Can’t believe that this supposed Christians and Muslims who are fine breaking the law couldn’t maintain détente long enough to get to their destination.

Thousands make the illegal and perilous boat trip from Libya to Italy every year, desperate to get to Europe and make a new life there. The trip, often in overcrowded boats, is dangerous enough without the migrants turning on each other.

But that’s what happened on a recent trip, according to CNN. Italian Police intercepted one of the boats at sea in Sicily, Palermo. They were transferred to an Italian navy vessel- where investigations showed that 12 of the original 105 people who made the trip did not survive.

The 12, believed to be Christians from Ghana and Nigeria were thrown overboard by their fellow travellers; Muslims from Mali, Senegal, and the Ivory Coast.

15 people were arrested in connection to the crime, with other travellers saying they were also threatened after protesting the treatment meted out to the others. They were only spared because they protected themselves by forming a ‘human chain’.

The reason for this despicable action has not been fathomed yet, but with the clear religious demarcation of victims and perpetrators I wouldn’t be shocked it’s religious in nature.

Africans, again, refusing to co-exist to work together towards a better existence for each other. Even at sea.
