Khartoum process
The Khartoum process is an inter-regional forum on migration covering the Horn of Africa and Europe. Its members are the African Union Commission and the European Commission.
Although the partners' stated intention was to "establish an effective, humanitarian and safe European migration policy", the Khartoum process has been criticised by scholars, by the United Kingdom's cross-party International Development Committee, and by observers in Sudan, for undermining European human rights commitments. Concerns have focused especially on European Union funding being used to support the capture, detention, and in some cases torture, of refugees and other migrants by Libyan and Sudanese authorities.
