Dear John xxxxxx,

Over the past two weeks, we’ve counted down the Top 10 Migration Issues of 2019. We’ve shared what we see as the most consequential developments of a year chockful of major changing realities on the ground, new policy responses, and more. Today, we are pleased to complete the countdown by unveiling Issue No. 1:

Issue No. 1: As the Venezuelan Crisis Digs In, International Community Pledges to Step Up

Issue No. 2: Syria and Iraq Experience New Waves of Displacement

Issue 3. Using Aid and Trade Threats as Leverage, United States Pushes Through Controversial Migration Management Deals

Issue No. 4. Violence against Immigrant and Minority Communities Erupts Amid Rising Xenophobic, Anti-Migrant Discourse

Issue No. 5: Insecurity Drives Displacement in the Sahel

Issue No. 6. Countries Push Borders Outward, Preventing Migrants from Reaching Hoped-For Destinations

Issue No. 7. Difficulty of Returns Manifests Amid Resistance from Origin Governments and Migrants Themselves

Issue No. 8. Far-Right Populists See Reversals, Some Gains in 2019

Issue No. 9. Campaign to End Statelessness Saw Setbacks, Some Successes in 2019

Issue No. 10. Amid Fears of Provoking Backlash, Governments Move Slowly and Softly on Global Compact for Migration Implementation

We hope you’ve found this year’s Top 10 thought-provoking and would be glad if you would consider

sharing with your networks. We’d also welcome your thoughts on other migration developments that you found important this year, so please feel free to drop us an email.

We thank you very much for your interest in the Migration Information Source, and all of us at MPI wish you a very happy new year.

Best regards,
