2. In another photograph from Lesbos by Angelos Tzortzinis, a migrant rests at the port as he waits to collect tickets for a ferry going to Piraeus in Athens. So far this year, nearly 1,000 asylum seekers have drowned, including 450 this week in at least three separate incidents. It puts the death toll about 20 times higher than the equivalent figure in 2014, which was itself a record year. 4 Shares

Ilekeh: Africans lynching Africans, I think people needs to be educated. We survive on one another, so people needs to learn to embrace peace and each other. Even within our country, we re practicing such on ourselves. What about our jungle justice? (some of the victims were even innocent but because they were not given the chance to explain or talk) Tribal, political crisis? This last election we killed ourselves, destroyed our properties. We all need to be enlightened 3 Likes |
