I wrote a short op ed in @TheTimesofMalta about Malta's complicity in the 11 Oct shipwreck ten years ago, and their ongoing abandonment of people at sea. Thinking today of people fleeing violence everywhere, and the ongoing struggle for peace & freedom. timesofmalta.com/articles/vi…

Death and abandonment

Authorities call shipwrecks tragedies, but do little to encourage rescues at sea
