"History shows that notions of exceptionalism almost always end in tragedy. But I think that is also a function of empire because how you’re going to justify the kinds of actions that the US takes around the world unless it can be couched within the rhetoric of freedom, within the rhetoric of liberty and within the context of so-called deep-promoting democracy. This is how the US does it," Eric Draitser, an independent geopolitical analyst based in New York City and the founder of StopImperialism.com, told The VOR

A Nigerian news portal, 'Abusidiqu' once reported a wikileaks revelation on how an Algerian-based CIA-sponsored agency gave $40 million to members of the Boko Haram sect promising them more if they continue in their acts. This claim cannot be dismissed considering the act of the CIA in Syria too. The French military also was also financing the rebels in Mali before they grew out of hand.

French forces also airlifted and dropped sophisticated weapons for rebels in Libya, especially in Misrata, during the no-fly-zone turned regime-change war. These weapons were unaccounted for but today as always and usual, terrorists roving West Africa are said to get their weapons from Gaddafi and as an aftermath of his fall. Boko Haram also began kidnapping after France paid it N500 million to free some French nationals held hostage.

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.
