As a Berlin-based political reporter at Politico (2015-2018), I covered Europe's migration crisis from its onset until it faded from the headlines and beyond:

• Angela Merkel's neighborly plan for Africa. The German chancellor wants to boost investment in African countries in a bid to curb migration to Europe.
  (Politico, July 11, 2017)

• Terminal test of Merkel’s migration mettle. A fight over the disused Tempelhof airport brings to surface political divisions in Germany.
  (Politico, February 29, 2016)

• Jihadists for the kaiser. The arrival of Syrian refugees unearths the history of a World War I mosque, built for prisoners of war.
  (December 30, 2015)

• Bavarians at the gate. The message from the front line: Germany can’t keep taking refugees.
  (November 20, 2015)

• ‘German, not Arabic!’ Germany faces a massive strain on its schools with the influx of refugee children.
