Italy’s far-right prime minister has said she will not allow the country to become “Europe’s refugee camp”, after thousands of people seeking refuge landed on its shores, prompting France to tighten controls at its border with Italy.
Giorgia Meloni told the UN general assembly in New York that the huge numbers arriving in Lampedusa, a tiny Sicilian island that for years has been the first port of call for people crossing a perilous stretch of the Mediterranean Sea from north Africa, had placed Italy “under incredible pressure”.
How did Europe create the problem? I don’t think you can just blame their border-drawing past for all of today’s issues.
Bombed Gaddafi out of power, leaving power vacuum and destruction that has transformed a once stable country into a failed state riled by civil war after civil since. This was just a bit over ten years ago. I’m saying this while being no fan of Gaddafi.
The man had literal rape rooms in his palace, but that doesn’t mean you bomb the shit out of the country and just hope it works itself out.
Or if you do, don’t complain about the refugees…
Especially when you’re fuckin Italy and it was one of your colonies.
As well you fucking shouldn’t be since you didn’t live under Gadaffis rule. In fact, I don’t think you know the first damn thing as to what the hell you’re talking about.
