“Everyone wants to leave”: Transit migration from Khartoum — The role of information and social media campaigns

Abstract

This report is based on interviews with migrants who are stuck in transit in Khartoum on their way to Europe. Challenged by the rough living conditions in the Sudanese capital, they weigh the attractions of reaching their preferred destination against the costs and dangers on the route through the desert and across the Mediterranean. What role does information play in these considerations? Can information campaigns on social media influence their decisions?
