Migrants: Ucoii Vice President, Draghi find solutions

“On the issue of migrants, it is a total failure on the part of Europe that manages to deal with an emergency in the right way, a phenomenon that always repeats itself with continuous human tragedies”. This was stated in an interview with AdnKronos by the Imam of Catania and president of the Islamic Community in Sicily, Abdelhafid Kheit. “Sicily – he adds – is the gateway to Europe but unfortunately also Italy, with its policies, is failing to make it clear that migration is a question that should concern the entire European community”. “Our appeal – highlights the national vice president of UCOi – first of all is to remain human. We are ‘forced’ to do everything to welcome those in need by helping our brothers who arrive on the Sicilian coast. Our island, in its small way, is doing its part ”. Abdelhafid Kheit also hopes that “Draghi, as he is doing to carry out important projects for Italy, can find solutions at a European level for this problem.” “In Eastern Europe we are witnessing a real human drama compared to what Sicily and Italy do, which are more human and sensitive to the phenomenon of migrants.” “What we are seeing on the Belarusian border with Poland is not acceptable. It is not acceptable – the Imam of Catania underlines – to see children, women dying from the cold. It is not acceptable to build walls, we need to create ‘human corridors’ for these people who need help ”. “Our wish and appeal to the American President Biden – concludes the President of the Islamic community in Sicily – is that certain policies change course and go towards the poor and the needy to try to find solutions. The greats of the world have a great responsibility to face this challenge as well as that of the climate “. (By Francesco Bianco)
