Refugees: Hakim Bello.. Here’s my story of fleeing and surviving ..!

    I was a Lampedusa refugee. Here’s my story of fleeing Libya – and surviving:
    Hakim Bello

    The boy next to me fell to the floor and for a moment I didn’t know if he had fainted or was dead – then I saw that he was covering his

    eyes so he didn’t have to see the waves any more. A pregnant woman vomited and started screaming.

    Below deck, people were shouting that they couldn’t breathe, so the men in charge of the boat went down

    and started beating them. By the time we saw a rescue helicopter, two days after our boat had left Libya

    with 250 passengers on board, some people were already dead – flung into the sea by the waves, or suffocated

    downstairs in the dark. It’s very difficult for me to think about this, nearly four years after I paid a smuggler to get

    me out of Libya, but it’s important for people to understand what is happening to us and why.

    I’m one of several hundred thousand people who, since the Arab uprisings of 2011, have arrived in Europe across the Mediterranean.

    It is now the deadliest border in the world. We all have different reasons for doing it: some people think they’ll find a better life in

    Europe, others just want to get away from a war zone. But everyone feels they have no other option.

    I’m originally from Nigeria and I had been living in Libya for five years when the war broke out.
    I had a good life: I was working as a tailor and I earned enough to send money home to loved ones.
    But after the fighting started, people like us – black people – became very vulnerable, because all the
    youth had weapons and they knew we had money in our houses and they could rob us.

    If you went out for something to eat, a gang would stop you and ask if you supported them.
    They might be rebels, they might be government, you didn’t know.

    I couldn’t go back to Nigeria – the way south was blocked – so I met some people in Tripoli who said they knew how to get to Italy.
    They took us to a beach outside the city where there were hundreds of people camped out, all waiting to get on a boat.
    Some were from Syria, or Algeria, or Egypt. But most were from west or east Africa.
    Lots were men, but there were women and families with small children, too.

    There are no fixed prices: it depends on what contacts you have and how desperate you are.
    I paid 400 dinar (equivalent then to about £250), which was one week’s salary.
    The smugglers had taken old commercial fishing boats – some so old they weren’t supposed to be used – put
    new engines in and given them to people they knew. The “captain” of the ship might not even know the way to Italy.
    He might not even have been a captain before.

    When the ship set off, we were worried about the engines breaking down, but we soon realised the biggest
    problem was the waves. The boat wasn’t built for the journey and it was flipped up every time a big wave hit.
    All I could do was say my last prayer – I felt like I was dead already. This was in 2011, but now there are
    many more people camped on the Libyan coast, waiting for their turn.

    When I first heard that British politicians did not support a rescue operation in the Mediterranean,
    I thought it would be some far-right party saying that – I didn’t realise it was the government’s policy.
    It’s a terrible decision. All of Europe has a responsibility to stop people from drowning.

    It’s partly due to their actions in Africa that people have had to leave their homes.
    Italy is doing so much to help save refugees and it needs support. Countries such as Britain, France,
    Belgium and Germany think they are far away and not responsible, but they all took part in colonising Africa.
    Nato took part in the war in Libya. They’re all part of the problem.

    It’s also important to understand that our journey doesn’t end when we reach land.
    After the helicopter found our boat, we were taken by an Italian ship to Lampedusa,
    where we were locked in a reception centre that looked like a prison. Then I was sent to
    a small town in southern Italy, and I was lucky to find a job sewing tents, but it paid so little
    I couldn’t afford to live. Italy is in crisis, and millions of its own citizens have left to find
    work in northern Europe, so I thought I would do the same.

    I went to Berlin. I was offered jobs, but I couldn’t take them as I didn’t have the right documents.
    The Dublin treaty means refugees are usually forced to stay in the country where they arrive.
    I ran out of money and ended up living on the street, at a camp where refugees were fighting
    for the right to live and work in Germany. The camp was a political place, and it motivated me.

