Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

20,000 illegal Muslim migrants poised to set out from North Africa to Italy

Jun 10, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The UK has continued to allow illegal Muslim migrants to enter the country through the English Channel during the coronavirus lockdown, with the help of the French navy. Also, Turkey’s coast guard has again begun escorting illegal Muslim migrants into Greek waters. Now:

At least 20,000 migrants are poised to set out from the coast of North Africa toward Italy, the Italian Interior Ministry has said. In a letter to the European Commission, it dramatically warned that “a new emergency is approaching” and called for a common European strategy in response.

The common EU strategy has been wide-open borders, escorting in the hijrah, so good luck to Italy, particularly with its Leftist government. Voice of Europe reported in April that illegal Muslim migrants were already flowing in, helped along by globalists:

Migrants from North Africa set sail on the Mediterranean already in possession of phone numbers of a Soros-funded organization’s lawyer in their pockets, said [former] Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini in reference to a report from Italian daily Il Giornale. The migrants contacted the lawyer while they were still sailing on a damaged rubber boat from Libya to Europe. The lawyer then filed an appeal on their behalf with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) while they were still at sea.

“Italy warns of new migration emergency,” Arab News, June 8, 2020:

ROME: At least 20,000 migrants are poised to set out from the coast of North Africa toward Italy, the Italian Interior Ministry has said. In a letter to the European Commission, it dramatically warned that “a new emergency is approaching” and called for a common European strategy in response.

Trips from North Africa to the shores of Sicily have decreased during Italy’s three-month long lockdown as Rome combatted the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Now that the number of new cases has fallen in the past few months — with the majority of new cases in the northern region of Lombardy, which has been worst hit by the pandemic — Italian authorities believe that the flow of migrants will resume at a much higher pace.

Italian intelligence sources quoted by La Stampa daily newspaper claimed that migrants will set out in boats and dinghies, mainly from Tunisia and Libya, encouraged by the return of NGO vessels patrolling the coast of Libya.

“We were expecting something like that. Those people in North Africa want to reach Europe. They will use every possible means to do it, especially as summer is coming and the weather gets better. If the government does not act quickly and effectively, it will be an invasion,” Maurizio Gasparri of the opposition party Forza Italia told Arab News.

The rescue vessels have not been operating during the COVID-19 lockdown as the Italian government declared all its seaports unsafe and said it could not guarantee migrants’ safety. Italian ports were going to stay closed until the end of July, but as the situation has improved in Italy the government is considering easing this restriction earlier. The NGO Sea-Watch announced that its ship would patrol the Channel of Sicily again in the next few days.

According to the Interior Ministry in Rome, 5,461 migrants, 818 of them Tunisians, have reached Italy on fishing boats and dinghies since the beginning of the year. In the same period in 2019 only 1,878 made the journey.

With a “new emergency” imminent, the Italian government has asked the EU “for an equitable distribution of asylum seekers.” According to the Corriere della Sera daily newspaper, Spain, Greece, Malta and Cyprus support Italy’s position. Rome has called on Brussels both to negotiate with Libya and Tunisia on ways to check departures, and to explore how to manage arrivals within the EU…..

        I was there in the mid-1990s, and I enjoyed it. Especially Sicily.

        With what’s been happening, however, I’m never going back…

    Why do they continue to call them “asylum seekers”? They are not seeking asylum but rather free money. They are not educated in any way therefore cannot contribute to a civilized society. Their ultimate goal is conquest….conquest of a civilized society by brute force because they basically have nothing else to do with their lives.

      Exactly. ‘Asylum seekers’ makes the Italians sound so nice for taking them in. Give them a more meaningful name, like “unskilled, unable to contribute, future welfare recipients looking for handouts and intent on replacing European culture with Sharia”. There. Maybe that will change a few minds.

    if all muslim hijrah into EUrabaia was stopped immediately, it would probably take 25 or 30 years for the EUrabian ummah’s population explosion to overwhelm the locals and turn them into dhimmis and slaves. given that that nazis currently running those unfortunate nations are importing ever-larger crowds of muslims, that end will occur even sooner. i’m an old fart, but i have little doubt that i will live to see the late victory of civilization at tours in 732 reversed by the demographic victory of the hijrah of the ummah. the left is enabling this victory, attempting to use the ummah as a proxy army, and planning to build a socialist utopia on the smoking ruins, but i seriously doubt that the ummah will allow this. there are far more muslims than hard-core leftists in EUrabia, and the latter all want to live, not die to attain immediate entrance into jannah. the ummah are also unfazed by terror tactics visited upon them by the left, since they are stewed in hatred and supremacism since birth; it will just piss them off and make them more brutal.

    goodbye, europe; U were beautiful while U lasted.

      All sadly true, b.a. freeman.

      Good thing they shot the movie “Roman Holiday” (1953) when they did…

      Places that were completely conquered by Islam were able to free themselves–Spain, Portugal, southern France, southern Italy, Sicily, Greece, the Balkans, Israel.

      I’m not going to surrender yet.

        gravenimage,

        That is true if the current citizens in the affected countries still have the WILL, and that is a big question mark.

        Current Israel citizens certainly do, I’m not sure about the citizens of the other countries that you have listed…

          True–knowledge of the threat of Islam and the will to do something about it is what this all hinges on, James.

      Why is this point so rarely made? All those Syrian refugees, do they even attempt to go to Saudi? The Saudis financed and armed the rebels but wont take one refugee. I wish someone would point out how indifferent the Arabs are the suffering of people of the other type of Islam.
      As Micheal Portillo pointed out the Saudis could solve all the misery in Palestine with 0.1% of their wealth. Why dont they?
      The left in Europe will go on making excuses and convincing themselves that it’s all our fault, is there a number of economic migrants that they agree is too many? 20,000 -200,000?
      Read the history of the endless appeasement of Germany 1930-39 to realise how bad things have to get before politicians are willing to act. Once these people are embedded in the west it will be impossible to identify the ” enemy”.
      Democracy cant survive this, Brussels is 40% Arab. As soon as they have a majority vote they will opt for Sharia and that’s the end of it.
      London will reappoint the appalling Khan with a landslide because of the demographic make up of population.
      Christopher Hitchens said,” the 1st thing they will take away is your right to complain”.
      Wake up!

        Muslims come to the West because it is wealthy, generous, and–as Muslims see it–ripe for conquest.

    There will be tallks, there will be discussions, there will be proposals, and quotas… All as per usual.

    But none of it will make any difference at all.

    None of these migrants will be sent back, they will all be accommodated somewhere, they will all get their “free money” in Europe.

    Italy’s fate was sealed when the Italian Democrats got rid of Matteo Salvini. Enjoy the Coliseum now, before it becomes a latrine.

    20,000 muslim migrant invaders heading for your country is a major attack on your civilization. Islam has only one thing on its agenda and that is the overthrow of your country and the installation of a dictatorship form of rule using “religion” for the justification of its violence and murder. Closed borders to the islamic invasion is the only answer.
