Please watch this video. Below it is stated that: "This is a European problem, not a problem for Italy or Malta only." Really? Africans are boarding boats originating from African coasts, under the watch of African coasts guards, they die in horrific conditions, and that is what we are told? We Africans have no responsibilities toward the outcome? No action plan to prevent this type of horror from ever happening again? If our African leaders have nothing to say, how about we, in the Diaspora? Don't we value the lives of our people the way others do? It is about time we, in the Diaspora start practicing what is called a "Strategic Philanthropy. In 2012, we sent billions of dollars in remittances in Africa--more than the official development aid. We can do it! Enough is enough! We must start to be better organized and focused.
Binta==============================================Death toll of African migrants rises after boat disaster near Lampedusa
34 dead and at least 221 rescued by Italian and Maltese ships after boat capsizes in Mediterranean
The death toll from a boat laden with African migrants that capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa has risen to 34 people.
An Italian navy spokesman, Marco Maccaroni, told the Associated Press that at least 221 people had been saved from the capsized vessel. Approximately 250 people are believed to have been on board.
Reacting to news of the disaster on Friday night, the Italian prime minister, Enrico Letta, reportedly said the latest deaths were a "new and stark confirmation" of how serious the situation in the Mediterranean is.
The shipwreck on Friday was the second recent tragedy in the waters where more than 300 migrants travelling from north Africa to southern Europe lost their lives on 3 October.
The official toll for that tragedy – in which a boat loaded with about 500 migrants caught fire and sank in one of the worst disasters to hit the area in recent years – rose to at least 339 on Friday .
Malta was co-ordinating the emergency response to the latest incident, with its ships and aircraft assisted by the Italian authorities. The more seriously injured among them were being flown by helicopter to Lampedusa.

Passengers on board the boat had been able to make an emergency call with a satellite phone which enabled rescuers to pinpoint their location, a spokesman for the Italian coastguard said.
The head of the Italian Red Cross said the latest deaths were yet more proof that urgent steps needed to be taken to open humanitarian corridors to protect migrant boats.
"Reading the news that is coming out about a new tragedy at sea, I feel anger and bitterness. There is a need for concrete action, as we have said repeatedly, more than words," said Francesco Rocca in a statement.
"This is the dramatic proof of everything we have been saying up to today: that we need to take urgent measures to open humanitarian corridors. There is no time to lose."
Even before the most recent disaster, it had become clear earlier on Friday that the potentially deadly perils of the crossing had not stopped the flow of migrants to Italian shores. The coastguard said that in five separate operations more than 500 migrants had been rescued in quick succession.
"This is not just another wake-up call for Europe. This is the time for action," the Maltese prime minister, Joseph Muscat said, adding he had spoken to Letta to discuss the latest disaster.
"This is a European problem, not a problem for Italy or Malta only."
Italy is asking for more EU support and an overhaul of the bloc's immigration rules after last week's shipwreck.
