And here's the guy who heads up the ship to search and pick up these African refugees...He's a 'Dual' Citizen of Britain and Canada.

'Nick Romaniuk'....standing

Coordinator on board the Aquarius,works just off shore Libya to locate and pick up refugees... then traffics the Africans to European ports....Nearly three-quarters of those rescued originate from Somalia and Eritrea...

Other commercial ships won't pick them up for the risk of being blocked for days at sea, unable to carry out their business. Recently a support ship for an offshore oil platform was left in limbo for days after rescuing migrants. So they pass the boats full of refugees by.

Both former Italian colonies. Now that they have their freedom from the evil colonialists they want to go back to them? I don’t get it.
