We are disgusted to hear overnight that Fortress Europe has claimed another 87 victims, 48
of them children. The same European racist migration system that created panic last week
about blonde haired blue eyed Roma children will simply add the deaths of these children
to the thousands of victims of racist border controls over the last decade. ---- ?The
bodies were decomposed, it was horrible,? said Almoustapha Alhacen, one of the rescue
workers on the scene. ?We found them in various places within a radius of 20km, and in
small groups. Some were lying under trees, others exposed to the sun. Sometimes we found a
mother and her children; some of the bodies were children alone.?
These 87 recorded deaths are believed to be part of the same group from Niger where 35
bodies have already been found. Over 100 people dying of thirst in the desert.
