There was another tragedy in the Mediterranean over the weekend.


Survivors who were rescued at sea and brought to ports in Sicily told officials that Thursday’s disaster involved two boats – the first one, carrying around 500 migrants, was towing the second, which was also carrying about 500 people

When the second vessel began to take on water and sink, the alleged captain of the first boat, a Sudanese man, cut the tow rope, causing it to whiplash and hit a migrant woman in the upper body, taking off her head.

The second boat then sank, taking down with it most of the migrants, who were packed tightly into the hold, as is usually the case with voyages organised by the pitiless trafficking gangs who operate along the Libyan coast.

The Sudanese man was arrested on his arrival in the port of Pozzallo along with three other suspected people traffickers, Italian media reports said.

"We tried everything to stop the water, to bail it out of the boat," a Nigerian girl told cultural mediators, according to La Stampa daily.  "We used our hands, plastic glasses. For two hours we fought against the water but it was useless. It began to flood the boat, and those below deck had no chance. Women, men, children, many children, were trapped, and drowned," she said.

The dead included around 40 children, including babies, survivors said.



Apparently over 13,000 migrants arrived by sea in Italy last week. If reports are accurate, 700 died at sea in the last 3 days alone. 

They are a very visible group here in Italy, 95% blokes, mostly black African, some Arab types too. Just hanging around on the streets mostly, some trying to sell a few bits and bobs to tourists. Walked past a bookies yesterday, they seemed to be doing a roaring trade from them as was the off licence next door.....
