Reader Charles, from Malta, has alerted us to more news on the latest African migrant boat incident we told you about last night. Turns out the migrants are not Somalis but come from various African nations and when brought ashore in Malta became violent demanding they be taken to Italy.
I don’t know who made the Somali ID mistake, but I wouldn’t put it past the illegal aliens to initially claim Somali ethnicity knowing the West is bending over backwards to accommodate Somali “refugees.”
Below are the two reports from Charles (emphasis is mine).
From the Times of Malta (yesterday):
A group of 129 migrants arrived at Marsamxett on board a patrol boat – some 24 hours after their rubber dinghy was spotting in rough seas 70 miles south of Malta yesterday.
One was referred to hospital.
The migrants – mainly men – appeared in good health as they disembarked from the deck of the patrol boat. Some were covered by blankets.
Most of them – 70, are from Gambia, 36 from Senegal, two from Nigeria, three from Sierra Leone, one from Guinea, six from Guinea-Bissau, 10 from Mali, and one from Burkina Faso.
Clearly economic migrants! Not “refugees” or “asylum seekers” escaping persecution!

Then also from the Times of Malta yesterday, rescued Africans got violent when they were placed in detention:
A group of some 130 newly-arrived migrants caused a disturbance at Safi Detention Camp – protesting that they wanted to be sent to Italy.
Informed sources said the disturbance started when members of the group objected to being held at Safi Detention Centre.
They insisted that they wanted to be sent to Italy.
Items were thrown at Detention officers and reinforcements of the Police Rapid Intervention Unit and the AFM were called in.
Photo is from an AFP story that has the nationalities of the aliens listed as well.
For new readers, I’ll bet we have over a hundred posts on Malta over the last 6 plus years. We follow the island nation’s troubles with illegal immigration because the US State Department (egged-on by the Jesuits of Malta) has contributed to it by turning some Somalis (mostly young men!) who arrived there illegally into “refugees” and sent them to America thus creating a magnet for more illegals to attempt the journey.

Addendum: Here is a story I don’t have time to post. It is about the pile-up of mostly economic migrants in Libya all hoping to get aboard one of these vessels to Europe. I wonder what Samantha Power, Hillary and Susan Rice think now about their excellent adventure in Libya—so much for the responsibility to protect!
