En 100 meter lang liste med døde flyktninger var den «røde løperen» som møtte EU-parlamentarikere på vei til jobb.

Listen er produsert av den antirasistiske organisasjonen United for Intercultural Action, en paraplyorganisasjon for 560 ulike organisasjoner i 46 europeiske land.

De fleste ofrene flyktet fra krig, fattigdom og klimaødeleggelser. De døde fordi EU ikke ville finne en løsning. De kunne ha satt opp en luftbro og hjulpet folk til mottaksleire hvor de kunne blitt fordelt på land etter avtalte kriterier. De kunne satt opp militærkonvoier av båter for å frakte folk over havet, de kunne gjort NOE.

Les også om hvordan Europa har siktet flyktningene.

På vei til frihet
I stedet lukker de øynene og bygger høye gjerder. De skjøt og skyter tåregass mot desperate mennesker som prøver å komme forbi. De lar fattige naboland ta imot dem som klarer å flykte. De later som dette ikke angår oss.

Listen ble lagt på gulvet i EU-parlamentet, slik at alle delegatene måtte tråkke på navnene for å komme inn. Listen er 100 meter lang og inneholder mennesker på flukt i perioden 1990 til 2012 – på vei til friheten i Europa. Vi vet at flere tusen har dødd etter det også.

17.306 drømmer
Vi må ikke tåle så inderlig vel den urett som ikke rammer oss selv, oppfordrer det diktet alle nordmenn kjenner så godt. Det gjelder nå, mer enn noen gang!

I mellomtiden har 17306 kvinner, barn og menn dødd på havet. 17306 drømmer om et trygt liv. 17306 sønner og døtre, barnebarn. 17306 medmennesker.

Vi må våkne!

5 svar på “Her er de 17036 menneskene som omkom i middelhavet”

  1. Anti-hvit propaganda! Hvorfor er det bare Europa som må ta imot? Hva med rike land i Midtøsten og Asia?
    Afrikas befolkning vil firedobles innen 2100 (tall fra FN) og alle disse kan ikke komme til Europa, dere må sette fokus et annet sted, nemlig lavere fødselstall i problemregionene!

  2. Trist,de 17036 menneskene kunne levd et trygt liv i Europa. Nå må vi få til trygge flyktningruter inn til Europa.

    1. Problemet er bare at disse menneskene gjør livet mye mer utrygt for de som allerede bor i Europa.

  3. Helt utrolig at noen kan være så naive!
    Denne flyktninggreia har ikke noe med krig, klima, eller fattigdom å gjør, dette er noe europeiske politikere helt unødvendig har skapt med fritt forsett:
