    Since italy pays those countries to “guard their coasts”, there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and “charity ships” were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It’s not that simple unfortunately…not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course

      That "charity ship” claim is a fabrication by right-wing media that has no basis in truth and has been even thrown out of court in Italy. Please stop perpetuating such lies.

      What is actually happening is that they are paying Libyanese mafia militia for illegal push back operations and they don’t want witnesses for that.
