World Migration Day
In 5 months ( Jan-May 2015 ), some 50,000 migrants from
North Africa , crossed Mediterranean Sea in rickety boats, to land on shores of
Italy
That is some 10,000 per month ( soon reaching 100,000
per month ? )
Irrespective of EU countries' decision to admit only
20,000 per year , by 2020 this figure could reach 1 MILLION per month !
Why this huge migration ?
Apparent reasons :
> ISIL is terrorizing Syria / Iraq
> Boko Haram are doing the same in
Nigeria
> Houthies are following both in Yemen
> Libya is facing a civil war
> North and South Sudans are at war
> Tunisia is boiling with massive unrest
> Taliban is rearing its ugly head in
Afghanistan
> Egypt is simmering with angst against
Muslim Brotherhood
> Pakistan is becoming terrorists'
training ground
> Turkey / Lebanon / Jordan are getting
overrun with refugees
> All over Mid-East , Shias and Sunnis
are fighting
In short , most of African and Mid-East countries are
exploding with local wars , under Europe's soft underbelly and porous right
borders
Real reasons :
Millions of citizens of these countries are facing
unemployment and consequent starvation ( when not getting killed by terrorists
)
It is no different with migrants from Bangladesh and
Myanmar trying to find shelter in Indonesia / Philippines / Australia /
Thailand
Closer At Home :
Of entire World's 800 million " mal-nourished
" ( euphemism for " starving " ) people , 200 million are
in India
Only , instead of calling them " Starving "
people , we choose to call them , " Naxalites / Maoists " etc !
We fail to realize that there can be no political
solution to " Starvation " !
Where can they migrate ? There is no " Promised
Land " on India's borders !
Solution ?
Since no developed country wants to admit migrants from
poor countries , let UNO declare , Antarctica as " United States of
Migrants " - USM
And fix quotas of migrants that each poor country can
dispatch to USM each year ( roughly in proportion to " Starving "
population of each poor country )
Then contribute funds for creating settlements in
Antarctica ( - in any case , due to Global Warming , ice-shelves are melting
and soon Antarctica will become habitable ) .
For the rich countries , this would be the most ,
economically and socially viable solution
Let a beginning be made by declaring 27 June , as
" World Migration Day
"
