Europe kills Africans by sinking boats: Qadaffy
2008-05-17
Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy has accused European states of killing hundreds of African migrants by deliberately sinking their boats to stop them reaching Europe.
Maybe they should stay in Senegal or Burkina Faso. Or Libya.
"This tragedy is unfolding. A war on the Mediterranean sea is being waged against Africans," Qadaffy told leaders of African trade unions he met in Tripoli late on Thursday.

The Libyan leader's remarks were carried by the Libyan state news agency Jana on Friday. It was the first time he had made such allegations and he did not name any country in particular. The European Union's executive Commission declined to comment.

#4  Maybe they should stay in Senegal or Burkina Faso. Or Libya.

IIUC, lybia cracks down pretty hard on african migrants, when they're even just thinking about staying there. As a matter of fact, all of north africa is a no-go area for black africans, arabs or arabized locals don't take too kindly to them...

#3  I also suspect that a lot of those "migrants" wear eye patches and say "Yaaaaar!" a lot.

#2  "Libya is the main springboard for African migrants illegal aliens attempting to sail to sneak into Italy -- the main sea route for illegal migrants aliens to spread sneak into Europe. Migrant advocacy groups Illegal alien enablers and fifth columnists estimate about 100,000 migrants illegal aliens - criminals breaking Italian/European LAWS - cross to illegally sneak into Italy each year."

There - fixed.

Here's a novel idea, Quadaffy Duck - TRY KEEPING THEM IN AFRICA. Figure out why they consider Africa a hellhole (and Europe, therefore, not a hellhole) and make changes that will keep the illegals home.

Or admit that African "leaders" want Africans to leave, and don't care if they die at sea, but are glad to use the fact that people want to get out of Africa for their own sick political gain.

I'm just surprised he didn't blame the U.S. for it.

#1  Timely indeed! Blue eyed Euro-devils at it again. More sermon notes for Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Michelle may wish to use this for her doctoral thesis or new book!