    How is it that my life here is worse than under Muammar Gaddafi’s dictatorship? I believe in
    democracy, but in Europe it seems there’s democracy for some but not for others.
    We call our group Lampedusa in Berlin.

    I’ve been lucky.
    In Berlin, I met my girlfriend and we now have a baby boy. He’s three months old.

    When I look at him, I think about how I want him to live in a better world, and that he
    shouldn’t have to face the things I have. When I set out on the journey from Tripoli,

    I had no idea how dangerous it would be.
    I had only been on a boat once before in my life. In fact, I can’t even swim.

    Refugees don’t need our tears. They need us to stop making them refugees:

    - The EU’s de facto policy is to let migrants drown to stop others coming.
    How many more deaths can we stomach?

    إنقاذ 3000 من الغرق بمياه المتوسط في يوم واحد
    والأردنيون ينضمون لقوافل الهجرة إلى أوروبا

    آخر تحديث الأحد, 03 مايو/أيار 2015; 01:51
    دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة (CNN)-
    أعلنت البحرية الإيطالية والفرنسية إنقاذ ما يقرب من 3000 مهاجر كانوا على متن عدد من القوارب في مياه البحر المتوسط، خلال يوم واحد
    السبت، في الوقت الذي أكدت فيه السلطات المصرية ضبط 14 أردنياً أثناء محاولتهم الهجرة إلى أوروبا.

    وقالت القوات البحرية وإدارة حرس السواحل في إيطاليا إن السفن الإيطالية شاركت في عمليات إنقاذ شملت نحو 2750 مهاجراً قرب السواحل الليبية
    السبت، من بينهم 1000 شخص تم إنقاذهم من قبل إحدى فرقاطات البحرية، بينما قامت سفينة دورية تابعة لحرس السواحل بإنقاذ 675 شخصاً في عمليتين.


    وشاركت سفينة أخرى في إنقاذ 87 شخصاً، تم انتشالهم من مياه المتوسط، بحسب ما أكدت البحرية الإيطالية على حسابها بموقع "تويتر"، فيما
    قالت إدارة حرس السواحل إن إحدى دورياتها تمكنت من إنقاذ 494 مهاجراً، بالإضافة إلى إنقاذ 397 آخرين
    السبت، أثناء الاستجابة لنداء استغاثة من أحد القوارب بالمتوسط.


    كما ذكرت إدارة حرس السواحل على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي نفسه، أن إحدى سفنها تمكنت من إنقاذ 97 مهاجراً
    كانوا على متن قارب مطاطي، في طريقهم إلى أوروبا، قرب السواحل الليبية، ولم تعلن البحرية أو إدارة حرس السواحل
    على الفور، عن جنسيات المهاجرين الذين تم إنقاذهم السبت.

    من جانب آخر، أكدت البحرية الفرنسية أن إحدى سفنها، المشاركة في عمليات البحث والإنقاذ في مياه المتوسط، تمكنت
    من إنقاذ 217 مهاجراً، كانوا على متن ثلاثة قوارب، من الغرق قبالة السواحل الليبية السبت أيضاً، وقالت
    إنه سيتم تسليم هؤلاء المهاجرين إلى السلطات الإيطالية.

    وفي العاصمة المصرية القاهرة، قالت السلطات الرسمية إن قوات حرس الحدود تمكنت من إحباط محاولة 14 أردنياً
    الهجرة غير الشرعية إلى إيطاليا، من بينهم 3 رجال و4 سيدات و7 أطفال، بحسب ما أورد موقع "أخبار مصر"، نقلاً
    عن وكالة أنباء الشرق الأوسط السبت.

    thanks Hadeer for chance to express our deeply condolences to the relatives of those martyrs
    Allah bless all of them , where ever they are . they are oppressed by nature as well as governors .and we will not excuse Europe who colonized their countries and robbed their wealth . and we will not forget the slavery done by white men in africa, and what they pay now is part of their debts to africa and we will not consider it as aid or support to those poor refugees
