Bodies of 74 migrants wash up on Libyan shore

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been found washed up on the shore in western Libya after the engine of their inflatable boat was stolen, coastguard and aid officials said on Tuesday.

Red Crescent spokesman Mohamed al-Misrati said the corpses had been recovered on Monday near the city of Zawiya and the migrants appeared to have died during the past two days. They were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.

The Zawiya coastguard posted a video that showed the migrants' boat, with no engine, as the first bodies were recovered.

Last year a record 181,000 migrants crossed between Libya and Italy. More than 4,500 are known to have died.

Blaming Trump for the atrocities that have been festering in the Middle East is frankly ignorant. This poor little boy drowned due to his father making the decision to get him a future or die. The problems of the Middle East started in the country itself, and the sales of oil and arms going on did not create the atrocities that have been going on for years. It's dictatorship.

That would be a middle east problem. Nothing to do with North America. Had to be another muslim that stole their motor.

Fleeing Muzzie violence to seek shelter of the Christian world.

It's our fault we are sane and free?

They were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.

The correct term would be illegal immigrants, not migrants.

 

[mentalfloss]

It can be both but what is your point?

 

[Danbones]

...that would be the country destroyed by obomba and hitlary
not too many people try to migrate to libya since then

guess the insanity of liebarrels drove them to it

Well, it's good that they washed up once they got to shore. Probably rather. . . odoriferous after all those days at sea.
