"to assess the situation and help ensure European solidarity for the
efforts undertaken to save the lives of migrants crossing the
Mediterranean Sea", the EU's diplomatic arm said in a statement

Migrants: Ban Ki-moon, Renzi et Mogherini au large de la Sicile ...
ReplyDeleteUne semaine après la plus grave tragédie de migrants en Méditerranée, Ban Ki-moon, Matteo Renzi et Federica Mogherini seront lundi au large de la Sicile pour manifester leur volonté que prennent fin les drames de l'immigration clandestine.
Mme Mogherini, chef de la diplomatie de l'Union européenne, "sera avec le secrétaire général des Nations unies Ban Ki-moon et le Premier ministre italien Matteo Renzi à bord du navire de la marine San Gusto au large des côtes siciliennes (...) en vue d'une solidarité européenne avec les efforts faits pour sauver les vies des migrants qui traversent la Méditerranée", selon un communiqué de l'UE.
"Un effort commun (est) nécessaire afin de régler la question de la migration, en s'attaquant aux causes profondes comme aux urgences", a souligné l'UE, huit jours après le naufrage d'un chalutier transportant quelque 750 migrants, qui a fait 24 morts et quelque 700 disparus, avec seulement 28 survivants.
Ce drame est intervenu moins d'une semaine après deux autres naufrages de migrants qui ont fait quelque 450 disparus.
Cette hécatombe en Méditerranée a contraint les Européens à réagir. Réunis jeudi en sommet extraordinaire à Luxembourg, les dirigeants de l'UE sont convenus de tripler les moyens de leur opération Triton de surveillance et d'assistance en Méditerranée.....rtbf.be
