As the Mediterranean tourist season draws to a close, another deadly season of maritime people smuggling also ends. This season as in year's past, thousands of people have risked their lives to reach Europe by sea from North Africa. Many are simply trying to escape poverty, but others are fleeing conflict or persecution.
Just a century ago, it was the Europeans who risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean sea in leaky wooden wind boats, storming Africa.
A century later, it's the Africans paying a whole lot of money for smugglers, risking their lives crossing the Mediterranean sea.
TOO BAD,,, LIFE SEEMS AS UNPREDICTABLE AS GAMBLE.
The rescuers are the trues heroes.
BTW: Wishing all the best.
