POSTS ABOUT MIGRATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN

Below is a list of my posts on migration in the Mediterranean, in chronological order with the most recent first. You will see that this is far from a new phenomenon - it didn't begin with the "Arab Spring" or with civil war in Syria - and that I started writing about it in 2006. Naturally, living where I do, I have focused on the situation as it affects Italy, and Sicily in particular. Among these posts there are tales of tragedy but you will also find stories of generosity, humanity, bravery and love.
