We will be watching for any sign that the US will offer to airlift any to the US, or make noises about taking “refugees” in some sort of emergency fashion.
In the meantime, Europe is sweating—first Tunisia, then Egypt and now Libya.
Here are some recent reports:
*The New York Times reports here on an EU meeting to figure out who is going to pay for all the refugees.
* There are two reports, here and here from Switzerland (not a member of the EU) about the refugee situation. Interestingly there are tens of thousands of Chinese in Libya now trying to get out (oil field workers?).
* Aljazeera on foreigners fleeing and European worries, here.
* CNN says UN warning of mass exodus from Libya, here.
* RT News says Italian island overrun with illegal immigrants, here.
* Somali refugees mistaken for mercenaries in Libya, here.
I’ll add to this list as the news comes in (always looking for any news that the US is going to do something irrational!).
