HAVE you ever asked yourself: why are there immigrants? The real question hasn’t been asked. People do not want to face reality.

Migrants are escaping from wars and oppressions.

Nato’s recent bombings, its long support of dictators and destabilising some countries have caused human suffering.

Millions of people have lost their lives, homes and jobs.

And now thousands of young people are crossing the Mediterranean Sea on unsafe, small boats.

Hundreds have been killed in the sea because of the unsafe and overcrowded boats.

There is only one defence against migrants: no bombing, no destabilising and no supporting dictators in Africa.
