"Many people have told us that they didn’t want to come to Europe when they left their country of origin. For many of them the destination country was Libya. But what they found there was abuse and violence. As a consequence, they decided to try the sea crossing"

Neocons can fuck off. I am done with adventuring in the middle east.

Great post. This is such a shit-show.

I took a ferry to Melilla on a whim a couple years ago. It's one of the oddest places I have visited. It's almost defiantly European. There is a big ol' fort on the point and a massive fence around the city and military guys everywhere. And for what? A tiny little rocky outcrop sticking out the top of Africa. Really strange. It felt like stepping back in time to the days of the Phoenicians or something.
