The Arabian youth revolt against the dictatorship of some old family clans in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya etc. on the one hand changes the societies toward more democracy. On the other hand many men and women of those nations try to escape to Europe, because they are overwhelmed by skepticism, if the politics develop up to a better level ever. Maybe it will take decades – and they are not willing to wait any longer. But Italy and Europe have a big problem: Are they able to say welcome to all those African refugees?

I imagined the influx of refugees will grow as the troubles in North Africa continued. I pray everyone finds a place and peace too. 🙂

I often sang THE STREETS OF LONDON by Ralph McTell; and in Manhattan I saw baggers, clothed with a black plastic bag … and in INDIA there is a class system; one of the bad levels: to belong to the INVISIBLE … – and daily hundreds try to escape from Africa, trying to reach Europe, mostly: LAMPEDUSA. But they are invisible too …
