Italian naval officers investigated for failing to rescue migrants | Daily Mail Online

oct 24 2016 Several Italian naval officers are being investigated by prosecutors for culpable homicide as a result of their alleged failure to rescue migrants from a sinking fishing boat – an incident in which around 300 people lost their lives, including over 100 children.

Lieutenant Catia Pellegrino, the commander of the patrol vessel Libra, who has a presidential medal of honour for rescues she’s co-ordinated, is one of those suspected of mishandling the SOS situation.

The tragedy, which occurred in the Mediterranean on October 11, 2013, appears to be the result of confusion over who should come to the aid of the boat between the Italian and Maltese authorities, it’s been reported.

African Migrants Stuck on France-Italy Border...

Stuck on France-Italy Border, African Migrants Ponder Next Move
October 24, 2016 — Migrants have continued to arrive on Italy’s shores by the thousands this year. Most of them are Africans who hope to continue on to other European countries. But emergency border checks in place since last year mean many of them are stuck.

Groups of migrants are walking along the edges of the wet highway. They come from Eritrea, Sudan, Ethiopia and other African countries. Most of them made the long land journey to Libya before finally boarding an overcrowded boat to cross the Mediterranean. Cars whip quickly around the curvy mountain roads as rain fails on a chilly day in Ventimiglia, Italy. We are at the country’s border with France.

In search of better life

The migrants VOA spoke to requested not to be named. “I’m from Sudan. I have 24 years old. The government in Sudan is not good. Me, I came here to save myself,” he said. He is hoping to get to France, where he says he has family. But for now, he and five other Sudanese men are walking through the rain looking for the nearby men’s migrant camp run by the Red Cross and the NGO Caritas.

Aiming for France

A local Catholic church, St. Anthony’s, houses around 100 migrant women and children in its basement. Abdul Rahman works as a volunteer translator at the church. “The people go out and come, trying for France. They go to France, they’re trying and police send them back,” he said. The European Union has struggled to meet the needs of the over one million migrants and refugees who have arrived since the start of 2015.

More than 140,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean into Italy so far this year. EU law says new arrivals should register in their first port of entry. But many of the Africans VOA spoke to said they did not file in Italy because they want to continue on to other European countries. And now they are stuck. The border between Italy and France used to be relatively open, but now there are often passport checks. The emergency border checks are due to expire in mid-November, though some EU countries are in favor of extending them further.
