Miriam Edding, Hamburger Mitinitiatorin von Watch the Med, über die Probleme und die Hürden bei der Rettung in Seenot geratener Flüchtlinge.
taz: Frau Edding, wie sind Sie bei Watch the Med, der Initiative, die ein Alarm-Telefon für Bootsflüchtlinge betreibt, gelandet?
Miriam Edding: Ich arbeite seit Jahren in verschiedenen transnationalen Netzwerken zur Situation an den EU-Außengrenzen. Nach der Katastrophe im Oktober 2013, als knapp 400 Menschen vor Lampedusa ertranken, war es für mich ein folgerichtiger Schritt, bei der Entwicklung des Alarm-Telefons mitzuarbeiten.

You have to watch this video of these amazing people who came to the aid of the refugee’s facing a death march to Mytilene. These are local people and tourists many of whom rented cars so that they could help. Without this help the refugee’s faced a death march with days of walking to Mytilene in the hot sun with children and infants
Brought tears to my eyes … Amazing!

In seinem beeindruckenden Roman “Der Fall Meursault, eine Gegenermittlung” rollt der algerische Autor Kamel Daoud einen der berühmtesten Morde der Literaturgeschichte neu auf. Er gibt dem arabischen Mordopfer aus Albert Camus „Der Fremde“ eine Stimme. Das Werk stellt nicht nur eine Auseinandersetzung mit Camus dar, es ist auch eine furiose Abrechnung mit dem Algerien von heute. Stefan Buchen stellt den Roman vor.

TRIPOLI, May 24 (Reuters) – Europe cannot halt the deadly traffic of African migrants across the Mediterranean unless it ends a boycott of forces that have seized power in the Libyan capital and helps authorities there cope, the de facto government in Tripoli said. Chaos and civil war since NATO warplanes helped topple dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 have turned the North African country into the launching point for human traffickers smuggling tens of thousands of people across the Mediterranean. Libya’s rulers have rounded up thousands of Europe-bound African migrants in makeshift detention centres. But officials say they have no room to hold the migrants, no way of fighting smugglers and no hope of guarding vast desert frontiers to prevent thousands more people trying to reach the sea. „We tell you: come and talk and cooperate with us, the national salvation government,“ Mohamed al-Ghirani, foreign minister in the government based in the capital Tripoli, told Reuters in his office overlooking the Mediterranean. „If Europe doesn’t cooperate, then after (some) years Europe will be completely black. Europe will change from a white Europe to an African Europe,“ he said.
