Unfortunately it’s a very complicated issue.
But one thing is for sure: you won’t stop corruption in poor countries.

I wasn’t suggesting international headline news would stop the traffickers. An international response to stop the traffickers. If a similar number of people had died in a natural disaster or a fire there would be far more on the story.

It was headline news here yesterday. They also said most were on their way to the UK.

Because of the sheer numbers. Over 600 dead!

It has been reported on the UK news. I don’t see why it should be headline news everywhere. That won’t stop the traffickers.

Yesterday it was reported 79 feared dead in this incident. It’s now being reported as breaking news that over 600 feared dead. I can’t understand why it’s not headline news. 9 reported to have been arrested. I wish there could be an international response to people traffickers. They are the ones driving this and getting wealthy on the backs of these migrants and placing them in unsafe boats.
