Shannonwatch, 4th September 2014 As people flee from countries ravaged by war and poverty and European governments shut their doors in their faces, we have responsibilities as human beings to act. We must demand that our governments do everything they can to end the cruel deaths we see happening in the backs of lorries, in the sea, in other parts of the long tortuous journeys that the people of Syria, Eritrea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, South Sudan, Eritrea and elsewhere undertake in order to stay alive. Instead of building wire barricades and sending boats back to Northern Africa we urgently need to put mechanisms in place to ensure routes to safety for people fleeing for survival. Every country in Europe, including Ireland, must increase the number of refugees it takes in, with immediate effect. It must also put in place the supports required to enable people traumatised by war, hunger, displacement, the death of loved ones, exploitation by traffickers and more to live in environments where their dignity and well-being are respected. Ireland has agreed so far to take only 600 refugees with a possibility of some more later. The government has sent Irish Naval ships to the Mediterranean where they have rescued over 6,000 people from the water. If we were serious about our humanitarian duties then these 6,000 people would be offered asylum in Ireland and not just dumped into Italy, compounding Italy's refugee problems. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2The people who deliberately stirred up the trouble in these countries and bombed them, leading to these refugee crises should be made to carry the can fully for the resulting fallout.
By having the debate centre solely around "what are we doing to help attenuate the fallout" we are allowing the bullies of the world to externalise the cost of their military jingoism and cynical geopolitical manoeuvrings onto poorer smaller countries who had little to do with any of these disastrous military forays into sovereign countries, and helping them get away with it. And if they get away with it, they will do it again.
We need a parallel policy which should consist of punishing these c*nts politically at every turn for their warcrimes and demanding they take full fiscal responsibility in reimbursing the countries dealing with these refugees in full. (If you break it you own it) coupled with our efforts to help the refugees.
Otherwise we are part of the problem and we essentially become enablers of state terrorism.
