Italian POW camps in Africa
In Africa, there were different Italian prison camps (16 in Libya , 1 in Eritrea , 1 in Somalia ). In the camps they were sent to both the tribes removed from Gebel el-Achdar both belonging to the indigenous semi-nomadic tribes wandering around the oasis or inside.
In the 4 re-education camps were sent to young people from the most advanced tribes indigenous to train them as officials used the colonial administration.
Finally, in the three fields of punishment were sent to all those who had committed crimes or obstructed the Italian occupation.
From the testimony of a survivor, Reth Belgassen inmate to Agheila :
" had to survive on a handful of rice or flour, and often was too tired to work ... I remember the misery and the beatings ... Our women were holding a container in the tent needs to do ... were afraid to leave the risk of being taken by the Italians by the Ethiopians or the executions took place ... ... the center of the field and the Italians brought all the people watching. Forced us to watch as our brothers died. Every day they went out 50 dead bodies. "

Some may think it is exaggerated to bring in colonialism and guilt? It would be if the story had really taught us anything, it would be if the eighty African boat they were criminals guilty of horrible things (but not).
But history reminds us that we are the real killers and reality teaches us that we return today to be so for the second time.
E 'unhappy with the security we can only wait to count the next victims, while who should act only think of inventing the naval battle of illegal immigrants on facebook . Not only become more and more manifest the inability to govern, but once again concerned about the mental health of our rulers: how bad their own criminal record from mobsters and murderers.
While yet another slaughter of migrants at sea and stirs outrage dismay, on Facebook surfers leaguers enjoy to do away with the boats with a click immigrants on board. winner is unable to send back more immigrants. Whenever a boat is rejected, you are alerted with the sound of a bell. It's called "Bounce the clandestine" and is an application developed earlier this summer and available on the official page of the Northern League on Facebook. From here can be shared and publicized on each profile. to administer the page is the son of the Northern League of Umberto Bossi, Renzo, born in 1988, supported the work by Fabio Betti , another doc League. From the movement of young Po, Betty, is bound by a friendship not only virtual Renzo, and was often referred to as the 'man facebook "Northern League. E 'him to post links, news and update the bulletin board. And, in early June, he presented himself as the creator of "Bounce the illegal immigrant." "We decided to focus on interactivity and much on the net - he explained, introducing the interactive application - trying to engage, jokingly, youth, and raise awareness about what, in crime, is a real phenomenon that affects our coasts ". And who knows whether, with his friend Renzo, imagined that the reality of these days he could dramatically exceed the target of its virtual play. The application, which also has a fan page, is introduced by a few lines of explanation: "The goal of this game is to retain control of illegal immigrants arriving in Italy." On one screen is depicted the peninsula, along with buoys and life jackets. Obviously, no one will ever no life jacket, because the only goal of the player is to get rid of the boat appeared suddenly, clicking on the mouse, by up to five times. The points you receive for each boat hit depend on its size: one for smaller ones, up to a maximum of five. landings occur along the coasts, including those of Liguria. A bar at the top, it keeps track of the boats sent back: "If the bar will be at best - explain the instructions - it will mean that you have demonstrated your skills, you will go to the next level." The more it goes on, and more "enemies" to reject multiply. Lose those who can not get rid of enough boats. In this case you get the classic message of "game over", accompanied by a call of luck again: " try again. You'll see that next time can you prove to be a true League ".
