At least 20 people were feared dead after a boat carrying hundreds of migrants to Europe capsized in stormy seas near the Italian island of Lampedusa, according to reports.

Following the accident on Saturday, 149 migrants have been rescued, including 13 women and three children, but dozens were still missing, the Italian coastguard said in a statement.

Five bodies, all female, were recovered on Sunday by Italian officials.

According to an initial reconstruction of events, the boat was carrying more than 160 people and had departed from Libya the previous day, taking advantage of a break in the bad weather.

Why is it so? Any reason?

Why is it so? Any reason?

because of the war in Syria, any person with his Syrian pass/ID claiming refugee status would be given the red carpet treatment... as for our NIgerian/Cameroon/Ivorian/Senegalese brothas, the would be either sent to work for mafia in farms or sent back after being refused refugee status.

few years ago, they would accept anyone but today, all Europeans countries are fed up, refusing them and closing their doors because they cant cope. so now, they are trying to stop them from the desert (Niger precisely). Italians themselves are fed up, because if/when a refugee manages to enter Europe and bleeps up anywhere in Europe, they can be sent back to the country where they entered the EU (aka Italy), so Italy has been getting all the Europeans rejects for years. EU is suppose to be borderless but France border with Italy is now well guarded and checking whoever is coming through

God guide AJ for me, wish she never fell for that woman sweet mouth to go to Europe through Libya.

Honestly, the documentary is a shame on all African leaders and a stain on black people globally.

bro , its very painful to watch... especially the people that would claim that they'd rather die than go back to Nigeria/Ivory Coast. as it is well documented, all this is all down to foreign governments war in Libya, who are not washing their hands about this issue.

sadly, there are some deluded brothas and sistas who still will be trying today to go to Europe via this hell hole called Libya.

Why the rush?

Stain is too light to use, me thinks.

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.
