Italy Seeks European Countries Assistance Over Influx of African and Arab Immigrants

Overwhelmed by the unending influx African and Arab Immigrants into the country, Italian Government through foreign Minister, Pao Gentiloni has called for the support of other European countries in dealing with the crisis from being snowballed into a bigger social problem.

The situation is compounded by civil strives, abject poverty and hardship in the home countries of origin the undeterred Africans who are fleeing. Government of Italy said other European countries should not feel unconcerned because their borders were not as porous and accessible as Italy’s.

As the issues stand now, there is need for a more proactive and robust action plan to stem the tide of refugees and undocumented to stop the crisis from getting worse than it is presently. Already, these migrants are increasingly becoming object of exploitation by callous and devilish tour operator and traffickers of human beings. Cases of human beings thrown overboard by other boat passengers have equally being reported. 

 

A callous dimension to the experiences of immigrants was introduced recently when it was reported that fifteen Europe bound illegal Muslim Immigrants threw twelve Christian passengers into the Mediterranean Sea were arrested by Italian port police. 

The despicable story was beamed on TV screens worldwide and reported in newspapers around the world the harrowing experience of the Christian Immigrants who dared to venture into the Mediterranean Sea to sojourn abroad in search greener pastures in Europe. 

The fifteen Muslim passengers who perpetrated the dastardly and despicable act were arrested in Italy on Thursday, April 16, 2015 when other passengers and witnesses to the inhuman act committed by the Muslim passengers informed the Italian port policemen on duty.
