Summary
Since the Dictator of Libya was overthrown in 2011, Libya has been in a political crisis with no upholding government. On, April 19th a boat with over 700 migrants from Libya capsized (flipped over) on the Mediterranean, with only 28 survivors that have been rescued. People from Libya have been trying to escape Libya and travel by boat to Italy illegally for the past three years, today Italy takes action against it. The EU-(Italy's border patrol) has been noticed for there bad work on not noticing the Libyan migrants. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has led calls for the EU-(European Union) to take more action against the migrants. 31,500 people have crossed the Italian border just this year. Italian Officials are rescuing more migrants each day.
Response
I feel very emotional and undecided about this topic, if i put myself in the Libyan citizens shoes and i feel for them truthfully i want them to live in Italy even though it's illegal because they are not citizens. Truthfully i want them to make it to Italy secretly. But putting Myself in Italy's shoes and i feel angry that the EU let this happen for so long. Maybe if they noticed sooner more people would have been saved instead of them dying. I think instead of blocking the Libyans from coming through they should send help to lib ya and help them so there citizens don't feel like escaping. And call for American help as well to help Libya in their crisis.
