Who knows why, we believe that we all want to come. But it is not true: there are other routes sought by migrants seeking a better life. E 'yesterday's news of yet MISNA incident in the Gulf of Aden, with six dead and eleven migrants missing, thrown overboard by smugglers. Survivors told UNHCR (the UN agency for Palestinian refugees) that the boat was in 52, all from the Horn of Africa, particularly Somalia and Ethiopia. This is the third fatal accident in early 2009 - according to the UNHCR - have arrived in Yemen in 168 boats. 47 dead and 24 missing since January. Strong increase in arrivals in Yemen compared to the first two months of last year. And perhaps it is no coincidence that in recent days have resumed fighting in Mogadishu, in a violent manner not seen for a while '.
But even if you stand it and survive the crossing, the future is not rosy. Yemen and throughout the Arabian Peninsula that uses plenty of "cheap labor, often making them work in conditions of semi-slavery. Nothing new under the sun. Whether Arab or European.
