Europe shamed by Melilla massacre richardsudan writes that Fortress Europe killing black Africans on African soil to prevent them crossing into the EU is the opposite of civilisation
The backdrop and wider context of what happened too, is bad enough but so are the optics; Melilla is part of Africa, but officially is an enclave of Spanish territory making it part of the European Union.
Secondly, you only have to look at the videos of African migrants trying to scale the fence and the way the authorities attacked them to realize that the safety of black migrants is not a priority. Preserving their lives is not a priority. Preventing them from reaching the safety of Europe however, is.
Spanish police officers on the African continent rush to stop African refugees from crossing a boarder fence separating Morocco from the north African Spanish enclave of Melilla. On the contrary, red tape has been cut for them, people have taken them into their homes identifying with them, and EU states have bent over backwards to allow them to participate in society including offering them immediate access and a legal pathway to free movement, the job market, and educational resources.
