Several weeks ago there was a report by TimesOnline that 27 migrants spent a day at sea holding on to buoys around a giant tuna net”. Photo above. The Times reported then that “the Maltese and Libyan governments argued over who should save them from drowning.”

Today, the New York Times/BBC reports many as 14 bodies have bee n located off the sea south of Sicily, these the paper claims are “the latest victims of the annual and deadly summer migration from northern Africa to Europe in search of asylum and economic opportunities.”

I wonder how some African leaders can sleep at night!!!
