This is what happens when there is failure of leadership.
No enabling enviroment for upcomming generation.
Africa have suffered in the hands of self-centered,asslicking,nitwitty brainscoop-lummox.

We call leader'sangry.
This same leaders were part of UN resolution which voted for the intervention NATO in libya despit their failure in their respective countries.
They even armed rebels. getting the arms back is a problem.

Now libya is a failed state and a safe haven for. Smuggler's,illegal migrants and illegal arm dealer's(number one supplier of arms to boko haram).



On the flipside: the said rescuers are the primariy cause of this accident.

This is not the first time,this kind of thing has happened.
They know this are desperate people striving to survive.
You don't just drive a rescue vessle to the the boat you want to rescue. Without sending crew members to co-ordinate the boat/vessle you want to rescue.
So has not to make the people disorganized and make them move to one side of the boat,which will cause it to topple.

Hypocritesangry..I just feel pained right now.

Foreign Affairs › TERRORISM: ISIS Threathens To Sell Kidnapped Christian Women by tunderoc(op): 5:35pm On Aug 15, 2015
ISIS recently posted disturbing images three Assyrian Christian women they abducted earlier in the year.
In the three leaked images shared on social media by the dreaded terror group shows the women holding pieces of paper on which their names and a date "July 27, 2015" are written.

ISIS fanatics have executed 19 women for refusing to have sex with its fighters, a Kurdish official has said.
He claimed the women were being held hostage in Islamic State's stronghold of Mosul, Iraq, which the terror group seized in June last year.
Meanwhile a UN envoy investigating Islamic State's vile sex trade has said 'girls get peddled like barrels of petrol' and one can be bought by six different men.
She also verified a disturbing ISIS document which suggested the extremists sell the Yazidi and Christian women and children they have abducted, with girls aged just one to nine-years-old fetching the most money.

Unfortunately, this appeal appears to be falling on deaf ears, according to William Perea, an epidemiological officer with WHO.

Saif al-Islam, the most prominent son of Libya's slain leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has been sentenced to death by firing squad.

He was sentenced in absentia on Tuesday in Tripoli along with eight other senior members of the former regime, overthrown in 2011.
They were accused of war crimes and suppressing peaceful protests during the revolution, a state prosecutor said in early June.
The trial had started in April 2014 before fighting between rival factions resulted in a power struggle with two governments competing for authority - one based in the capital, Tripoli, and the other one in Tobruk in the east.
