Following the Second Africa-Europe Ecumenical Forum on Migration, held from 17–21 March 2025 in Addis Ababa, the Churches’ Commission for Migrants in Europe (CCME) and the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) have issued a joint Communiqué.
The statement highlights key concerns around migration justice, including the externalization of borders, bilateral agreements, and the protection of vulnerable migrants. It also outlines shared commitments and a strong call to action for churches, civil society, and policymakers across both continents.
