seem to prioritize. Most people indeed seem to like to see this discussion from the perspectives of victims - the notion that migrants could be under the influence of organized crime has not been a popular discourse.

I think we need to look at the whole ever more complicated picture at the source. The point is that underage males coming to Sweden of course remain victims of fragility and/or organised crime  even if they cheat about their age.
