From the Daily Mail: "Up to 61 people are feared dead after boat sinks off the coast of Libya in latest migrant tragedy."
Up to 61 migrants are feared to be dead after their boat sank off Libya's coast in the latest migrant tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said there were about 86 migrants on board the vessel, according to survivors, when it left from Zuwara, on Libya's northwest coast.
A 'large number of migrants', most of which included women and children, are now missing and presumed to have died after high waves swamped the vessel, the IOM's Libya office said in a statement to AFP.
Libya and Tunisia are principal departure points for migrants risking dangerous sea voyages in hopes of reaching Europe, via Italy.
Many of the victims were from Nigeria, Gambia and other African countries, the IOM office said, adding that 25 people were rescued and transferred to a Libyan detention centre.
Maybe the families should sue the NGOs that provided the raft.
What do you call 61 invaders drowned at sea? A good start. :-)
ReplyDeleteRight now, these rafts sinking is by accident. But looking at the demographic situation in Africa versus Europe, at some point in the next few decades Europeans will have to purposefully sink the boats and ships if they are to survive.
DeleteSink the first raft and everybody would be home by now.
ReplyDeleteWith Africa's population set to explode in size, Europe will have to make a decision in the coming decades: drive out the invaders or become an African colony.
