Why doesn’t Europe grieve deaths in the Mediterranean?
Al JazeeraThe uncomfortable reality is that to Europeans, not all lives are equal. “The persisting humanitarian crisis in the Central Mediterranean is intolerable,” said IOM Director General António Vitorino in response to the figures. Her analysis suggests that we have come to tolerate the routine drowning of non-European refugees because their lives and deaths “simply do not touch us, or do not appear as lives at all”. Very often, refugees are also described as “unfortunate people” who happen to be born in places where conflict or poverty is rampant. These causes include war, conflict and natural disasters, but also so-called “slow killers” like extreme poverty and global inequality, climate change and food insecurity.
