UNHCR unveils far-reaching proposals for European action in the Mediterranean Sea
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has sent a number of concrete proposals to the European Union to deal with the challenges posed by the thousands of refugees and migrants who risk their lives trying to reach Europe every year.
The proposals, made by UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres in a letter to the European Union, are part of UNHCR’s Central Mediterranean Sea Initiative (CMSI), which aims to encourage wide-ranging discussions with the European Commission and among European states and other concerned stakeholders to address the challenges of mixed migration in the Mediterranean Sea and to save lives.
Prime Minister ’somewhat angry‘ at migration statements, decisions soon on hospital space
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said this evening he was somewhat angry at institutions such as Frontex which said that hundreds of thousands of people would be crossing the Mediterranean.
“I was expecting Frontex to instead say what it would be doing… Yes there is a problem of migration towards Europe. However, last year and so far this year, we had the least number of arrivals… We should not alarm people,” he said.
Alle in Süditalien (auch auf Lampedusa) ankommende Flüchtlinge und MigrantInnen sollen in ein Massendurchgangslager verbracht werden, in denen sie im Laufe von 3 Tagen befragt und ihnen die Fingerabdrücke genommen werden sollen. Das staatliche Gewaltmittel, das ein solches Durchgangslager darstellt, entstammt Frontex- und EU-Vorgaben. Ein bevorstehender größerer Krieg in Libyen würde zu einer Massenflucht von 500.000 bis 1 Mio Menschen führen, so Frontex in den vergangenen Tagen.

„Schwimmende Telefonzelle“ für Flüchtlinge
Eigentlich ist Wasser nicht Harald Höppners Element. „Ich bin eine Landratte und fahre am liebsten mit dem Wohnmobil durch die Gegend“, sagt der 41-Jährige. Trotzdem steht er heute am Harburger Lotsekai auf dem schwankenden Deck eines Kutters – mit dem er sich Ende März auf den Weg ins Mittelmeer machen wird. Der Grund: Höppner und einige Mitstreiter wollen in Seenot geratenen Flüchtlingen helfen. Zurzeit laufen die letzten Umbauarbeiten an ihrem Schiff, das in Kürze auf den Namen „Sea-Watch“ getauft wird. Wenn Höppner auf die andere Seite des Lotsekais blickt, sieht er das Wohnschiff Transit, in das kürzlich die ersten Flüchtlinge eingezogen sind. Zufall? „Absolut – aber eigentlich könnte unser Liegeplatz nicht passender sein“, lacht er.
