400 Europe Migrant Drowned Fleeing Libya When Boat Capsizes

[H.W.Z]

Thousands of migrants every year try to go to Europe for a better life!They have to go through harrowing journeys. The ships for the transportation carry more migrants than they should have.  The safety and living condition are the biggest concern. Many of them dies in the Mediterranean before reaching to Europe! Does going to Europe worth their lives?

This is very sad, they should have stricter regulations to monitor and stop this that it may not happen again in the future. These things could have been already prevented had the governments stepped up their monitoring effort.

Libya is under civil war. After the fighting started, black people – became very vulnerable, because all the youth had weapons and they could rob ppl's house. If ppl went out for something to eat, a gang would stop you and ask if you supported them. They might be rebels, they might be government, we didn’t know. That is the reason why ppl are desperate  for new life in somewhere else in Europe.

Look up to your masters to see your true enemies, not down on your desperate brothers.

Yes, these boats/ships should be intercepted, return ppl on board to their country and then bring the empty ship to the next scrapyard.

Unfortunately, this is the best solution available right now. If these "refugees" are granted asylum, then another half-a-million more will sail from Libya and many tens of thousands will lose their lives. Illegal immigration should never be encouraged. Only traffickers gain from such boat crossings.

Even if the boats make it to shore, people should be returned to their country.
That will act as a deterrent.

Severe humantarian and migrant crisis. The illegal traffickers can do whatever they are able to transport more ppl to Europe and earn more money!

That's right. It's just easier to catch them in one go while on board, then chasing them in Sicily or between the Laconian mountains in Greece.

However in the second case we could say something like "This is Sparta!", and indeed that would be literally Sparta .

This is very bad, the coast guards should return them back to their respective governments instead of dragging them right back into the ocean where they might run out of fuel or food and die on the way. There must be some stricter measure to monitor and take care of this issue as many people are dying time after time.

It is not that simple. Most of these migrants are from distant nations such as Ghana, Nigeria and Liberia. Once they get to Libya, they will destroy their passports and other identification documents. This is done to prevent deportation to their home nations. Now the only option is to send them back to Libya. Before the NATO invasion of Libya, that was being done, at a limited level. But after the NATO invasion, this option is not available anymore.

That makes things difficult indeed. Perhaps using the Australian model could be useful.

I don't think that suggestion is practical as well. Australia can detain / deport the migrants as per their wish, and can transfer them to countries such as Nauru and PNG, which depends upon Australia for funds. On the other hand, the European Union laws make it extremely tough for nations such as Italy, to introduce such a measure.
