With reference to the editorial "Lost at sea" (Oct. 5), Italy and EU could do better by getting to the bottom of why this people fled their country. These countries, specially Eritrea, is being run by cruel regimes. While Italy called for national day of mourning, the Eritrean government did not do that but instead blame the victims. This people are desperate to flee even if it would cost their precious lives. May they rest in peace .They were not only fleeing poverty but were also longing for freedom. Alma, Online response
