Some years ago there was a play on T.V. which ended with thousands
of Africans standing on the North coast of the continent looking longingly
across the Med to Europe. It has now come true with many prepared to risk death
rather than live in their conflict riven  home countries. It goes without saying that
the E.U. does not know what to do about a crisis that is likely to get much worse
as now its not just Africans but also refugees from the Middle East.

p.s  from memory I think the cause  in the play was famine and drought rather
than war . End result the same.

It has been said, by ISIS themselves iirc, that migrant ships are an excellent way of getting jihadis (back) into Europe undetected.

A lot of those fleeing 'persecution' are probably fleeing retribution for their own past activities. Sad

10000 this month alone, if evenly split between the EU countries
its only 400 each.the problem of course is that most want to go
to Germany Sweden Denmark or the U.K.

It makes colonialism seem attractive again if the poor b*****s are ready to risk life and limb to get away from their freedom applied by their own countrymen ?

I vaguely recall watching that film, Sica - can't remember it's name either but would like to see it again.

I thought at the time, "This will happen someday".

It's starting to now and we need to get ready for the tide.

@treetop, the countries that were built under Brit rule were successful and enjoyed by all before self government came along.
