African migrants risk all to get to Europe - 13 Jul 08

Every year, thousands of migrants from Africa risk their lives to journey through the continent and then across the Mediterranean Sea.

The journey is long and treacherous and some estimate only half of those who depart actually make it to their destination.

Many head for Lampedusa - Italy's southern most island. Nick Clark reports.

@dulsen2011 bullshit asshole - fix your own god damn nations - more proof your kind are nothing but parasites!

[GeorgeTheGreek1978]

@SGTLima66 Because that would require them to work hard and make it work well. Now who really wants to work? lol All nations need to fight back and make their home countries pay for their mistakes and make the life work for them. They are afraid to stand up for themselves and this is the major problem. They all want a handout but they will get nothing from other countries. I wish they would all wake up and make a life in their homelands work.

@KKKSuperFan Those niggers never invited you invaders, slave traders into their continents about a century ago when you went there to destroy their hope for the future.

The best thing about a boat full of africans is when it sinks in the middle of the ocean instead of feeding off the social welfare system in the UK. Just like shooting ducks in the water !!!!!!!!!!

[USAdude30]

The more that come over the more ships you sink in the middle of the sea if they don't listen, especially if they are in large numbers.
