Festung Europa
Before Lampedusa again found many refugees from Africa a cruel death in the sea. Once again, we see that all the values which purports to present the European Union border, at the latest on Europe's doorstep. Before the Italian Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, a ship with more than 500 refugees has fallen on board. At least 133 passengers were drowned in the sea, including several children. Most of the refugees came from the impoverished and war-torn Somalia. The incident, which is the second in a week - on Monday killed at least thirteen refugees from Sicily - points out once more the bitter reality of refugees clearly that repeatedly fail to find the way to Europe and in the worst case death. Those responsible for this can be found mainly in the safe Brussels. However, there is little interest. The Nobel Peace Prize - the European Union - wants to know nothing of the suffering of the refugees. Those values that you seem to always want to emphasize, that is, freedom, humanity and solidarity seem to find the boundaries of the European fortress every day to an end. No wonder, because the EU limits are strictly monitored for years. This is mainly due to the "European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders", short, Frontex. This organization, which claims to provide "security" has proven in the past again and again that it places no value on human rights. Instead, hunting is done on cold refugees. An example of this is a case from the year 2009. At that time, Frontex has applied a Senegalese refugee ship on the high seas. On board, not just people who were dying of thirst close, but the bodies were. This touched the refugee hunters - unlike the members of Frontex can not describe - in any way. Instead, they wanted to give the refugees no water, threatened to destroy their ship and sent them back to Senegal.
