Dozens of migrants are thought to have died after their boat capsized in the Mediterranean off the coast of Tunisia.
At least 50 people died in the incident, with 16 survivors, the UN's International Organization for Migration says.
But Tunisian state media report that 70 migrants drowned about 74km (46 miles) off Sfax, south of the capital Tunis.
Tunisian officials reportedly believe the ship set off from Zuwara in Libya.

They breed and breed until their economy can no longer sustain them and then they overflow into neighboring countries.

The simplest and most humane solution to this problem would be
tow all boats back to Africa and disembark the migrants. Arrest the captain and shoot him on sight for human trafficking and piracy.
The word will get around very quickly and smuggling will drop very quickly. It will save may hundreds of deaths at sea, and crime in EU.

Should happen more often. Might make some of them rethink their decisions. If that sounds indelicate or disgusting, oh well.

A sure way to avoid drowning in the Mediterranean is to stay in out of the ocean in your own damn country.

Let’s be honest here - humanitarian aid to Africa is shaping up to be one of the biggest humanitarian crises of the the modern world.

Soon, there will be sharks following boats sailing from Tunisia like the sharks following slave ships sailing from Ivory coast.

They should have returned the survivors to their point of origin. But they’ll more likely take them in to become future headchoppers and arsonists.
