"Drygt 900 flyktingar befaras ha drunknat utanf\u00f6r Libyens kust p\u00e5 l\u00f6rdagen", st\u00e5r det i Dagens Nyheter.
\nOm det bara hade varit den f\u00f6rsta olyckan. Men det \u00e4r det ju inte.
\n"Inte ens ordet 'tragedi' \u00e4r r\u00e4tt i sammanhanget", skriver Igiaba Sceco som sj\u00e4lv kom till Italien fr\u00e5n samma kontinent fast f\u00f6r l\u00e4nge sedan och d\u00e4rf\u00f6r p\u00e5 helt andra villkor. "Efter 25 \u00e5r \u00e4r det snarare befogat att tala om dr\u00e5p \u00e4n om tragedi; i synnerhet efter att delar av EU stoppade r\u00e4ddningsinsatsen Mare Nostrum. Det var ett tydligt val d\u00e4r v\u00e5r kontinent beslutade att bef\u00e4sta sina gr\u00e4nser och visa en total likgiltighet f\u00f6r m\u00e4nniskoliv. Ingen av oss gick ut p\u00e5 gatorna f\u00f6r att protestera mot avvecklingen av Mare Nostrum. Vi har inte kr\u00e4vt n\u00e5gon strukturell l\u00f6sning p\u00e5 problemet. Vi \u00e4r lika skyldiga som v\u00e5ra regeringar. Enrico Calamai, som i egenskap av konsul i Argentina under diktaturen p\u00e5 70-talet r\u00e4ddade m\u00e5nga m\u00e4nniskor undan general Videlas regim, talade nyligen om de migranter som i dag d\u00f6r i Medelhavet. De ord han valde var ingen tillf\u00e4llighet: 'De \u00e4r de nya desaparecidos, de f\u00f6rsvunna. J\u00e4mf\u00f6relsen \u00e4r varken retorisk eller kontroversiell, utan teknisk och saklig. La desaparici\u00f3n, undanskaffandet, \u00e4r en form av massutrotning, utf\u00f6rd p\u00e5 ett s\u00e5dant s\u00e4tt att folk kan s\u00e4ga att de inte var medvetna om vad som h\u00e4nde, eller \u00e5tminstone att de inget visste.'
\nEnligt UNHCR har \u00f6ver 36 000 flyktingar och migranter kommit med b\u00e5t fr\u00e5n Afrika till s\u00f6dra Europa hittills i \u00e5r, och \u00f6ver 1600 har drunknat (UNHCR:s siffra f\u00f6r l\u00f6rdagens olycka verkar vara 700 ombord och 50 som klarade sig).
\nVad kan man s\u00e4ga om detta?
\nMin farfar, som har rest i hela v\u00e4rlden (jo, faktiskt) som journalist, startade en hj\u00e4lporganisation n\u00e4r han gick i pension. En av hans \u00f6vertygelser var att m\u00e5nga m\u00e4nniskor vill stanna d\u00e4r de \u00e4r f\u00f6dda och uppv\u00e4xta\u00a0om det bara finns minsta m\u00f6jlighet att leva ett vettigt liv d\u00e4r. Han engagerade sig mest p\u00e5 den \u00f6stafrikanska landsbygden — f\u00f6r att barnfamiljerna d\u00e4r\u00a0inte skulle dras in mot st\u00e4dernas slumomr\u00e5den —\u00a0och satsade p\u00e5 rent vatten, bra sjukv\u00e5rd och utbildning som en grund f\u00f6r allt annat. Jag undrar om det har g\u00e5tt s\u00e5 l\u00e5ngt nu att s\u00e5dana satsningar \u00e4r alldeles meningsl\u00f6sa. Skulle g\u00e4rna vilja tro att det fortfarande g\u00e5r att g\u00f6ra n\u00e5got redan innan m\u00e4nniskor k\u00e4nner sig tvungna att fly. Och n\u00e4r de v\u00e4l g\u00f6r det, som nu, vad g\u00f6r vi i EU d\u00e5?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
