Emmanuel Achiri is ENAR’s expert on migration, security, and policing. His work addresses migration, policing, and the criminal legal system through a racial justice, intersectional, and decolonial lens. Achiri asserts that there is no such thing as a migration ‘crisis’; instead, he argues, the crisis lies in Europe’s struggle with its own identity and its obsession with synthetic whiteness.

Achiri holds a PhD in international politics and migration. He is the co-founder of VOIS Cyprus, an organisation advocating for migrants in Cyprus, and in 2018, he co-founded the Stop the War in Cameroon Coalition. In recent years, he has served on the European Philanthropic Initiative for Migration’s Process of Change Board Working Group (2022 – 2023), worked as a consultant for the Oslo-based crisis response think tank Urban-A, and joined the European Academic Refugee Interdisciplinary Network.

A passionate advocate and thinker, Achiri often mentions plans for starting a podcast – though what he has in store remains to be seen.
