Día Mundial Del Refugiado

Posted 06-20-2008 at 11:40 PM by Lesley D
This is such a well-written article about the human crisis of displaced people around the world. It's no surprise that the African continent has many displaced people due to civil war and unrest as well as poverty as evidenced by the number of people who risk their lives daily in small unsecure boats to reach the coast of Spain or Italy. Spain really has a crisis on its hands with the number of Africans who cross over daily and arrive in extreme conditions of suffering. It really makes the Cuban situation seem insignificant in comparison. Although many die and never reach US soil, there's no such law that if Africans reach Spain or the Canary Islands they are permitted to stay. It's just a tragic crisis of human suffering.

Life should not be taken for granted. We all need a reminder.
