Nuovi sbarchi a Lampedusa: 2 gommoni soccorsi , 210 a bordo
Altri due gommoni con a bordo in totale 210 migranti sono stati soccorsi dalla Guardia costiera nel Canale di Sicilia e condotti a Lampedusa. Il primo dei due natanti e‘ stato avvistato dal pattugliatore „Corsi“ a circa 70 miglia a Sud dell’isola, con un carico di 100 persone. Mentre erano in corso le operazioni di trasbordo, alla centrale operativa della Guardia Costiera di Roma e‘ giunta la richiesta lanciata con un telefono satellitare da uno dei 110 passeggeri di un altro gommone, in avaria a circa 35 miglia piu‘ a Sud rispetto. Tutti i profughi sono stati imbarcati sul „Corsi“, che si e‘ diretto a Lampedusa. AGI .

Je suis marocaine et j’ai honte de moi-même. Non que je ne sois pas porteuse de belles valeurs. Mais je vois se craqueler ma noblesse porcelaine. Mes lâches silences face à l’ignominie ôtent toute sa beauté à mes grands discours humanistes et mes honorables pensées sur la justice et l’égalité entre les Hommes.
En moins de deux mois, Tina M., Alex Toussaint et Ismaila Fay ont payé de leurs vie et dignité, le prix d’un rêve. Celui d’une vie meilleure dans un pays voisin, ami et frère. Ils y ont cru. Quoi de plus naturel que de trouver refuge, espoir et sécurité chez cet autre qui ouvre grands ses bras à l’étranger et à la différence? Quelle désillusion pour toi Mon Frère ! Quand tu n’as pas connu le mépris de l’autre, quand tu n’as pas vécu la solitude parmi « tes frères », tu es passé, invisible, sous les yeux de la plupart.

It’s 1999 in Syria
Kosovo’s foreign minister calls for an international intervention to halt the killing in Syria.
„The U.S. knew Hussein was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history – and still gave him a hand.
BY SHANE HARRIS AND MATTHEW M. AID
The U.S. government may be considering military action in response to chemical strikes near Damascus. But a generation ago, America’s military and intelligence communities knew about and did nothing to stop a series of nerve gas attacks far more devastating than anything Syria has seen, Foreign Policy has learned.
In 1988, during the waning days of Iraq’s war with Iran, the United States learned through satellite imagery that Iran was about to gain a major strategic advantage by exploiting a hole in Iraqi defenses. U.S. intelligence officials conveyed the location of the Iranian troops to Iraq, fully aware that Hussein’s military would attack with chemical weapons, including sarin, a lethal nerve agent.

Spain rescues more than 100 migrants from sea
Spanish rescue services said they had picked up more than 100 African migrants from boats in the Atlantic and Mediterranean sea on Saturday, incidents that have become increasingly rare.
Off the Canary island of Tenerife 26 migrants were rescued, some of them apparently after two weeks at sea, the Red Cross told AFP.
„Various circumstances, like the situation in the Sahel region and Arab countries as well as the fight against (clandestine) immigration to Spain across the Atlantic, have changed the flow of refugees these past months and years,“ the police chief of Spain’s North African enclave Melilla, Abdelmalik El Barkani, said earlier this year.
On Saturday, 47 migrants travelling on three boats were also rescued from the Mediterranean and taken to the town of Almeria in southern Spain. Thirty-nine others were transferred to Ceuta, also on the north African coast.
In a week Spanish rescuers have assisted several hundred migrants, after 3,804 would-be immigrants reached the Spanish coast last year, according to interior ministry figures.
The Canary islands, off the northwest coast of Africa, counted 31,678 arrivals of clandestine migrants in 2006, the highest number ever.
