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  "
