The death of Mostly Eritrean and Somali Migrants In Italian sea - Comments

This is so wicked..

It's not a blame game these are facts...
FROM SISTER M . R

"Totally agree with you. I live in Italy and this choreographed "line of honour" only came about after the Pope described what took place as disgusting. The Catholic Church rules." Racism is very overt here and sadly, I am not surprised or doubt that these "migrants" were treated like animals. I'm more than angry about what happened and I'm also angry at those greedy, sinful individuals in Africa who make a business out of selling tickets on such vessels containing people who are desperate - the conditions that they travel in are horrific. These traffickers are also well aware that as black migrants, they will not be treated in a humane way when they arrive at the South Italian coast.

These discoveries have baffled so many, with some insinuating it's juju. But the reason is really simple. The casket was latched to the hooks in the cargo compartment of the plane and was placed in the rear end of the plane. People who sat at the back of the plane survived the crash, so the casket, which was kept at the back also survived the crash.
