I can not say anything about others but for Eritreans I blame our government’s mishandling responsibilities to push
people into these kind unnecessary situations .

ahmed saleh,
Wether you like it or not these people are ignorant. Everyone is sick of such kind of tragedy news. That’s why no one care about the news as these people are taking the risks knowingly. By now, I don’t think anyone can afford helping even his brother or sister for such risks. Everyone don’t want to answer private calls as they think the call is from Libya or Sudan.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? MIGRATION?

For Eritreans, the only solution to avoid this risks is get read this dictator give them break from military service.
