I wish the ANC would leave for Europe
More than 1,300 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in boats from North Africa in the last few weeks alone. Most of the people who risk everything to make the crossing come from places like Eritrea, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia and other African countries where the job market is decimated.

In one of the reports, the International Organization for Migration said that thousands of migrants had died trying to cross seas and deserts. Many of their bodies were not found, and those that were recovered were often impossible to identify. Along one of the busiest sea routes to Europe, a third of the dead were children. In the second report, the United Nations Children’s Fund warned of growing threats of abuse, exploitation and death for unaccompanied minors fleeing to Europe.
