Resumen de Tragedies in the Mediterranean: Analyzing the Causes and Addressing the Solutions from the Roots to the Boats
Migratory flows currently targeting Europe via the Mediterranean are a direct or indirect result of the decisions and inactions of the EU and its member states in relation to conflicts and tyranny in Africa and the Middle East The EU’s 10-point action plan on migration only cites two countries: Libya and Niger. But once again, the EU has not specified the nature of the actions that it plans to step up, and there is no mention of measures in the countries of transit and origin.
The number of migrants who died during their journey from their country of origin, before even catching sight of the Mediterranean Sea, is probably higher than the numbers of casualties who drowned while en route from Libya to Italy.
We are not only facing the challenge of managing the arrival of economic migrants, but the challenge of regulating an inflow of refugees, a consequence of humanitarian, military or political crises in several countries.
It is vital that the EU finds solutions for migrants coming to Europe, but above all for those fleeing to Europe.
