[…] OCCIDENTE IN CERCA DI UN NUOVO MUBARAK. Ma la verità è che, all’Europa come agli Usa, un nuovo Mubarak fa comodo per stabilizzare il Medio Oriente e riprendere i vecchi business.E all’Italia – primo partner commerciale europeo dell’Egitto – fa comodo più che agli altri Paesi Ue.Diritti a parte, al Sisi ha i mezzi militari per contenere il caos libico che alimenta il traffico di esseri umani.

Arnim Stauth, ARD Brüssel, zzt. Straßburg zur Rede von Papst Franziskus
„Mittelmeer darf kein großer Friedhof werden“
Nachdrücklich appellierte der Papst an die EU-Staaten, gemeinsam das Migrationsproblem anzugehen. Sie dürften nicht länger hinnehmen, dass „das Mittelmeer zu einem großen Friedhof wird“. Auf den Kähnen, die täglich an den europäischen Küsten landeten, seien „Männer und Frauen, die Aufnahme und Hilfe brauchen“.
Die EU-Staaten müssten sich angesichts dieser Situation gegenseitig unterstützen anstatt Lösungen anzuregen, welche die Menschenwürde der Einwanderer verletzten und Sklavenarbeit sowie soziale Spannungen förderten. Die EU könne die mit der Einwanderung verbundenen Probleme nur mit Gesetzen bewältigen, welche die Rechte der europäischen Bürger schützen und zugleich eine Aufnahme der Migranten garantieren, betonte Franziskus. Dazu seien „korrekte, mutige und konkrete politische Maßnahmen“ notwendig. […]
They are looking for 4 missing people and have saved 16 say the greek media
One of the missing is a 2 year old little girl. In the artikel one of the survivors said that the facilitator who had forced them by gun to embark the small boat, forbid them later to put on a rescue light and call on the fone for help when the boat was full of water …
We are trying to get more information by getting in contact with the survivors.
The boat was a small fiber glass boat (usually these boats are for 4-5 people max) that was not in good conditon Some of the survivors claimed that they didnt want to get in the boat but they were forced to do so by the smaglers. Very soon while they were still in Turkish sea waters the engine of the boat stopped and water started to come in. They tried to take the water out (probably they tried to call for help) but in one point the boat captisized and people fell in the sea.

„At Spanish Enclave, a Debate Over What Makes a Border
[…] In response to the legal challenge, the Spanish government has argued that reaching or even crossing the three fences around Melilla’s nearly seven-mile border is not enough to claim asylum. Instead, Madrid has recently argued that the migrants must cross what it calls an “operational border” — set wherever the last line of police security stands. Those arguments have been criticized by the European Commission — the executive arm of the European Union — as well as by some Spanish lawyers. […]
