11 years later amidst continuing massacres, injustice and struggle
3 October 2013 - 3 October 2024
11 years after 3 October 2013, when 368 people drowned just a few dozen metres off the shores of Lampedusa, much has changed in the world, but in the Central Mediterranean people continue to be killed (over 30,000 in the last 10 years, 1121 since the beginning of 2024 alone - Missing Migrants Project data) by the securitarian and neo-colonial policies of the West and, in particular, of the European Union and its member states.
The Lampedusa Massacre, however, has contributed to the indignation and anger in Italian and European civil society to cry out 'Never again'.
Not an empty and opportunist slogan like the one continuously repeated by the representatives of the same institutions that have created - and continue to do so - a Europe founded on the rejection of human beings and the cancellation of the right to asylum.
